At the 5th grade they have a good manners tea each year. The children practice there manners and how to small talk all month and then the parents dress up in white shirts and black pants and serve the children. The kids go two classrooms at a time and get to spend the first half with their friends and the last half they must introduce theirselves and small talk with children from the other class. The kids get really excited about the clothes they are going to wear and what their friends will be wearing. I took Astrid and let her pick out a whole new outfit and Erin thought it was a waste. But I had taken her other dress clothes to school for the counselor to let the girls who did not have any have to wear to the tea. It was all in good fun and I enjoyed it.
Gigi came and visited Astrid while she was there.
The blonde with Astrid is Eleanor and her mom is Astrid's pediatrician. Very sweet girl and she thinks it is such an adventure to come to our house. The dark headed girl is Alyssa, Astrid's closest friend and she is BIG time tomboy. This was such a stretch for her to wear pants and a sweater. She would not let her ponytail down though.

clayton says shes lined up like a choo choo train. we think she's pretty. that sure was nice of her to loan her clothes.... especially for a new outfit!
Astrid is not stupid. I would loan my clothes to if I could get a new outfit. Remember I used all the walnut money for me an outfit and said Fleta could wear it too since there was no money for her an outfit after I blew it all.
