Tea for Two

So here you have it.  A glimpse into party planning mode.  Does this not look like part of your normal party planning experience?  Well, in mine, it is quite necessary.  In getting ready for the twins 4th birthday party (can you guess the theme?), I decided a photo shoot was in order as to add to the decor of the party.  So, I brought two very excited girls, and a ton of crap up to our local park. It was about 10am and 90 degrees.  I walked them to the area under a tree for optimal shade, so that they wouldn't screech and cry about it being too bright, and so that when I ran back and forth to my car to get all the "necessary props", I wouldn't sweat too much, too quickly.  Thankfully, we were only there with a handful of others, who at one point, started to ooh and ahh, when I got the girls all gussied up.  I took pictures, but wanted them to be candids...of course with all previous photo shoots, I scream and holler for everyone to look at me, so they got a little confused, but a serving of cookies and apple juice helped distract them from paying any attention to me and I happily clicked away.  They were very cute, and like the old biddy's they are (they are truly old souls), they commented on the weather and what a nice day for a tea party.  Only twice did Lainey ask me for "hot coffee, please".  (No, she has never had it, but asks constantly....4 going on 72).    There are a bunch more that I will share after the party, but wanted to give all those who are reading my blog, a sneak peek!!   Have a great night!
