Fairy Tea Party

Isabelle and her little friend planned a playdate that had a "fairy tea party" theme. I was informed that I was to get a cute cake, tea party food, and favors. They also wanted to make "fairy" boxes. I love that playdates have evolved to full on parties for two. But, I have to admit they are too cute in their pettiskirts and they had a blast.

Oliver being the mom

I thought it was cute cause he does his fake laugh, then yells upstairs to the girls, then gives Ben his food and shows him how to chew it. Hmmm he is very observant...I better watch myself :)

"Izzie"ism

Said while holding her hair straight up and out:
"I was so excited, my hair went ecstatic!"

"Allie"isms

I have been meaning to start writing down the funny things my kids say. I have bought journals and note pads and placed them around the house for easy access--yet I still haven't written them down. So...I am going to start blogging "Allie"isms and "Izzie"isms, and pretty soon there will even be "Ollie"isms. So, today we start with and "Allie"ism. Alexandra received a loaded bucket of art supplies for Christmas. Really the Christmas present was that I let her use the fingerpaints and glitter glues and every other horribly messy art supply. She also received a dry erase board that she can practice letters and numbers with. We were at "D" and she needed my help. I showed her how to do one and then talked her through the next one, "Start at the top a line down, now back to the top and curve around....good job". The curve must have reminded her of the "C" she completed earlier...because Allie's exasperated reply to the letter "D" was, "What a waste of C's."
