Harry Potter

We've started our Harry Potter-a-thon to get ready for the new movie. So far, in the last 2 nights, we've watched the first and second movies and only have 3 more to go. I haven't watched them in a while so it's been fun to see them again. We are definitely anxious to see the new movie and the countdown is on!!!

This is, once again, an older picture taken in our house in Texas (my camera is broken and I haven't been able to take any recent pictures. Bummer!). I love this picture, though. My kids have been wearing these same costumes the last couple of days while playing Harry Potter and using unsharpened pencils for wands. Ben keeps saying "Dooby dooby doo - bop you on the head", which is his "spell". Amazingly enough, after he says his spell, everyone gets bopped on the head with his wand. It really works! He must be a muggle-born wizard!

Common positions for my kids!

I hate to admit it, but you can often find my kids just like this! These pictures were taken before we moved, but they are every bit as relevant in our new house, too. I've even had to make a rule that they can't get on any electronic device before 1:00pm because they would do nothing else! We have such a great back yard now and I had to think of something to help them enjoy it more. I figure by 1pm it's too hot to be outside anyway so they might as well be playing video games or whatever if we're not at the pool. They love to read too, but not all day like me! Do any of you have kids who are electronic addicts?!


Ethan and Levi enjoying the computer. At least they're not fighting over it!


Ben is a whiz at Playstation games. Better than me by far!


Hannah can watch Disney all day if I'd let her. Now if I could just transfer that passion to washing dishes!
