I feel like I need to elaborate a little bit on Erik's wonderful post. The kids have been very much into catching fairies these days. Katharine has a big beautiful book with all kinds of fairies in it which is used to base her research on. Katharine has built a little fairy garden using an old flowerpot, dirt and assorted plants. She faithfully waters it when the soil gets too dry. The boys are really into the fairy adventure, too.
We have had A LOT of the little brownish orangish butterflies around the house and when the kids discovered that they would sit on their clothes or skin, they started naming the butterflies or butterfly fairies, according to the experts. The kids truly believe that the same two or three butterflies keep coming back to them. I will not tell them otherwise. It is so much fun to watch them get all absorbed in the magic of their daily play.
