Yesterday morning we woke up to a bit of snow. Snow! The snow then turned to rain and drizzle- all day long. When I picked the children up from school this afternoon, Grace was a little down. I think a little bit of it was the rain and a lot of it was that she was missing her Dad who has been out of town (not for long, but long enough for her!).
We decided that an indoor rainy day tea party/picnic was in order! Using our
tea book we came up with a few ideas and then got busy in the kitchen.
Rainy Day Menu
Cloud Cookies
Sunshiny Drizzle Cake
Mudcakes
Mudslides (hot cocoa)
Grace and Harris made the cloud cookies and mudcakes and I made the
lemon pound cake, which was
very easy and
very tasty! From start to finish the prep took about 30 to 40 minutes, but everything did require some cooking or chilling time.
At the last minute I decided that a rainy day tea party should include a rainbow. Luckily, I had leftover Twizzlers from St. Patrick's Day!
I didn't get any pictures of the children and I enjoying our picnic except for this one of Harris. I made a concerted effort to put the camera down and be present for our party!
