Aww! That is just precious! I love to see how little minds imagine our world!

Thank you for sharing a new sprite story!!

I think you should dye the concrete blue and embed some pretty rocks. Sounds wonderful! SMART Girl.

I adore your stories about the sprites! I was going to ask about handprints also.

Perhaps this little sprite will one day be on GW forums giving decorating advice.

They are so cute. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Rhizo, thank you. I was thinking the other day we hadn't had a sprite story for a while.

Maybe you should at least buy a slip and slide for the front so the neighborhood kids aren't completely disappointed ;0)

Unfortunately, the girls will be in school when the walkway is poured. There's no doubt that they would be fascinated in the whole process.

Littlest sprite has an imagination that knows no bounds and a creative streak that is so much fun to watch. She's the one whose wardrobe choices often need to be edited before she gets on the school bus or she will look like a little bag lady, wearing five layers of clothes.

But she's getting better! I inspected her yesterday and she had on a tiny skirt with leggings underneath, a cute sweater which she tucked into her skirt so that she could wear a set of boy's suspenders (thrift shop find), a scarf around her neck, three different thrift store brooches on her suspenders, and her hat. Always a hat of some kind. Her grandpa, who is a longtime friend of ours, calls me sometimes to come over to see if she's remotely acceptable, lol.

All I could say yesterday was, "You nailed it, girl!" Cute as a button. She's 7 and has been a serious thrift store fashionista for a couple of years.

Oh, there will be no dying of the concrete other than a caramel color and no slip and slide, lol. We do decorated hand and footprint stepping stones every year for us and their grandpa.

How cute! I'd talk to the concrete guys and see if there's any way you can embed a few of those river rocks, even just on the edge of the walk as they pour the concrete... it'd be such a great treat for them and it would turn an regular old walkway into a special memory for you and them.

Lol, the whole walkway is going to be exposed aggregate.

So cute and glad the sprites are doing well.

I also thought as Colleenz did about handprints. Annie has a fun idea as well.

Anything "permanent" impression in the drive would make for a lovely memory.

Once again Rhizo, you and Dh are very special people!

What a great story, reading about your sprites makes a nice start to the day. Thanks for sharing them with us :-)

I always enjoy your stories of the two little sprites. The joy those two bring into your lives is so wonderful.

Love those "little sprites" and the stories that accompany them!

Totally adorable! And you could have frogs and snails in the river walkway if you did it her way.....aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.......

She did mentioned fish in her narrative, ha! Gold fish.

What a lovely story in this day and age! The blessings are surely for every role played. Thank you for sharing.

I just love the sprite stories!

It would be perfect if you could do something on a smaller scale, to the delight of your sprites.

Love the Sprites! Thanks Rhizo!

That is absolutely the cutest story I’ve heard lately! We haven’t heard much about the Sprites in a while but this is great, and thanks for sharing. Yes, it would be wonderful if you could even form a some of the aggregate stones into the shape of a simple fish or two (one for each Sprite) somewhere so it looks like they are ‘swimming’ down the path. It sounds easy, but maybe not.
