T Stands for Tea for Two and Picnic for Three

 Our schools are on Spring break right now, so I got to have the pleasure of having two of my GDs for a sleep over Sunday night (Mom and Dad got an extra hour of sleep Monday AM)  Monday morning, after a heavy painting and drawing session the girls wanted to have a tea party with colored water.  Let's face it plain, clear water just isn't as fun to pretend tea with!!.

Oh yes, they also dressed for tea.  I bough a full net slip, like square dancers wear, at the 2nd hand store for them to play in.  There is also a pair of high healed boots that come into play too, Megan is wearing them.  With both girls here the rule is one gets the tutu (as they call it) and the other get's to wear the boots, then trade later.......keeps the cat fights down for sure!!!  lol

 Hannah ( on the right), being the oldest sister gets to do the honor of pouring the "tea".  These dishes, table and chairs were bought for her when she was about 3, she will be 8 in August and won't want to play like this much longer.  Of course tea isn't right without the "biscuit", so graham crackers came into play here.

 For lunch they had asked to have a picnic, the old fashioned kind where you sit on a blanket.  Megan and I had a ham sandwich and Hannah opted for her BB&J. We also had cheese puffs, fuzzy water (sugar free, flavored, carbonated water) and cookies for desert.  Yes, those cups are really that big. We chuck them as full of ice as we can, then they last all day as we like the ice water, even if it mixes with our flavored water.

Then they headed for the playground.  Shafter is not very big but we do have a nice park, it is a large triangle block, and has been here for ever.  We only come when we are having beautiful days like today, the summer time it is just too hot to even play on the equipment.

So this is my T-day post, thanks to our altered book lover, Elizabeth and the handsome Bluebeard who host and hostess T Stands for Tuesday.

What's in your cup?
