Counting down to Monday


We started the countdown today by celebrating Agnes' 3rd b-day in fine style - with mani/pedi's at La Belle Salon!! Agnes was skeptical at first - said she wanted to go to the grocery store with Dad instead of with Mom and Grandma. But she took one look at the rows of nail polish to choose from and was converted!! And she certainly entertained everyone in the salon.

Phoebe is "lookin' good" but is happy to put her feet up!!


And I must say, Phoebe has the art of the guest gift basket down to a science - at least she knows how to read me!!


And look what she found at the Dollar Store!!


Calvin sure knows how to make taking the trash out a lot of fun!! (Later Henry punched holes in the sides and threaded string through them to make some spiffy stilt walkers!! Those Cub Scouts know how to have a good time, don't they??)


This is the hydrangea plant I bought when Henry was born - it's taller than he is - and thriving too!


And here's Agnes admiring David's tomato plant - with one green tomato so far!! For David, hope springs eternal!!


Agnes said, "I want the cupcakes on fire when you sing Happy Birthday!")


Neighbors and friends joined our little soiree in the backyard.


This princess dress up outfit was a big hit with Agnes!!


You had to be there, but she was twirling and dancing around all day long. And making everyone around her smile - a lot like the 3 year-old her mom was!!

I'll be doing an up-to-the-minute blog post for Monday's big event. The birth is scheduled for 12 noon - so be checking in!!
