"Come faeries, take me out of this dull world,
for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame."
-W.B. Yeats
Brandi, one of Mom’s good friends from college, came in town this week to visit and paint a mural on the wall in Ashlyn’s new room. We were shocked when Ashlyn said she wanted fairies, so Brandi used her artistic talents to bring a fairy tree to life in the new room, complete with Ashlyn’s name spelled out in wooden letters. There’s even a fairy carrying the last letter up to the tree. Needless to say, Ashlyn loves her new room. Carpet is next, which will not be near as exciting. Thanks Brandi for making Ashlyn’s room come alive!
With friends in town we thought it would be fun to make pizzas. Ashlyn was the chef for the Flinn pizzas, and I have to say she did a really good job. Mom liked the pizzas Ashlyn made better than the ones that we made. While the pizzas were cooking, Ashlyn flew and James ran around causing trouble.
On Sunday we got to visit Nina, Papa, and baby Lilly for a bit. And afterwards it was time for family movie night on the new media room couch. The kids love that new couch, it’s like a fort, bed, and indoor trampoline all in one.
