Fairies and Trolls

Several weeks ago the fairies (the ones who have been visiting us for years) left a mysterious note for Kayla, Bailey, Ethan and Collin. It said that the kids must be together on the night of March 15th because something special would happen.
After weeks of anticipation and lots of meetings and phone calls between Kayla and Bailey, March 15th arrived. The kids spent the night at our house and they could barely fall asleep, wondering what would happen.
When we woke up in the morning we found that the faires and trolls had actually had a great battle in our house. Troll footsteps were coming from the fireplace and doorways and fairy dust was everywhere. The fairies left a letter describing the battle and said the cat (cats hate trolls) helped ward off the trolls and helped them win the battle. The fairies left special necklaces for the girls to wear and they left fairy dust and lego kits for the boys.
What a great and exciting morning we had!
The only problem is that a beautiful jewled box lay open on the ground in the backyard. Apparently the trolls stole the "jewel of fairy knowledge" during the fight. But the cat knocked the jewel out of the troll's hands and it is somewhere... out there... and that is to be continued when the "Great Jewel Hunt" happens this spring.
