Back To School Tea Party

This afternoon Gracie and I hosted one of our monthly "tea parties" for the other girls and their moms in the apartment. I decided since the older two would start school on Tuesday, what a great time to get together. We had snacks of goldfish crackers, and cool aid and other sweet treats including a cheesecake desert I made.

What made this "tea party' different was that I had crafts for the girls to do. Mom had given me some left over Bible School craft supplies and I let the girls decorate a wooden sign for their rooms. All three had a great time and had plenty of things to choose from: paint, markers, foam stickers, beads, construction paper, etc. Gracie especially loved the paint, but it was the scissors I had put out for the older girls that fascinated her. You'll see by the picture above that I helped Gracie use the scissors for the first time. She had a blast. I put my fingers through the holes and she pushed them together, apart, together...you get the idea. You could tell she was very proud.

We are looking forward to next month's get together. I have decided on a Teddy Bear Tea Party!

**My neighbor Colette was nice enough to snap this picture of me helping Gracie cut her paper. It is a good one me, so I am ecstatic!**
