end of summer

We went to the zoo today, for one last summer adventure. School finally starts next Tuesday. It's been a fun, long, summer and now we are all ready to get back to a school schedule. The boys will be going to Pre-K Monday thru Thursday mornings. Maya will be in preschool Tuesday and Thursday mornings. It will be a bit emotional to have all 3 gone for those few short hours, but I'm really excited.

Maya's stats

Maya had her 3 year check up today. She's 26 lbs (10%) and 36 inches (40%)...basically she's a "peanut". I love my little peanut!

Princess party

Whoo hoo, let's start this party

Lola even got in the action

Yummy cookies

No, I didn't make them...but my local grocery store did

Yes, even I dressed up as a princess. I did buy Maya a matching Snow White dress, but as usual, she refused to wear what I wanted her to wear.

As the party ended, the girls had enough of being prissy and decided to play with the boys' swords...as Lena demonstrates.

Maya had a great party and is so lucky to have special friends to celebrate with.

Thanks everyone.

Maya's 3...yipee

Maya had a great birthday. For weeks now she has been asking for her birthday...and it finally came. When she woke in the morning she KNEW it was her day. We had donuts for breakfast, opened presents, went to the local pool, had dinner at Joe's Crab Shack and then came home to have cake. Maya loved her birthday and loved her birthday party the next day...pictures to come...
