Return to Wonderland

It took so much work to put up wonderland in my

basement, I wantedto play in it as long as I could.

I had all the little girls (and adult girls) in the family

over for tea. My mom brought some dress ups for

the lil ones. I dressed up as the white and had everyone

follow me down the rabbit hole. I cant tell you how

fun it was to see how magical the girls thought the

rabbit hole was.

I cooked up some more tea treats to

go along with what was left over from the earlier

wonderland party. I picked up some different

drink me bottles at Walmart (loved this find) and

filled them with different flavors of poweraid. (instead

of different flavors of full throttle). The poweraid

provided such perfect colors. I made more eat me cookies

(they werent as artistic as I wanted them to be....I was

tending that morning and did my cooking in between

playing with playdough and cleaning up the playroom.)

But everyone loved the leftover sangira and peach herbal

iced tea (Nora drank two teapots full.... as well as countless

drink me bottles of "drink me potion")

We had alice, the mad hatter, and the door mouse present.

After lunch we colored alice in wonderland coloring

pages, watched Disney's Alice in Wonderland, and made

ribbon roses in the garden room. I remember making

countless roses like these out of my moms ribbon as a

little girl....I must have wasted a majority of my moms

wrapping ribbon when I wanted to fill a basket full of

ribbon roses so I would look like Eliza Doolittle.

We made a crown of roses with all the extras. So beautiful.

It was the first time seeing the movie for all the little

girls and they got into it so much Nora and Audrey

had to change and become white rabbits.

Ahh wonderland is so fun but now after two parties

I think I need to take it down and commence with

normal life.
