... Tea for Three

The Ls are SOOOO into "Playing Tea" right now. Ever since Pat gave Lulu her little Tea Set for x-mas we have been having tea parties every, singe day!

Winter has finally arrived and where we spent last week every afternoon playing at the park, soaking up the warm sun, this week it's somewhat more CILLY and we can't wait to race home and have some hot tea / coco and hang out near the heater.
For all Canadians reading this ... I know, I know 45 bellow with Windshield ... yes we are WIMPS!!!

Lulu was bussy all morning yesterday setting up the tea party for when L came home from school.
She washed the dishes, table, seats and floor (... all with the same cloth!!!), ate most of the food she was preparing and then made sure we had enough sugar and marshmallows.

When L came home we had a lovely Tea Party and a wonderful chat.

M: How was your day in school my love?
L: Good. Danny showed me his underpants.
M: ???? WHAT??? Did he get in trouble?
L: No, it was just me and him, nobody else saw it.
M: ???? WHATTT??? WHY did he show you his underpants when you were ALONE???
L: Mama, he has STAR WARS underpants, just like me! They are SOOOO cool!!! I want the same ones.
We sang the Star Wars song all during recess.
M: Ahhhhh .... thats nice! Thanks for sharing!

Jule, ich hoffe Du bemerkest den tollen Filz-Untersetzer! :)

Mama, ich habe den Kräutertee gemacht den Du geschickt hast (in dem zipblock bag). Der is SOOOOO GUT!!!!! Ich will MEHR!!!! Bitte :)

Oh and na-cousre no tea party is complete without pickles and M&Ms :)

... SKIPPING SCHOOL

My Lulu has not been wanting to go to school this week.

On Monday we FORGOT???
I am not sure what that happened there.
I was preparing materials for my PTA presentation and had to send a few emails and I kept thinking  "hm ... I am forgetting something???!!"
At 1:45 PM I realized that what I had forgotten was to drop off Lulu at school ... duuuuhhhhh!

Yesterday I told her " ... time to go to school ..." and she just gave me a HUGE hug, kissed me, told me she LOVES me and said "Can I PLEEEAAAASE stay with you today?!"
I totally fell for it :)

So instead of circle time (which she hates :) we skipped together to my Dr's appointment, picked up L from school and had a LONG play-date at the park with ls friends from school.

Pat said:
 "What? Are we just not going to school anymore?"
... and I could hear he was not too pleased ;(

My answer was simple:
"Look. This is my LAST year with Lulu at home. My last year where she will not get a Tardy Card or is required to be present.
My last year of just doing what we want and hanging out.
My last year (really just months) before she too will go to Elementary school and we'll have home work, reading tests, spelling tests .... and no more time for SKIPPING SCHOOL.
So we'll skip school as much as we want to NOW ... because now is the time!"

.... so we SKIPPED school and had SO MUCH FUN doing it!!!!

I LOVE MY Ls!!!
