Ahhhhh! I can't believe she's already seven! Megan read the first Harry Potter book and decided that she wanted a Harry Potter birthday. The funny thing is that she hadn’t seen any of the movies but was set on it. It was a little tough because no one is selling Harry Potter things anymore. But, it ended up being a really fun theme. We made a bunch of wands for the kids. When they came they got to have a wand choose them. Larry set up a stack of cups with a bottom one attached to fishing line. The fishing line wound behind our entertainment center and was quite concealed. If the wand chose the child the cups tumbled when waved at them. The kids ate it up. We had transfiguration class where we played charades. At potions class we made a few magical potions. We practiced our quiditch skills by dodging bludgers on the trampling but I think learning how to levitate a phone was the biggest hit. Larry set up another fishing line attached to a toy and strung up and over a wall into the kitchen. I hid behind the fridge and pulled the string after they learned the spell. The kids were soooo cute about it. They were smart enough to figure it out but played along and even had to show their parents how they could do magic when they came to pick them up. Lastly, we had divination class where we all tried to guess what was in the present before Megan unwrapped it. Even with the kids giving us hints we all failed at divination.

Brandon and I were just thinking of that. She is 7 which means Kenna will be 7 very very soon. When did they grow up? Not fair!! At least we will have new babies to fill that need a little longer.
Happy birthday Megan! It sounds like a really fun party (and a lot of work!) I hope they appreciate all that we do for them when they grow up!
