Wordless Wednesday::Guinea Pig Tea Party



Breakfast Tea Party

This morning as soon as we were all downstairs and snuggled on the couch, Grace said to me:  "Mama, let's have a tea party today."  We added that to the list of things we wanted to do today and got busy making blueberry muffins and getting ready for our tea party.  

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

It was a morning full of laughter, magic, wonder and friendship.  A glorious way to spend a day, indeed. 

A Day At Home

Dave dropped my car off last night in order to be serviced today, and so by default we had a home day today.  We love home days.  So far we've done a little bit of everything.

Checking out the new sewing cards.

I made them yesterday from the fronts of cereal boxes. 

Then we made some blueberry muffins for breakfast.

The muffins were supposed to be for breakfast but we were running a little behind so they ended up being eaten during the tea party instead.

Then it was time for a round of hide 'n seek.  

Where's Emma?  

There she is!

Emma, where's Grace?

"Ah!"  

A picnic lunch topped off our very fun morning.

And on that note, my friends, I am going to go enjoy the peace of nap/quiet time.  

It's been a busy day and there is still more to come.  

Enjoy the rest of your day!

We'll see you tomorrow, if not sooner. 

Princess Grace and The Divine Miss Em's Tea Party

The girls had their first real tea party today!  For sometime they have been having pretend tea parties, ones where no food or drink was present.  Now that Em is older it seemed like it was time to introduce them to the joys of holding a tea party complete with "tea".  Santa, in all his wisdom, brought them a tea set for Christmas.  One that is safe for food and liquids to be used in, and even better, it's BPA free!  What a cool guy to bring a "green" gift for the girls!  They donned their favorite outfits, and with a little explanation ("yes, there really is liquid in the tea pot and yes, you really can take turns pouring it") the tea party got underway.  The teapot was filled with water several times, animal crackers, Cinnamon Life and craisins were in bowls, although not much of the food was consumed, and lots of water ended up on the table!  The pictures below tell the wondrous whole story.
