Fairy Day

For Emma's special day this summer, she chose "Fairy Day." For a while we really thought it was going to be "ballet day" but once she realized we couldn't do both, Fairies won.  She is a big fan of the Disney Fairies and helped us each pick characters for ourselves.  I was Tinkerbell (easy to just wear green with wings of course).  Everyone was a good sport, which is saying a lot since we have a house full of boys who were going to be wearing wings...

While I was reading off names and information about the boy fairies (or some are called Sparrow Men), Lucas chimed in and kept repeating "Bobble" so that was his character.  We thought he made a great Bobble!

 Samuel knew all along that he wanted to be Terrence, the one who hands out the vitally important PIXIE DUST to all the fairies so they can do magic, and so they can fly!  Here he is holding some pixie dust (glitter)!

 Emma was Silvermist, her most favorite fairy of all!

 Nathan was glad I found out about a new addition to Pixie Hollow- a Sparrow Man named Slate.  He seems pretty cool.

We didn't have a Fairy cookbook so I just came up with a few fairy-ish additions to our regular meals.  Emma was quite happy with that.  For breakfast, we had Fairy Toadstools and grass.

Silvermist is a water-talent fairy whose job is, among other things, to put the dewdrops on spider webs...

We thought we would create our own spider web out of yarn so Emma could really be Silvermist (Samuel & Nathan enjoying spraying the web with water also).

 She later decided that cotton balls would also make good dewdrops.  They were a little hard to balance though

 I love this picture of Emma straightening Samuel's wings...

We had fun visitors too!  Two fairies, a Toadstool, and a Pirate with wings!

Lunch included butterfly sandwiches, and fairy juice to drink.

A very special visitor came as we were finishing lunch.  Grandma Olden Fairy read the kids several fairy poems...

Dinner wasn't all fairy, but we did have Fairy Fruit Kabobs and a fairy jelly for dessert!

Emma said she was Fairy Happy!
