waiting for rain

Today, my girl wore her rain boots around all day just waiting for the big rain we promised her last night.  The rain never came last night and I had told her that it may rain later today.  Well, after nap-time, the rain came.  It was only a drizzle but it was enough to make the tiniest puddles for boots to stomp in.  She was delighted and stayed outside stomping in the cold rain until we insisted that she come inside.  It is so funny how little bodies never seem to notice the temperature (hot or cold) when they are enjoying the outdoors.

a royal day indeed...

My kids were so captivated by the royal wedding, we decided to have a royal tea of our own...4-year-old style.
Royal attire was donned.


Royal iced tea and canapés were prepared.  
{Hot Warm tea was quickly banned by the big girl who was afraid of burning her tongue.}

The table was set and girls were giddy to partake in a most royal tea.

Tea was carefully poured by "her majesty."

Everyone drank from tea cups for a change...not sippy cups.

Tea was followed by a highly civilized royal dance with twirls and a final curtsey.
