Fairy Houses

The onset of spring and warm weather had the girls in full blown fairy house-making mode the last few weeks.  The spent countless hours working on the houses in our yard and even got some of their friends to make them in the grass and playground area around the school.  On the first day of Spring, I asked the girls if the fairies had arrived yet and they advised me "not yet" and they knew this because they had not left the girls a sign.  Once the girls were in bed, Lee went outside (wearing his headlamp, as it was quite dark) and painted suns and flowers on all of the trees that had fairy houses - he is such an aweome dad!!  They were beyond excited the next day when they saw the signs that the fairies had indeed arrived.

A fairy compound.

Elizabeth is very much into the construction of these houses and the things around them.
