I can't stop Beat Boxing!

Maya's last words tonight.....
It's true.  The girl has been beat boxing this tune for DAYS!!!!!

Maya is very excited about school.  We went to visit last night.  She is enamored with the monkey bars.  However, preschoolers don't stay for lunch and recess.... so that explanation isn't going well.
We signed her up for a Montessori School within Kalamazoo Public.  So there are 3 preschoolers (3-4 yr olds) mixed into the Kinder class.
I already don't like several things about it, namely the commute & limited outdoor time.  Lack of communication and information is an afterthought.   Is there time to ditch them, find a new school, register, and settle in?  I have 5 days.  4 of which are holiday/weekend/no-one-at-school-to-answer-the-phone-days.

Early August Beach & Fairs

 Climbing up to the top of the dunes at Van Buren State Park.

 Running down with Babçia.... halfway, and making her go back up.

Train Show with Grandpa.  Maya said her favorite part was the Legos.  Even though the snooty adult Lego enthusiast insist that the plural is "Lego" not "Legos".  And they are "bricks" not BLOCKS.  Oh brother!

 That's quite a get up you have on, Genna.  Love your leotard & hiking boots.  And why are you napping on the driveway?  Pictured is half the accoutrements that Genna lugs around constantly.

 Maya has been wanting Roller Blades for a long time.  I finally found her size at a rummage sale.  

She says it's EASY.

 Genna is the best Hula Hooper

 We spent a lot of time with Angela this week.  Even got her to try some new things like creepy crawlies and mystery snacks!  (we didn't eat the bugs, just the snacks)

 Our attempt at the Kalamazoo County Fair was a rainy cold mess.  So we pretty much had the barns to ourselves.  Steve & the boys also braved the weather to discover newly hatched chicks, which we may or may not have been allowed to pick up!

I am procrastinating.... need to sew right now!!!!!
