Tea Party Manipulation

January 23, 2015 Uncategorized 2 Comments

Sophiapea is leaning against the counter, watching me as I unload the dishes.
“Mommy, what are you doing?”
“Just unloading the dishes, baby. What are you doing?”
“Yes! Say I”
I look at her, wondering what new trick she’s up to, but I repeat after her anyways. “I…”
“Will…” She chirps on, a wide smile blossoming on her face.
“Will…” I repeat.
“Do dat! Say do dat! Say I will do dat!”

“Have a tea party!” She squeals, almost jumping up and down with excitement.
What do you say to that?!?

Welcome to Minding My Peas

I’m Elizabeth, wife of superman and mother to my four little peas. We’re on a quest to pay off our second house, travel as a family, and spread the feast of a living education for our children.  I’m obsessed with books, budgets, chocolate, and learning new things.  Right here is where I’m trying to record the story of this life. Welcome!
