At 12:01 am today the final book in the Harry Potter series went on sale. Xachar & Col-Cr were at the bookstore waiting to get our copy. Because we had thought ahead, we had a book on reserve & collected our pick up # early in the day, Friday, so the book was in our possession by 12:30am & the boys were home by 12:45am. Even as eager as I was to crack it open & begin reading, I waited until 8am & did not look up until a horrible headache struck at 2pm. By that time I was 3/4 done. A friend came over for dinner & we relaxed a bit. My headache was finally gone & I resumed reading around 9pm finishing the last typed word at 11:20pm.
As Col-Cr currently has his nose stuck in the book; Xachar is buggin me for details. He won't read the books but will watch the movies. I was shocked, a bit sad & pleased with the ending. I pray when they do shoot the final movie, they won't leave anything out.
If you are a Harry Potter fan, do not miss this book. I had purchased the paperback but refused to wait one single day to read the final installment in this special series. I've really enjoyed the special bond J.K. Rowling has helped to form between Col-Cr & myself. It's been a wonderful journey that we will both treasure & miss.

I'm Pooped
Oh my how exhausting this summer has been!
Last week saw Col-Cr turning 11. Wow hard to believe he's lived this long without serious injury. He got his gift weeks prior but was ok with just cake on his big day. The wait for the Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix movie was ended at 11:59pm on Col-Cr's bday. Yep I actually took him to a super late night movie & I managed to stay awake for the entire movie. (GO MOM) We certainly enjoy having this in common. This Friday the last book in the series becomes available at midnight. The local bookstore is having a Potter Party which we will be attending. Should be fun. Then I plan on doing nothing all weekend but reading that book. I don't want to hear what happens before hand. KWIM?
Scold me but I caved & got Col-Cr & Neo-Pa heely's. Neither have worn them w/the wheels but I might take them out to see how they do. Right now they are just school shoes. Yes in some ways I am the Mom that will do what she can to help her kids "fit in". Mind you that doesn't mean they get everything, but these shoes weren't as expensive as I thought.
Xchar & I went to get school supplies last night. Yep it's that time folks, time to get ready to send them back!! Found out the Wee School Neo-Pa attended has done away with a "learning" program so we are wondering if we should bite it & send Pac_Cr to K this year. Maybe it's me that's not ready to send him?? We have to go in the week of August 6th to register the kids so I have 2 weeks to decide.
The last few weeks saw me working on our bedroom. I got it painted & the new bedding up this weekend while the crew was visiting Xachr's parents. I've also included pics of my new hairdo & the new patio awning we recently put together.
