Tea for Three

Good morning. It was a busy week, with an even busier (but enjoyable) weekend. Monday was the funeral for my Great Aunt. I am quite fortunate my in laws were able to keep an eye on Mia while we payed our respects. As I and my cousins/brother/cousin's husband walked her to and from the church and burial grounds, I couldn't help but think of all the different family members I was a paul bearer for. So many relatives that I've seen pass. It was really nice seeing my Grandpa and Grandma's graves again. I miss them so much. After the funeral, Jill and I had to jet to work. Tuesday, Mia and I hung out with her friend Oliva and her brother. For the most part, they had  a lot of fun, but I swear I will NEVER let her wear sandals at parks that have wood chips AGAIN. Every 5 seconds she gets one in her feet. She wanted to go bear-foot but it made her feet dirty, so that was the end of that. 

Wednesday morning on a whim, we joined her friends Gracie and Hannah at the Hales Corner library to watch a magic show. On the way there Mia was explaining to me that "magic isn't real and everything that they do isn't real" Give me a break, kid. We met up with her long-time friends and they watched the show. Gracie sat up front making friends with all of the kids, and Mia and Hannah shared a chair together. She was astonished by the the different tricks and really liked it when he would make doves appear and his rabbit. She first said "BIRDS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE LIBRARY!!" It was fun. After, they gave the kids a small ice cream treat for coming. Later, we watched the last pre-season Chelsea game with my Dad. Such a bust. Fiorentina beat us with ease. Pre-season wise, Chelsea wasn't the best. We were able to beat Barca and PSG in PK's but that's about it. 

While playing outside Thursday with her tea set, Mia had an idea to have a tea party with her friends. I shared her idea with Jill and she took it to another level. We got her friends Gracie and Hannah confirmed to meet at the park Friday and tea would be served with little heart-shaped sandwiches made with nutella and red velvet, flower-shaped sandwiches some made with ham and cream cheese, the other cucumber and garden cream cheese and last but not least, they had little strawberry and creme cheese wraps. The tea was strawberry lemonade. The girl's mom brought a mini cake as well for the ladies all dressed fancy. It was very adorable and the girls had a great time. Friday evening, my half-bro and his two boys came to visit. I didn't see them, but Saturday we met up at my parent's house for lunch. I caught parts of the Chelsea vs Swansea game here and there, but from what I saw, the 2-2 draw was awful. Hoping for a better rest of the season. The kids ran around  the park in Hartland after lunch. Later, we had dinner at Mine and Jill's house followed by Chuck E Cheese arcade fun. It was a good time. Todd and his boys stayed the night, and had breakfast with us in the morning. Mia tried to keep the peace in the house, and every time they would run around her play-kitchen she'd grab her phone and say "911, YES THEY ARE MESSING UP MY KITCHEN PLEASE SEND THE POLICE AND FIRE TRUCKS THANK YOU!" The boys had fun playing with the animals, and left later in the morning for Michigan. 

That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
