Harry Potty Extravaganza

So, we've been reading Harry Potter every night to the boys. Brad calls it Harry Potty and they still laugh every time. Aaron loves it and hangs on every word. Ian is put to sleep by it and thinks it's cool because someone stays with them for a little while longer. So, we finished the first book and decided they had to see the movie (in the afternoon so it wouldn't be so scary). Brad refashioned his Halloween hat into a sorting hat and we sorted them, made them wear their robes, gave them wands (red licorice), and every flavor jelly beans (mike and ikes). Aaron loved it and kept yelling out, I remember this part (which shows me he really did understand a lot). Ian got a little bored. Lani was a lot bored and actually peed on the futon (we're off and on in undies now). All in all it was a really fun activity. We have started the second book so maybe by the end Ian will think it's cool too.

This is so funny and very cute. Good thinking. SO cute...the sorting hat. Aaron is so smart, he'll probably be WRITING books like this in 3 years. Love the wands and every flavor jelly beans. Stephen and I are into Harry Potty right now too. SO fun
