Tuesday Teatime
In Bravewriter fashion, we have begun Tuesday Teatimes and they have proved to be HUGELY popular! We haven't missed a one so far.
Each Tuesday, someone (usually Daisy) volunteers to bake something and at 2pm, we set the table with a table cloth, flowers and the good china. I make the tea and everyone brings a poem to tea.
We serve the tea and snacks using our best manners and then, one at a time, we share the poem we've brought.
I gathered all of the poetry books we own (and which we've very seldom used in 15 years of homeschooling!) onto one shelf. One week, Banana Boy even wrote an original poem and brought it to share.
So, like never before, we are enjoying poetry on a regular basis. The kids enjoy choosing a poem to share. I get to share some of my favorites. We're sampling many different authors and types of poetry.
And the tea is good, too!

Well, what a neat idea. Definitely an advantage to having more children. :-) Parties with two -- me and Sprite are not nearly as fun. Maybe dad would jump in for tea?
Love the feminine pink dress!
