Harry Potter Day at the Historical Museum!

Today we went to "Harry Potter Day" that the Historical Society hosted. The kids got to ride a carriage to "Hogwarts", go to a Potions class, play Quidditch, and of course, find the Horcruxes.

Eli is also in Gryffindor!

Of course after we came home the kids needed to have their own "Quidditch field" in the yard!


The kids (and grown ups!) had a lot of fun. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Tomorrow Eli starts camp and will be gone from 8 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. It will be a good way for Eli (and me!) to get used to him being gone all day before first grade starts.

On Thursday our documents are being dropped off at the Embassy and our appointment is the week after! As long as everything goes okay Merveille will be home in September!! I had a mini freak-out last night thinking everything will go wrong and our amazing caseworker called me at 10:30pm just to calm me down. She really has been wonderful and definately goes above and beyond her job description. So, thank you "J" for everything and I know it will all work out!
