"BSD"

This girl is getting big. Just ask her and she'll tell you that she's soon going to be a biiiiiig sister. Therefore, we had "Big Sister Day!"

Evie may never remember BSD. She may not ever know that her school was closed and I took off so that I could spend a day with just her. Just us. Having a special day before baby brother arrives. She may never think another thing about it. For me, I treasured that day. We had fun. She ruled the day and that was all part of the plan.

We started off with breakfast. She picked Hardee's. Fine by me. Gravy biscuits for the table. After that we got ready for pedis, shopping, lunch and an afternoon at the pool. She opted to have her hair fixed like a big girl, picked out a dress and maybe a touch of makeup. She was SO big.

Off to the nail place. EB had never had her toenails done for real and she was beside herself. I bit my tongue as she picked GRAPE purpley polish complete with flowers, butterflies and silver glitter. Whew. She sat in their special chair and didn't move a muscle.

And so ends the pics from BSD. However, she then opted to pick out a lovey for JBB. Of the 44563 breeds of animal loveys, she picked a giraffe and asked for his name to be monogrammed in "shiny red." We're at that phase, can you tell? Life is....uh.....well, colorful at our house. Purple. Silver glitter. Shiny red. She's the big sister, so bring it on.

We ended our day at the pool, and all was right in her little...ahem.... Big sister world and it made my heart happy. It was a day well worth it. We are spending this last weekend as a family of three, but we are so so so excited to meet this baby boy. It's hard to believe our family portrait will soon change. What a blessing.
