Mimi gave the girls a "build your own fairy house" kit for Christmas. Here's the best part: It came with a glue gun!
Every Saturday night, we have an hour of "special time." One of the girls (it alternates) picks an activity and we all participate with as few rules as possible. The hands-down favorite activity is watching a movie. But! On this particular Saturday night, Chandler chose to do something different! She chose to construct the fairy house. I was completely pleased.
The kit came with an amazing amount of stuff: shells, pine cones, seed pods, (fake) moss. And we had a fair bit of shells hanging around the house. It was impressive.
The results were none too shabby. I'd really love to bring the fairy house to Maine, so the girls can continue working on it. I'm not at all sure it would survive time in the trunk with suitcases though. I will work on a strategy. Here's hoping for a fairy palace before they are through.
