Please "Where" Your Finest Dress

Sunday Amelia asked me to help her make tea party invitations. We found a teacup shape, traced the shape and cut the shape out. Amelia did the rest on her own. She decorated the invites on her own. We delivered them Wednesday afternoon. Amelia sure loves her tea parties. She asked Justin very politely if she could use his tea china. He was gracious and let her use the set outside. Amelia helped me make cookies Thursday morning. We made snickerdoodles and peanut butter cookies. The tea was cherry limeade. Before her friends came over I asked what she had planned for the boys. I suggested we put a movie on for them to keep them out of the way. Amelia said she needed the boys for entertainment. The boys were supposed to dance and make the girls laugh. Phillip tried his hand at entertaining. He ended up grossing the girls out so much they banished him. He unrolled the carpet with his burping, farting, and spitting tricks. I think Amelia had more genteel expectations for entertainment. We pulled out the bounce house after the tea party finished. The girls finished up with sidewalk chalk painting. These little tea parties are so much fun and not much work.
