Preschool

Thursday was Maggie's first day of 4 year old preschool! She had her outfit picked out days in advance, complete with heavy tights...just right for an 80+ degree day! She went off with new princess lunchbox and Tinkerbell back pack in tow. She's now going Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30 -2:30. She loves the longer days and getting to eat lunch at school and I finally get some one on one time with Maya.



In front of her classroom, showing her brown bear name tag. Her class is the Brown Bears.

Before the parents left for the day, her teacher, Mrs. Ringrose gave the kids this little note to give the parent. It was really cute.
Here's what it says if you can't read it:
Hugs and kisses for you today.
Have no worries while I'm at play.
I'm making new friends in this new place,
See you at 2:30 with a smile on my face!
Love,
Your Brown Bear
Attached to it was a little bag of Hershey's Kisses and Hugs. Yum! Maya and I really enjoyed them!

Tea Party

Aaron and I were invited to a tea party the other day. There were six of us all together...Daddy, Mommy, Big Bear, Little Bear, Maggie and Maya. We all squished around the little table and had a wonderful morning filled with tea and other delicious goodies homemade right in the living room kitchen.








We had a great time playing with the girls. No one was fighting...well, except for over who got which color cup...and no one was whining...well, except for who got to sit in what chair next to what bear... All in all, a fun and peaceful morning. Cheers!

Summer's Last Hurrah!

Labor Day weekend was the last weekend for our neighborhood pool to be open. Thankfully the weather was nice enough for us to get our last long weekend of use out of it. We used it tons this summer and are definitely glad to have it!

Beeping

A short conversation with the Magster earlier today in the car.

MJ: Mom, my leg is beeping!

Me: Well, I don't really think your leg is beeping.

MJ: It is...and I think I know how it is beeping.

Me: Really? How?

MJ: I think God is poking it.

Big day

Last Saturday was a big day in the life of our little Maggie. First of all, it was the weekend of Woodbury Days, so the girls and I loaded up and went out to join in the festivities. And what could be better than crazy hair?!

Next (and this is the BIG reveal) Mags and I, along with our neighbor Paula and her daughter Kyra headed out to a girls lunch and, yes you guessed it, EAR PIERCING! It was the day they both had been waiting for. Mags picked out her ear rings (little silver ball studs) and sat bravely in the chair, not really knowing what was going to happen.
Then it hit her like a ton of bricks!

And then it was over and she was all over the store wanting everything Claire's sold.

Now she's happy as a clam and very responsible for keeping her ears cleaned multiple times a day. She's pretty darn cute too. : )
