a beautiful month for some birthdays

i'm making pink cake pops tonight for a certain little girl's third birthday coming up. she has requested a pink fete! we went shopping yesterday for her pink birthday dress. she is going to be a shopping force to be reckoned with! she definitely knows what she likes and what she doesn't.
we've already had one fun birthday night this month. all it took to satisfy that birthday boy was a plateful of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, and carrot cake. marianne insisted on the candles, lighting them, taste-testing the frosting by the finger-full (much the same as she likes to eat butter straight from the dish), singing happy birthday, and calling daddy the "birthday boy"! and now into the rosy affair in our near future with a houseful of tots to help us celebrate. plus, there's still more than a handful of other family birthdays (immediate and extended families) left to go this month.

we've had some beautiful, warm afternoons for playing outside this past week...i hope it continues. we broke out the tonka and henry had his first ride in the tree swing. i had you keep marianne from pushing very hard...she wants him to have all the same fun that she does.

I remember another little blonde girl eating butter (aka parkay) from the dish!!! The pictures are fantastic! Love to you all, Nana
