We read a lot of Fancy Nancy. I think she’s marvelous. That’s fancy for quite enjoyable. A tea party, a real one, with actual tea, would be something Fancy Nancy would do. Figured this would be a good thing for a rainy day. It’s been raining a lot lately.

Kid’s plate: baby carrots, turkey/croissant mini sandwich, grapes, olives, apple slices, Babybel, multigrain wheat thins. Minty hot cocoa.
My plate: quick chicken salad/cucumber and croissant sandwiches, grapes, carrots, apples. English breakfast tea.

We spent tea time talking about books we’d read (Fancy Nancy and the Delectable Cupcakes) and movies we’d seen (Mr. Peabody and Sherman, for her). We ate with our pinkies extended. She spilled cocoa on her ruffle skirt. Everything was delectable.
