Hearts, fairies and birthdays

Mysterious adverts appeared all around our house last week (see below) for an upcoming Fairy Dance Event. It was all very serious - the costume, adverts, choreography, music, confetti (for the audience to sprinkle at a pre-arranged moment), and tickets were all organised and created by my daughter. We all enjoyed it very much.


And, after a particularly enjoyable family day, these hearts appeared on the wall by the back door. How sweet.


And my son is having mixed feelings about his upcoming 4th birthday. On the one hand, a special day and presents. On the other, being older, and being the centre of attention for a whole day (he's not too keen on this). We have currently come to an agreement. He agrees to turning 4, but he doesn't want to get any older than that - and certainly not grow up. I've agreed he can turn 4 and see how it goes for a year, and then we'll see how he feels about turning 5.
And in the meantime, I've got a train-shaped cake to make - eek!
