Rainy Day Tea Party

Dylan asked me about two months ago, if we could have a tea party. It was while we were preparing for Eva's birthday, and super busy.  So today, I made good on the promise for "another day."  

Now, we go all out for our tea parties.  First, the grocery store.  Yeah, they're not cheap.  We pick out all kinds of munchies.  First the ninos wanted soup.  Okay.  And a bread bowl.  Oookay...

We also got a ton of fruit and cookies of course.  We already had our blueberry pomegranate SLEEPYTIME tea, (not an accident).

When we got home, Eva went to the basement and started pulling out all the tea party dishes.  Then Dylan began to wash them.  

As I put the food out and the music on, Dyleva went and got dressed up for the party, (Dylan was a Fixer-guy, Eva, a princess) and got their babies to join them.  
We discovered neither child likes dried apricots, even though I got "Mommy pleeeaaasssee!" in the store.  They ate everything else.  It was a beautiful rainy day.

Dyleva spent the rest of the day in this kick-ass fort we built together that spanned the entire living room.  They temporarily moved in.    Most of the time they were very sweet to each other, hiding in a different part of the fort, and sharing their toys with each other.  That took a lot longer to clean up than the tea party....but it kept them quiet.
