This year, for Frances's birthday celebration, we had the Linfoots and Ishikawas over for pizza and a viewing of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It was so mellow and wonderful. I got all the kids Harry Potter glasses and lightning bolt tattoos and then they made potions out of vinegar, baking soda, glitter, and dish soap. I did print out instructions, but the kids gleefully ignored those and had a great time. Below, we've got Frances, Peanut, Keala, Chandler and Darby. Akea couldn't make it, but Adler was around somewhere.
After the movie, Darby stayed the night! They've actually spent the night together before, but never for a Birthday Sleepover and Frances seemed very pleased with that part.
The next morning, the girls sewed and played Harry Potter Clue. These are The Absolute Best Activities for sleep-deprived children, second only to flame throwing and knife sharpening.
After a bit, I made Cindy come pick up Darby so we could go back to bed. When we'd rested up a bit, I was willing to declare the whole thing a huge success.
you are the most incredible mother!
