You would have been welcomed by:
Alice, insisting you join her for a cup of tea…
…or a seat by the river.
The toothless Mad Hatter
And Her Royal Highness, the Queen of Hearts (who happens to be more sweet than sinister).
They all love a good tea party…
…and a little candy to go along with it!
“I am so glad we live in a world where there are Octobers.” ~Anne of Green Gables.
I love that quote, and I love the month of October. Here’s what we have been up to during the beautiful and busy month of October.
*A hayride at the arboretum
*Meeting Beth Moore (she was standing in line with us to check into the hotel) at the MOPS convention… and the 70s-themed “mom prom” on the last night.
*A trip to visit Grandpa and Grandma (while I was at the MOPS convention)
* No October would be complete without lots of pumpkins!
* A quick road trip to Iowa to see both of my brothers and their families and to celebrate my sister-in-law’s 30th birthday. We spent a night at a hotel with a waterslide on the way there. It was great to meet up with my family for a few days. The cousins loved playing together!
* Unfortunately our quick trip was cut short due to Emily not feeling well and having a hard time breathing. We decided to leave early to get back to our own hospital. We drove almost straight to the ER, and Emily ended up getting admitted with a short stay until her breathing returned to normal. Lots of pokes, pricks, and x-rays though. No fun! Thankfully the hospital stay was relatively short and she is feeling much better now.
