Fairie Festival Spring 2010

It's Spring! Time for the annual Fairie Festival at the Greenwood School! We went last year and this year was just as much fun...except that we got there a little late and the face painting table was closed :( Mia still had loads of fun decorating a basket that she later used in the egg hunt. She blew bubbles, had a red Popsicle...red is her favorite color, ya know. Mia danced and played music with Mr Michael and had a cookie and tea at the Fairie Queen's Tea Party. At the end, Mia found 10 hidden eggs...some cascarones and some hard boiled. She ate a hard boiled on the spot. Lily chewed on her fairie wings, swiped a cookie, found an egg...that went straight to her mouth and ate a lot of grass. I think Daryl enjoys when his girls get dressed up and frolic around. He had a smile on his face the whole time. Oh, I finally got a chance to wear my huge blue butterfly wings....happiness. It was a lovely day.

The popsicle maker

While cruising around ikea, Mia and I found some cool popsicle molds. That afternoon, I cut up some fruit...watermelon, strawberries and pineapple. We got the juicer out, Mia set the molds up and put the fruit in the juicer. It was sticky. It was messy. It was FUN! Then we popped the popsicles in the freezer. I was amazed by her patience...she actually waited till after dinner to ask for one...and she shared with Daddy..in return, he showed her how to BITE into them. Ugh, my teeth ache just thinking about it! :)

Mia thought it would be a good idea to throw a lemon in the mix... banana break
super cool mix of strawberry and pineapple juices

The Biter!

concerned that the watermelon popsicles had separated into stripes ...got over it quickly :)
