Gillian had a friend over last Friday. Her friend, Natalie, brought her secret fairy handbook which contained many fun activities. They worked hard on their fairy garden. The first picture is before the final creation.
And just when I thought it couldn't get any cuter they had strung up paper lanterns, made clay seats and all sorts of fun things for fairies. I love the creativity. It sits outside our front window on the ledge and has been rained upon causing the marker sign to run. I don't have the heart to take it down.
Gillian also found a recipe for fancy fairy juice in the handbook.
In other news, we got new carpets. Wow, that was a big deal. We really needed them. It was interesting getting all the furniture into one room and then shifting it around. It's been about 3 weeks and I'm still putting stuff back.
Somehow I got everyone's stuff from their rooms into my
room while the rest of the upstairs was carpeted.
Drew turned 11! Such a beautiful young lady. And she's been complaining that she can't see very well. So after a trip to the eye doctor we were told that she just needed a slight prescription, not much. She was very excited to get glasses. That lasted for about a day after she got them and decided that she sees better without them. Good thing I spent time and money on that! She looks cute in them though.
Drew was served breakfast in bed for her big day.
And finally.... My real midlife crisis has arrived. Gavin shaved for the first time today. Sniff sniff. I got him an electric razor (he doesn't need zits AND nicks) and after his shower he came out with a smooth face. No more peach fuzz. I just don't know what to think about it all.
