Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!

Maggie has a very big day tomorrow. She starts preschool!!!!! Actually it's more like an open house/parent meeting type of thing for just an hour, but she'll be able to meet her teachers and get acquainted with the classroom and stuff with me around, then...Thursday is the big day of going solo. We've got gymnastics in the morning, then, Maggie and I and Paula and Daniel (her neighbor friend who'll be in her class) are going out for a special "preschool lunch" at where else?...Applebees of course. I'm pretty sure Daniel will be getting chicken nuggets, and Mags, macaroni. It's pretty predictable. We've already got the outfit picked out and she's finished her pre-preschool homework (a coloring page that we had to put her picture on) so she's all ready to go! Maya's getting dropped off at Becky's so we don't have to deal with her. : )

Both the girls are obsessed with gymnastics. Morning till night it's Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy! Maya also, as we discovered tonight, is an avid football fan. Somehow, Elmo, elbow and football all sound the same...something like "eh bow". She throws her hands up for a "touchdown" and she has a hard time when a commercial comes on. "I wanna see football" she says (or something like that!)

Last weekend we had our bible study friends over...Josh and Becky and Charlie - Chris, Tamara, Henry and Eli. It was a zoo of course, but very fun. The kids took a dip in the pool and we BBQ'd, played in the backyard and had ice cream cones. We don't see them as much as we used to, just because they both live about 30 min. away. So sad.

Grandma was here last week. It went VERY fast, but we had a great time as usual. We did some shopping at the outlet mall, went to the zoo and of course did lots of playing outside. She got to see Maggie's first gymnastics class and the gymnastics obsession going full force. : ) We can't wait to get to Seattle in 3 weeks or so to see her and everyone else soon. Bella is also excited to make the trip too. She got 2 shots today and so has already retired to her bed for the night. Poor Boo-ee.

I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow...so we can get some "first day of preschool" pics up too.

Oh, Poppy, we found your CD case thingy with your ear buds...actually grandma found it...it was crammed under the front seat or something. We'll bring it back with us in a couple weeks.
