Dreams Really Do Come True

This is personal but I wanted to write about it. About eight years ago I got this old poster frame from one of the fun centers. It was dark green and black with Gothic painting and roman numerals on it. As we moved around we dragged it too. Dave voiced his opinion of it many times. Basically he didn't like it, so I would defend it stating my vision of a fairy tale castle with a little girl looking at herself in it. Finally I repainted it, put a mirror in it and as I was getting ready to hang it I had it leaning against Mae's bed, I look over and she is looking at herself. At that moment I realized how suddenly things happen and when you look around dreams come true and hopes are fulfilled. Thats why hope is so important. So I decided I had to have a reminder of this so I had the girls pictures taken in it! Dream Big!

Elles birthday was this month. We had a fairy party with some family and girls from the ward. It was so cute. Of course we went over the top but its so easy when you love what your doing. We had fairy wands to eat, white chocolate dragonflies and chocolate bird nests along with other food, fruit and sandwiches. The girls had fun flying around and playing games, but next time I think I need more games. It turned out really cute.

Finally we completed our playroom in the basement. Its a beach side retreat, complete with beach cottage and undersea lounge and of course the "water slide".


The opposite side of the beach cottage is our craft hut, with craft supplies (play dough and crayons at the minute) and fully locked cabinets with all your messiest projects. Mommy helps when its time.


And the playhouse has lights the kids can turn on and off and dramatic colors for the puppet stage which can't be seen in this picture (part of the under sea lounge).


Inside the beach cottage it hasn't been decorated since the 50's but we liked the charm so we keep the curtains. And of course what beach cottage wouldn't be complete without a fully stocked kitchen. Now you can reserve your weekend here at the sea of toys. Just call for details!!
