Happy "Mom, Mom, Mom, Mommy's Day".......

I CANNOT believe today is my 3rd Mother's Day!  We had a great day! We went to lunch with "the girls".  Here is Delaney who is suppose to be smiling!  Obviously, her cousin Adarrah knows how to follow directions.  Why can't a two year old???  This girl is chock full of personality!

 A little better...........

 Then we headed home to play with balls and bubbles..........

 And Delaney's new grocery cart from aunt Beth.  I went to take this picture and I told my mom that Delaney was "doing her business".  I love that part of being a mom is knowing exactly what Delaney is doing (even if it does involve "business").

 And then it was time for a nap (after a wardrobe change).

 Then back up for more playtime and to wait for Amy and Gracie to come over for a cookout.

 And a pedicure---for Delaney, not me, you know the "MOTHER"!!!

 Delaney will tell every living single soul that Amy did her toes (I'm not ready for fingers)!

 After our cookout, it was time for dessert!  These strawberries were much bigger than they appear in this picture!

 They

 Were

 Messy!!!

 I also got a locket that holds pictures of my two favorite people!

 Although it is my 3rd Mother's Day today, I keep thinking about my first.  Just a few days before, David and I took Delaney for a walk (after checking the pollen count of course) and David was telling me how he had been stressing over what to get me for my first Mother's Day and how I always put so much thought into my gifts and he really wanted to get me something special.  The irony of that conversation was that David was THE BEST gift giver ever.  He was always so extravagant when it came to gifts.  Don't you think??????????? 

P.S. David got me flowers and a card with the sweetest words a new mom could ever hear........

Reading.........

Delaney's not quite ready for The Hunger Games but I sure hope she's always a reader......

Wordless Wednesday

We got our monthly Amazon diaper delivery this morning along with a few other things.  Here is Delaney's new beach bag for Florida.  You should hear her say "Octopus".  I"ll try to video it for you.  It's so cute......

 And here is what I got delivered.  I am excited to try my new products.  The Olay is their new tinted moisturizer and the GoldBond is their new lotion.  Stay tuned!!!

 Here is Delaney in the drive through at the bank today.  She is staring at the Ice Cream truck in the lane next to us.  LUCKILY, they don't come in our neighborhood!!!

 I really wish they would install straps on high chairs...spoken in my sarcastic voice!

REALLY???????????????

I have never gotten a jury summons before so when I saw this sitting in the mailbox I was not happy.  Now, I realize it's my "civic duty" and all but once I saw

 WHERE IT SAYS TO APPEAR AT 8:00 A.M. 

I was not a happy citizen!!!

  When I worked (outside the home of course!) I didn't even go to work that early!!! It said to notify my employer "immediately" that I may have jury duty.  So, I let Delaney know but explaining our judicial system to a two year old is not exactly easy!  I will be letting the Judge know that I will be happy to serve and so will my two year old daughter!  Because we all know where I go--she goes!!! Oh my land they are gonna love her!!  We'll keep you posted if "we" actually have to serve.  I am coming up with all sorts of reasons to avoid my "civic duty".

No commentary today for these pictures, I'll let the "cuteness" speak for itself.  

We have a low key week (well, for us) this week which will leave us plenty of time to enjoy one (or two) of Dairy Queen's Blizzard of the month--CONFETTI CAKE MIX!!  Oh my land what are we going to do when the new one by us opens up????? 

Fun Day

We got up this morning and got ready having every intention of going to story time.  What I did not have intentions of was arguing with the Air Tran representative about their uncooperative website! After two phone calls and well, you can only imagine the rest, we are booked for our trip to FL. 

It's not for awhile but we're still excited for our trip and especially excited to receive Delaney's new Melissa and Doug beach bag she'll be taking (and carrying)!!  We had some errands today and met Amy for lunch.  On the way home (and I'm talking a ten minute drive) this is what happened (despite how loud I cranked up the radio).  She came in and went straight to bed...and about 45 minutes later, was still gabbing away in her crib.  She eventually fell asleep and woke up at 5:30!  

 

 And was ready to go!  We went for a walk and played with bubbles..........

 And ran around the yard (notice the skinned up left knee--that was from yesterday)...........

 "Delaney honey, let's keep the SIDEWALK chalk ON THE SIDEWALK!!!

Commander In Chief......

Delaney climbed into the recliner and pointed to the handle and said "up" which was code for "mommy, get off the sofa and come and recline the recliner for me". Which I did.....then she pointed to her "nenny" a/k/a blanket so I got off the sofa and handed her the blanket.  Then she pointed to her "day day" a/k/a baby so I got off the sofa and handed her the baby (underneath the blanket).

Sorry, I gotta go, Delaney now wants the "pliplo" a/k/a pillow...............

Normally, I DO NOT wait on her when she shoots me orders.  I tell her if she wants it to get up and get it herself. But sometimes, it's just too hard to resist her cuteness!
