And Suddenly There Came a Noise

We have gotten into the habit of having an afternoon tea time around here. After rest time each day, the kids get a little snack and a cup of tea (or vanilla milk for Lucian... he's slowly coming around to tea), and we sit at the table and chat. It started out as just snack time, but since I often drink a cup of tea in the afternoons, the boys decided they wanted in on the action. Max drinks any kind of tea, but the favorite so far has been Black Cherry Berry from Celestial Seasonings.

Now don't we sound refined?

Last Sunday afternoon, Paul sat down with his cup of coffee to join us for tea time. Suddenly I began to hear some rude noises coming from his general direction. Everyone got the giggles as Paul revealed the jar of "Noise Putty" that he had been hiding under the table. From whence did this treasure come? None other than Auntie Monica and Uncle Glenn, thank you very much. It is a favorite toy around here, and in the right hands at the right moment it breaks up any threat of too much culture. Our dignified tea time? De-nied!

Waaaay cooler than tea, Mom.
