Amy and Sophie stayed clear of the boys and had their own "games" they played! :-) Watch out for these two in years to come!!!

After a fun afternoon we headed home. We had barely walked in the door when Tyler burst into tears complaining of a headache and sore throat. So it was off to bed for him - and back to hibernation for us. At least we were able to enjoy the sun while it lasted!!!

This last weekend we had a tea cocoa-party for Amy's sixth birthday. She invited a small amount of friends (along with a doll of choice to accompany them) to come over for a short respite from their weary days of childhood! :-)

Of course, every cocoa-party needs servers! Tyler and his friend, Steven, dressed up in their Sunday "duds" and prepared their finest manners to serve the ladies! Jelly sandwiches, crusted cheese toast, bagels with strawberry cream cheese, and several other choice tastes were on the menu.






There was a lot of giggling and silliness coming from the dining room. We tried to give the girls as much privacy as possible...only interrupting with the occasional "cocoa-spill-clean-up" crew. As it was, we did hear a smattering of conversations and they were so super sweet and girly!















When all the bellies were full, we played a rousing game of charades (hilarious with five and six year olds).
