Oh so fancy!

My girls are really into Fancy Nancy ... if you've never seen these books, you have to check them out. Little girls are bound to fall in love with Nancy ... who loves everything in her life to be fancy!
So take an otherwise boring afternoon, with everyone feeling blah, and nothing to do ... Daddy is gone to work, so it's just us girls. Mommy doesn't really feel like 'cooking' since it's just me and the girls ...

Then comes the brilliant idea to have a fancy tea party dinner! I told the girls to go dress up any way they wanted, I made heart shaped PB & J sandwiches, apple and banana slices, and cucumber slices. Then we had cranberry juice served in my fancy china tea cups and all the food served on my good china. And for dessert, little lemon cakes (the girls thought they were fancy, they didn't need to know they were actually weight watchers dessert cakes!)

I set the table with a fancy tablecloth and candles, then put all the food out and invited the girls to join me in our fancy restaurant ... Oh, and I dressed up fancy too with a scarf, fancy shawl, glittery top and dangly earrings ... who cared if I matched, the girls thought it was fancy!

We had so much fun! The girls really enjoyed our little fancy tea party! I am thinking that we really need to make this a weekly tradition, perhaps I could surprise them by doing it once a week on a day when they aren't expecting it at all!
