Spring Cleaning, A Fairy Garden, and a Playhouse Tea Party

For over a year, Emma had been begging to create a legitimate fairy garden.  So we collected little trinkets and figurines with the intent of building the garden as soon as it warmed up.  Finally that day came, so we hopped in the car to grab a few more plants and supplies.  I really can't describe the kids' excitement using words, so I'll let the pictures do the talking. 

Later that week, Lyla decided it was time to do a little Spring cleaning in the playhouse.  She singlehandedly dragged everything out and scrubbed, vacuumed, and swept.  I love that little girl.  What else could we do to celebrate than have an evening tea party?

It was a long, busy day, followed by some serious snuggling.  Where exactly am I supposed to fit in this bed?  Poor Benny had to resort to sleeping in the dog bed.
