We are in the midst of a special few days. Tomorrow night is this year's "supermoon" and Monday is both International Fairy Day and Hip Chick's third OR date. I tend to be a bit superstitious in they days immediately preceeding our daughter's procedures. I feel that it is important to make good memories shortly before these dates and today seemed to be prime opportunity.
A couple of weeks ago, I made my newest wreath (pictured above). I had envisioned it months ago and anticipated it would serve as my spring wreath, but the business of traction and the first two casts made time fly by. With its earthy theme, I thought it would easily coordinate with this weekend's festivities.
It was a day of indulgences, starting with a fancy-schmancy breakfast. I smeared strawberry cream cheese between two slices of cinnamon raisin french toast and topped with caramelized bananas.
Breakfast was served with sparkly hats and fairy wands. Hip Chick thought that the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was an appropriate ode to our day and breakfast was kicked off with the tune.
Breakfast was followed by a little shopping- clothes for Big Sis and shoes for Hip Chick. Our local mall has a "soft play" center and we indulged our baby girl. She was thrilled to crawl and play so freely in public!
We continued our fairy theme at dinner with butterfly shaped pizza crusts, courtesy of my handiwork.
They "painted" their winged templates with sauce and sprinkled with cheese.
After dinner, we had one last trick up our sleeves. No magical day is complete without a spark and we supplied that in the form of freshly made s' mores. Both girls were ecstatic, and our little hippie went so far as to turn hers into an open-faced sandwich of sorts, unashamedly throwing her face into her plate as though it was a pie eating contest.
We concluded our day with a tribute to the moon. The girls were allowed a late bedtime just to bid the moon goodnight. We quoted a few lines from a beloved children's book as we walked inside. A special day, indeed. Pending positive results on Monday, we hope for many more to come
