TEA CHESTS

Do any of you have tea chests? Worth it? Not? I don't know that it would work with my favorite teas because I'm guessing you would need tea that is sealed in pouches to keep the flavors from mingling....but it is nice to think of an organized way to store tea. LOL
Sunday

~Chapel things

~Buy Jamin new running shoes to alleviate shin splints

~Lunch

~I had to buy Arielle a skirt...she HATES wearing new clothes....she has ONE dress that she insists on wearing all the time...but I told her it would not work for the Nutcracker or the Christmas play next Sunday. She was a good sport. She had a shirt that is darling; we ran to Target and found a little black skirt. She was sweet. Turns out it is so hot in the civic auditorium that she COULD have worn her summer dress. ::snort:: (Notice Stacia's head in the corner of the 2nd picture...she shows up and preen whenever the camera is out. LOL)

~Arielle, Nolan, Jared and I usher for our city's production of The Nutrcacker. It was AWESOME. Many of the stars were homeschoolers and they all did an awesome job.

~After The Nutcracker we stopped by Target to buy baby gifts for two staff members who are registered with Target Baby service. THEN those who were there wanted to do their Christmas shopping - so we did.

~I used my LAST Taylors of Harrogate vanilla tea yesterday...so I ordered a box here....and then had to add 6 little tea pots. Don't you think it would be fun to have individual pots at a tea party? They were really cheap - $3.95 each.... Arielle really wants to have a tea party and she smiled her shy smile at me and I was a goner....maybe I'll wrap them and put them in her stocking or something. ::snort::

~It turns out the thing that one of my friends wanted at Target wasn't in the store...so I ordered online...but I found great little containers for staff/teacher etc Christmas gifts.....all in all a productive day.

~We're watching "Racing Stripes", better go join the children.
