Cousin L had a birthday awhile ago and because it was on a Saturday and Papa, because of the extreme cold, had to take the T-all to work as the car actually froze solid in the -38C weather we had earlier that week, we couldn't go. Then Grandma called. She was going and she offered to take J and L with her. So we quickly got some lunch and then ready to go. They had a blast and got to go bowling for the 1st time ever!
SO while the boys were off with Grandma, J3 and Baby G sleeping, E and R and I had some fun!! I asked them what they wanted to do and they both yelled, "BATTLESHIP ON YOUR IPAD!!!" Ok so I shared my ipad2 and let them play a couple of games of battleship on my app. While they were busy I cooked up an idea..
Yup we had a Tea Party :)
Chocolate Milk, cookies, goodies Grandma had brought them, marshmallows and chocolate chips :)
The kids love Tea Parties and they love to use LOTS of play dishes :) They also all like to have their own 'pot' so we each had our own teapot full of chocolate milk. To make it extra special we lite a candle. We had fun and I was surprised how good the girls conversational skills were. We talked a bit about manners and being a good hostess. E really has wonderful instincts at being a good hostess.. I have no idea where she got them from as I have NONE! Maybe next time we have company I'll ask her what I should do :) I love to watch my children mature and grow and I love that they surprise me and outdo even what I expect from them. I guess we really are a family of overachievers :)
