Poking through my pic folders I found another fun day worth sharing. On this spring day I had Sunny and Ruby (2 and 3 then) to keep occupied. For our outing we chose a walk to a neighborhood "park" that really just consists of a long stretch of grass edged by trees. We had a picnic and built a fairy house. Fairy houses are SO much fun and we make them wherever we go. Seriously. Fairy houses deserve their own entry. They are just little habitats made of bits of nature found in the immediate environment where you are building them. If you leave them there fairies will come and inhabit them at night. In return for the shelter, fairies gift us with good weather on days of parties and other important events.
Here's Sunny picnic'n on edamame, with the day's fairy house under construction in the background.
Ruby collects some good building materials.
The out-of-house DJ (ok ok Jared our daughter does need a haircut. I don't think I've posted a photo of her here yet where her poor little face is visible.)
After our time in the park we came home, had lunch and set about making a batch of mini cupcakes (is it apparent in this blog yet that we love wee things? We really do). The girls loved helping me make the cupcakes then iced themselves with frosting we made from confectioner's sugar, water and beet juice for color. We topped each one with a little candy ball. Cute! Days fly by with fun projects like this.
Back at home, frosting the cupcakes.
yum!
