Emma wanted to have a tea party tonight so we all obliged her. [Yes, we had to force Cooper to participate but he did - with bells on his toes...] Emma marches to the beat of her own drum [shocker there] so she already had this idea of how we would all look at the table - each of us had a hat. There was also "tea" and "fruit" [water and fruit snacks]. We had to speak in accents like we were actually at a tea party....things like, "I'll have a spot of tea" and "Oh my this is tasty" and "Polo later?" It was fun. Even Cooper had a good time. We decided to swith things up a bit and pass our hats to the right and be a new character. Here are a few of our pics:
Yes...we are cultural here at the Short house - and this tea party was no exception.
We accept all kinds at our tea parties...even thugs [or wannabe thugs].
Craig had the pinky thing down pat [Which is extremely scary on many levels....maybe we need to talk] and he played the part well.
Our hostess with the mostest - Flossie herself rockin' this sweet Kentucky Derby meets 80s Hairband hat.
We didn't realize Paul Revere was going to show up. [He looks strangely like Craig...and the pinky gives it away.]
Then the dance party began. Emma wanted us to do the Cha Cha slide and Cupid Shuffle. Now you know if you say "dance" and "Craig" in the same sentence that something worth videotaping is going to happen....and it did. [Incidentally, Craig should get out more. He said, "I don't know how to Cha Cha Slide" to which Cooper answers, "Um Dad the song tells you what to do."]
As always, life as is tea and crumpets here at the Short house :)

I could not stop laughing. [And to think that I am the LUCKY woman who gets to live with this man. Really.] We did find that Craig does not listen to the words because he was doing the Cha Cha Craig or something bizarre. [He doesn't know I've posted this video. This is good stuff.]
We had so much fun. I hate to see the summer end. [I know there are several more weeks but it seems to be going by faster and faster.] I love nights like this when we are just together - all six of us - and nothing else matters.
As always, life as is tea and crumpets here at the Short house :)
