Today, we worked on a Fairy Garden. We went to Home Depot and purchased several succulents and ivy…and Lyla and Cade insisted that they also needed to include a cactus each. Lyla said that she wanted to make the garden ready for any desert fairies that might appear.
She was very serious about her work and wants everything to be just so so:
The finished product - Cade’s green cactus is on the left, and Lyla’s purple is on the right. She says that the ivy will provide a wall for the fairies to fly into the pot as they might needs some shelter from the rain.
Cade, on the other hand, was not so committed to a perfect Fairy Garden, much to Lyla’s consternation. He prefers to throw the shells and rocks as opposed to creating a staircase for the fairies, like his sister wants. He finally opted to go his own way:
In other news around here, we are frantically trying to help Lyla mend her injured toe in time for our trip to Myrtle Beach. She spends quiet time with her toe “exposed” trying to give it some air with no bandage. We’re hopeful that it will be mended by the time we leave so swimming time won’t be affected. What a week it’s been around here! We’ve dealt Daddy’s tailbone and Lyla’s toe, and….Mommy had to have a tooth extracted earlier this week!
Here’s to hoping things calm down in time for vacation! PLEASE!!!
