Tea, Hats, and a Royal Wedding

We are tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired! Or as Nandi likes to say, "Ti-rud!"

We had our little Royal Wedding Tea Party with the kids last night. Nandi decorated our hats all by herself. We were pretty impressed.

What do you think?

Eli didn't want to be left out, so he strapped a pink flamingo to an old baseball hat.

heehee

And Sim managed to find an old cowboy hat.

Noah's not much of a hat wearer... but he did promptly eat "Princess Catherine's sapphire engagement ring"... aka a ring pop which left his lips a ghoulish dark blue.

We served cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, scones with currants, strawberries and cream, fish and chips, and a nice pot of tea.









We tried three different dresses on our William and Kate paper dolls.

Eli colored a pictures of the "official engagement portrait".

Sim unwrapped the various pieces of china he brought over from England....



And we woke up just in time to watch Kate step out of the car in her gawgeous! wedding gown.

She looked beautiful.

We gathered all the kids in bed, drank tea, and finished up last night's scones.

And then Eli turns to me and says, "Marriage looks boring. I think I'll skip it."

Spoken like a true 7 year old!

The Answer to Noah's Shirt Chewing...

NOTE: If you came across this page by googling "Shirt Chewing", please click here for the most recent post on Noah's shirt chewing. Thanks! Sugar. Who knew that five little letters could wreck such havoc? As I've mentioned before, Noah has a terrible shirt chewing habit. I can't quite remember when it all started, but we all noticed that it STOPPED completely when we were in Austin. The only thing that was really different was his diet - since we were living out of a hotel for a week. When we got home, we racked our brains to figure out what it was.... what food triggered Noah' s shirt chewing. We were home about 2 days when Noah started chewing again. Agave Nectar. Sim had put agave nectar on Noah's waffles. We took the agave nectar out of his diet and the next day, the chewing decreased. A few days later, I gave him a peanut butter and jelly rice cake. He started shirt chewing. It had to have been the jelly.. which goes to show that just because it's

Acceptance and Moving Forward

It's been so long since I posted here. I wasn't even sure that I would remember my password. And, actually, I really haven't planned anything to write out, but I just had this overwhelming urge to post today. Maybe so that I can look back on this post next year and see how far we've come, I'm not sure. But here we are... and here I am.... 2016 was a challenge. Not just for our family, but for everyone it seems. I look around and 2016 just seems to be a year of hurt. It was a tough year on so many levels.  A little over a year ago, on December 23, 2015, we were told that my husband most likely had a certain lung condition that gave him only three years to live. We are so fortunate that it was NOT what they thought, but it led us straight into 2016 full of fear and despair.... feelings which continue all the way through today.... and may lead into 2017. To condense a very long story that's full of grief and misdiagnoses and full on panic attacks (for me), I wi

Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!!! I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?" And he said, "Iduvumum" Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?" And he said, "Esssss" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie." This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus). Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
