A Manly Tea Party

In an effort to get to know the kids the buddies will attend school with in 2010, we have started a small neighborhood play group. This morning was our second play date and we have many more on the schedule in the coming months.

Ben came up with the theme for today's event. He said, "I know! How about we have a tea party with hot chocolate!" I like how he thinks! So, we donned our best tea party clothes, set up a table-clothed kid table, made pipe cleaner flowers, and got to work making dainty food. Ace made the mini blueberry muffins mostly by himself.

And then we discovered that none of our pretty girl neighbors could join us. Four wild boys sat around the table, sipping hot chocolate "tea" and eating finger sandwiches. And then they ran upstairs and happily played with trucks and trains.
