Maeve - Fairy Queen

One of Maeve's favourite gifts from her birthday was this great fairy costume from her cousin Sarah.

I call upon the powers that be to evoke my fairy powers!
Hmmm, what shall I do with this wand today?
I know! I'll make Ellie fly!
Go n-eitlí tú Ellie!
Gee, that didn't work. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
Check out my wings Baba!
Well, at least I can fly.

The Queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey

and playing with all her new toys at the same time!

Maeve loves her new kitchen from Po po and Gung gung. She likes to make soup and feed it to everyone including all her dolls and stuffed friends (aka guys). Strangely, she only uses the microwave to cook. I guess that isn't a very good reflection of my cooking habits! Although, in my defence I must point out that we try to keep her out of the kitchen when the oven or stove are in use.

Then she will sit down with her bowl of soup and drink it while playing the piano.

Then she will go over to her folding barn and make sure all the animals get a chance to experience the different stalls and compartments by moving them around. Oh yes and she has to make sure they all get a bit of soup.

Then it is over to the Cozy Cottage to ring the door bell and make sure the family all get a bit of soup.

We're going to have to start rotating toys into storage and taking them out after a few months. Otherwise there just won't be enough hours in a day to feed soup to the whole gang.

Cooking "doup" in the microwave "beep, beep"
What can I get for you today? Perhaps some soup?
Ah, finally a chance to relax and enjoy my cooking.

Crocodile Rock

Maeve loves dancing to our Elton John DVD. For her birthday, we gave her a toy piano in the shape of a crocodile and now she plays it while watching Elton play Crocodile Rock. Maybe she'll be a rock star when she grows up! If only the phone would stop interrupting her creative flow...
