Tea Party and Paper Making

We had lunch outside today. I was going to serve them in the playhouse, but they chose to sit out in the sun instead.

Katie and Eden planned an elegant teaparty in the afternoon. They set up and decorated in the kitchen, and then helped Orianna and Josephine to dress up for the event.

Here Katie brings everyone in for the teaparty.

Each place setting was labeled, and Cheerios were served on pretty ceramic plates while tea (water) was poured into tiny little teacups.

While the older kids enjoyed their teaparty in the kitchen . . .

. . . Ria enjoyed free reign in the rest of the house. She pulled up using this chair and used it as a walker to make her way across the room.

Later on, Ryan set up the clothesline and built himself a little one-man fort.

We had our second ever paper making event today. Last time we made white paper, but this time the kids chose pink, so they ripped up all the white, red, and pink scraps we had. It turned out beautiful. Later, Eden and Katie decided to change the color and added more white and yellow, making a pretty salmon color.

Here Katie adds a finishing touch of gold glitter onto her newly formed and still wet paper.
