Tea Party





Comments heard during today's Tea Party...

After the initial sharp intake of breath as they rounded the corner, "LOOK, ANA!!!"

(Keep in mind, I had told them to dress up as best they could.)

(Excitedly) "Mom, is this sugar?"

"Barley, GET AWAY!"

"Oops."

"Mmmm."

"Can you spread some peanut butter on this please, ma'am?"

"Oh no! Gross! Wait, no, it tastes good!" (Referring to a dropping of the cream pitcher, and the mixing of peanut butter and sugar into the "tea" - at this point I felt the tea party was very nearly over...)

"Mom, it's ok if we spill stuff, right?"

Me: "Now, that's not proper at a Tea Party." (Referring to the tall stacking of the tea cups and saucers, the peanut butter in the tea cups, and the brief spat over not sharing the last of the "tea".)

And my favorite: "Hey, Mom, you're our servant."

Comments

  1. I love the servant comment. Thomas doesn't need to make comments like that because everyone knows that my sole purpose on earth is to serve him and only him right? This explains the meltdowns he has when I don't attend his every need at the drop of a hat. Your girls are too cute...give us a call sometime when Matt is at work. Thomas LOVES playing with your girls.

  3. Oh man Laura - I hope they don't grow up thinking peanut butter really goes in tea cups. I've been dying to take Zara to tea at my favorite tea house, but just haven't got around to it. Maybe if you guys really do come out we could take the girls together?

    P.S. Haley's outfit is cracking me up - houndstooth with polka dots - awesome!

Name Ideas Please

Exercising with Dad and enjoying her mini slinky. Ok, some of you had some, uh, interesting name choices for our new little one. We will have an ultrasound before Christmas, so then we can start narrowing it down, but does anyone have some REAL ideas? We like short uncomplicated names with meaning. We don't like names that remind us of lousy people or strange celebrities, and none of those weird new names that people our age are naming their kids, like "Christman" or something. (That is a real name - I know a little girl AND a little boy named that. It is pronounced like Christmas, only not.) So yeah, give us some ideas. Does anyone like "Paul"? Is that too old sounding? What about Ana for a girl? Hmmm...

GRAND PRIZE

Ok, we decided - if we pick the name you suggested, you will receive... 1) an autographed portrait of Haley (we realize that isn't very relevant, but we have some extras - ha ha!) 2) the honor of setting up a trust fund for the new baby, minimum starting amount $500 3) a call on the first day the new baby says his/her name 4) a shout out on the BLOG!!! YESSSSS!!! We are of course extremely generous - please don't be astounded by the magnitude of these prizes. Good luck everyone!!

Baby Names

Just in case it is a girl, which we are actually pretty sure it will be, here are some options we are thinking about - let us know what you think. These are our top five. 1) Maude 2) Hortense 3) Magda 4) Dorcas 5) Zipporah
