My cute bike revisited

I just had to share another picture of my cute bike. I got her a cute basket and made a cute liner to go in it. It turned out pretty good I think. The children and I went for a long bike ride the other night and I got to utilize the basket. It worked wonderfully. And, of course, the girl's bike got a flat tire....again. We simply CAN NOT go on a bike ride without someone coming home with a flat. It's so exasperating! But the handy husband always fixes them for us, and that's happy. What an amazing guy.

Misspelled

The children are SO into Harry Potter right now. Almost all of our conversations at the dinner table revolve around this subject lately. They love to tell the husband and me all about the things they are learning from this magical series. 

Today's revelation? 

Hagrid was misspelled from Hogwarts. 

Just thought you might like to know as well.

Easter Memories

We enjoyed our 2nd annual Easter Brunch today. We had a yummy breakfast and then proceeded to the green belt for an easter egg hunt and some games. The children LOVE it. And it's always fun to watch them enjoy themselves so much.

My fave

For about the last 6 hours the TV has been on. I don't usually watch so much tv. But, this evening while making dinner, the husband took the children to the park, so I turned on the TV. And I turned to TCM. And what to my wondering eyes should appear- DORIS DAY movies. OK- so YES I own most of them, and YES I've seen most of them. But she happens to be my favorite. So I have to watch them again. And again. And again.

So while making dinner, and after dinner, and after scriptures, and after getting the children into bed, the tv has been tuned into Doris Day. Apparently she is the star of the month on TCM. I think that's what I heard. The children watched some of one of the movies with me. They loved it too. YAY! They make me so proud.

And I have accomplished so much while watching the movies I love so much. But it is now after midnight, and I should be going to bed. But another one just started. OH MAN! Its so hard to turn it off.....even if I've seen it so many times already.

Invisibility or Disability?

I guess it all depends on who you are, but at OUR house we have been informed (by the children of course) that Harry Potter got his "disability cloak". Glad to have that cleared up! But really, when you come to think of it, what more would you expect from a series that has Malfboy in it!? (which is the correct pronunciation of Malfoy in case you were wondering)

Girl Trapped

After church today the boy told me that there is a new girl in his Primary class. And then says, "Now I'm even more girl trapped!" Poor boy is the only boy in his class of at least 5 little people. And 2 teachers....who are both female as well.

The light bulb went on......
Could this POSSIBLY be the reason why he doesn't want to go to church lately!!??!

Gaming

We recently got a couple of games for the Wii that the children might like to play. We got Tangled for the girl and Harry Potter legos for the boy. They love playing them.

Yesterday the boy was playing his HP Legos game and he was fighting the ogre in the bathroom. I was in the other room doing something and I hear, "Oh yeah? Take that! Who's cryin' now!?" (you have to hit the ogre over the head with some lego block or something) I laughed.

Today he was doing something ABCmouse.com and he said a sentence that ended in "apparently".

He keeps coming up with the funniest things to say.

Funny kid.
