Yesterday, she showed me the fairy land she built in the empty lots across the street from us. She also told me about her future expansion plans for the fairies' home and hoped that they would like it one day.
So....I got to work last night building a fairy "kit".
And while she was at school, we got busy leaving treasures for Charlie to find in the boy fairy area....
the girl fairy area...
(she made the leaf beds)
leading to her front porch...
and on the front porch....
I watched from the office window as she discovered the surprises in the fairy land. She was jumping up and down and screaming for her dad who was on his way over to see (he helped her build the land a couple of days ago).
Malcolm's over there helping her dad dig out the backyard and when I went over...she came running to me, showing me everything. She told me that she knew the fairies had really come because they had left behind fairy dust.
Her dad told her, "see...you should always believe in your dreams."
Swooooooon.
