Anything But Gray

Jaime has a tea set that she has had since she was itty bitty.  Once in awhile the kids will pull it out and play with it, but they like to use water and they spill it almost every friggin' time. So last time they did this, I told them they weren't allowed to use real water with it anymore. 

Last night I was outside on the phone with J and Jaime came and asked me if they played with the tea set in the dining room, could they use real water. I said, sure.  And frankly, it had been so long since they last played with the tea set,  I'm amazed they remembered that I didn't want them using real water with it.  lol

So they start playing and I continue my conversation.  I got inside after a few minutes and Ben says to me "Mommy, would you like to join us for our tea party?"  No joke…he said it just like that. Cutest. Thing. Ever.

So I say "of course!" and I tell J that I have to go because I have a tea party to go to.  

And I sat down and had a tea party with my babies….they even went downstairs and got Nana nd she came, too.  It was so awesome! We were telling the kids how that in England, they have "tea" every day and my mom told the kids how her grandmother (who came to the US from England) used to have tea every day.  She was showing them how they had to drink the tea with their pinky fingers lifted up, in an ever so dainty manner. LOL 

I told the kids that maybe we could start our own tradition. I would keep an eye out for a real tea set and maybe we would have hot chocolate every day after school.  So now I am on the hunt for a tea set. LOL  I'm exited though, I think they will love that!!

After tea, they decided they were going to dress up like "olden day" people to have their tea…

I helped them find some stuff to use and got some pictures…..so cute!!!

Pics not the best quality…I gotta adjust my settings on my phone, but you get the idea.
