tea party. no, not the band.

it's funny how every little girl - at least out of my nieces - seems to be inevitably and irresistably drawn to the idea of a tea party.  my kid is no exception.  out of a nesting frenzy, i put together a dresser for her room and somehow ended up moving all the furniture around, washing all her linens, and arranging things in a more play-friendly manner.

of course, the first thing she did was pull out all of the tea party supplies that she owns (thank GOD she is one of the last children and has a plethora of hand-me-down pink plastic teacups and pots) and set up her little "friends" around the table.  and now, two weeks later, we are still playing with the same tea party configuration.  she now loves her room even more. 

funny enough, i now want to make her room even more kid-friendly - pictures, prints, decals, maybe some more tea party chairs.  say goodbye to our budget.

(oh, and i found a blackberry app that gets a similar results as the iPhone instamatic app. make sure you download the add-on package that includes the "memories" filter.  thank you, blackberry gods!)
