Last bookclub, first tea...

Here are some pics from our last book club for the year. This guy, to the right, is one of my favs! He calls me the "candy lady" or "pretzel lady", I don't remember exactly. I'm sure my "stalker" can correct me. :)

Book club had some glitches this month. I hate it because it was the last one. We were missing three families (two with six children each, four-teen total) which makes a HUGE difference. Well, the hard part for me was one of the ladies was going to do story time for the little ones, so I was rushing around trying to find a few books to read about half-an-hour before, but everything turned out fine. I'm not nearly as fun as the other moms when it comes to story time; I read. I'm not so artsy/craftsy nor am I good at creating games, so I read. They survive.

Julia did the "big kids" group today and it looked like they had a ball! It was something like Wheel-of-Fortune kind of. They had to answer a question about the book and if they got it right they could pick a letter to fill in on "the board". "The board" was a paragraph from the book. (See artsy/craftsy.) LOL

We also found out today that Wendy E. is pregnant! I am excited for her though I'm not sure that completely came across today. I do love babies, but I'm a little nervous about getting pregnant again (no, I'm not trying). After, three-and-a-half years away from diapers I'm not sure I want to go back to them. But I'm very happy for Wendy!

Wendy E. also brought Amish Friendship Bread starter. I'm sure I'll kill it before Friday, but we'll see what happens. It already smells delicious!

Tonight was the night. Our first tea. It was nice. We had a chance to sit and talk and it was soo peaceful. We turned on a "new age" station which was very relaxing. The four of us around a table simply talking and enjoying each others company. And to top it off the girls actually enjoyed the tea (English Afternoon, yes, its a black tea Julia). Anyway, I look forward to next week when we can do it again.
