Tea Party.

I've been a bad, uncreative mom this summer.
I usually have plans, lists and goals. Imaginative play, walks around the neighborhood to see what we can find, and lots of crafts. Well I've been a dud of a mom. Busy with so many things yet it really weighs on my mind that I have been so laid back. So when little E layed out the blanket and said he was having a tea party I went with it.
I pulled out their plates and cups and he did the rest.
He's been doing tea parties for like a year now, we tried telling him girls had tea parties and boys had picnics. He looked sad.
To heck with it boys have tea parites too!!
But why can't I find a boyish tea set??
Well Ikea plates help and we don't use a tea kettle we use a water jug but E and Z don't care they love it.

Piggy waiting for a cup of tea from the jug....today's pretend tea was strawberry tea, E's favorite.




Since it was almost lunch time I cut up some turkey and cheese, placed some yogurt and crackers and let them go at it.



Bennett needed a refill.



A tea party isn't a tea party for Z without his spider-man. We ran out of plates Z said he could share.
See they even have napkins for their party....Star-Wars Napkins thanks to yours truly :)









Maybe tomorrow we can make some scented play-dough, they'd love that.

Boys can have tea parties too! Why not! I used to play with little cars and play marbles with the neighborhood kids.
It looks like you all had tons of fun. Makes me wish Dug was that age again. He doesn't like to play with me anymore unless it's scrabble (which I am terrible at).

Oh and you are so good at keeping up with your blog which Love to read. I have been terrible this summer. I need to update mine soon!

Really Jess, I feel like I've been slacking with the blog.

Yay for boy tea parties! Kasen's more into pretend coffee than tea, but you've given me a great idea. Thanks. :)

Boys are allowed to have tea parties! Nate has no choice when he comes over! And he actually gets a kick out of it!
