Fairy Garden

Within minutes of getting home from Firefly forest, the girls were in a tizzy trying to build their fairy garden!

To start with we planted leftover flowers from Abby's birthday party. They wanted a swing and a house so we (mostly I) made it out of sticks. They wanted the fairies to have toys so they found a small pot and put circle beads (for balls) and small hair ties (fairy hula hoops) in it, they made a stage for the fairies to sing and dance on, made a slide out of a shell, decorated a special tin for each of them, and made a bed, snuggle toy, couch, chair and table out of shells. Then they made a walkway using beads.

The girls are 110% believers in fairies and truly believe they have been to our garden. I might have encouraged it by putting glitter in different spots at night for them to find in the morning, or messing with the toys for them to clean up in the morning. They run out to the garden when they wake up, after nap and after we get home from any trip out of the house. They are obsessed and really worried the goblins are going to come :) They have even written signs that say "No Blasting Magic," "Fairies Only," and "No Goblins Allowed." It is pretty cool....

 As we built, Abby just looked cute

 And played with balloons left over from her birthday party

 And then later we saddled up and went to the pool :)

We love our fairy garden :)
