"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Summer Fun

Kelly started this little Fairy Garden with Erika.  They've been working on it nonstop.  It's been so fun to hear about and look at.  My favorite part is that they are totally bonding in the process :).  This little fairy leaves notes for Erika, telling her what she's left for her and thanking her for new things she's added.  It's totally cute!  Noah's even been in on it a little.  The thing that really got me was when Kelly used her birthday gift card at Michaels to buy more fairy garden stuff for Erika :).  Pretty cool.
Picture of Erika that the fairy gave her.


butterflies she gave Erika a LONG time ago, bench in between, trains are the things they put in there to hold stuff, and we put a flower in there and some more stuff.  That house Kelly got and we painted and put in there when we were going to make this.  Kelly had the idea to make a mailbox.  

This is something we put in there to welcome back to the fairy house.  Kelly thought of the mushrooms.  The chair, Kelly thought of putting in there, but I thought of putting in the table and we put in the plates and food.  Some of that is the fairy dust.

The white box is the mailbox, and this is the mushroom, I don't know why Kelly put it there :), A and B on the house because her name is Annabelle.  

That's the bed we put in there.  And the polka dots she put in there for us.  THey gave me fairy brownies with a ribbon on it.  That rock we put there.  Those were like some petals, and then there's the bench.

Those are some paper hearts that I put in there because I thought it would look good and it does.  She's an animal fairy.  That's the sign.  Kelly thought of putting those as the signs.  


More fairy dust.  The path to the welcome.  If you look really close you can see the beads.  We're going to put little flowers on the side.


Oh this one's great!!  That's a frozen man that was in Kelly's garden but she let me use it.  That's teh doorbell, and we found the perfect spot for it.  And that's the house, it's wooden, but I just painted it yellow and orange.  There's the container for watering it.



Then of course the Lemonade/Snowcone stand.  I let Erika take the camera out to take pictures for me- I love to see what the kids choose to document.
















At the Clark's toy sale, the kids bought these little connecting toys.  Bradley was pretty proud of his ferris wheel and took pictures :).
