Adventures in Insanity

My life is really busy. I've got two little boys (no, I don't wish I had a girl) and a Gus (puppy), all of whom slobber on me, wrestle with me, accidentally pee on me, and fill my days with endless laughter and joy. Ohh, and dirt. My issue isn't whether this shirt goes with those pants; it's which shirt hides more signs of boy. It's the life of a girl surrounded by truckloads of testosterone seeking a little perspective and the occasional opportunity to pee on my own.

Jacob's Birthday Party

For Jacob's seventh birthday he asked for a Harry Potter party. We had tons of magical games and activities for the kids.

During the party Jacob got sorted into Gryffindor, after much deliberation on the part of the sorting hate.

After the sorting it was time for the banquet and then classes.

It was a busy and fun day for everyone.

The Banquet and Herbology

Our house elf was lazy and ordered pizza for the banquet. The pumpkin juice was constantly changing colors.

After the banquet the kids quickly went off to Charms where they learned to levitate a feather with their new wands.

Potions

For the Potions class the kids got to try out spherication. They took Phoneix tears (honey solution with sodium alginate) and soaked it in Araculmentula Venom (calcium bath) which created little jelly balls of honey.

Party continued

Gary's Surprise Party

We threw a surprise party for Gary's 30th. It was a ton of fun, and I am reasonably sure he was surprised.
We dis it up at Jaleo, a nice tapas place in DC. D and I spent the rest of the day at the museum with the monkeys.
