Unfortunately I'm not even his mother - just his aunt/nanny so I really have no excuse for being so short tempered. I only put up with it 30 hours a week...But I am feeling stronger already. Something about admitting ones failures perhaps? Anyway - just wanted to say thanks and also I LOVE HARRY POTTER - honestly I truly love those books and reading this post makes me want to have my own children whom I can share Harry with...you're a lucky lady!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015070241351570402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-76581955817345480592010-04-19T08:09:59.224+10:002010-04-19T08:09:59.224+10:00Cool in a million ways.

I vaguely recall playing Star Trek, which mostly involved arguing over who got to be Kirk and who got to be Spock.Warty Mammalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942793134631438689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-50309568132743023472010-04-13T20:18:01.152+10:002010-04-13T20:18:01.152+10:00How fun!

It's an absolute disaster. The Mr is doing the reading at bedtime (and is absolutely hooked) and the kids go to bed with their imaginations filled to the brim with magic and other excellence until we get to a scary bit where they're quaking in their shoes. Even the smallest kid has been casting expelliarmus spells all over the shop. Time to distract everyone with a game of quidditch methinks.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520680195281725886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-76452944680184139722010-04-11T00:47:26.047+10:002010-04-11T00:47:26.047+10:00Sounds like GREAT fun!!!

The older one read to himself from book 3 upwards. <br /><br />HP7 came out as we were about to board a plane to LA (she says casually) but I INSISTED on standing in a queue as the embargo lifted 15 minutes before the flight boarded. I got the first copy sold at Sydney International airport, and they took photos and were in HP costumes and everything - and had I been home I would have joined them in dressing up. I read it flying across the Pacific and LOVED it. She bought it herself while we were away and read it, but then I re-read it to her when we returned after our long trip. I treasure the memory of doing that with her. I must say it would be much harder to read Twilight to her :P<br /><br />Climber is very brave to read it alone, it is a pretty intense book, I'm sure you're doing a bit of debriefing with him.Laura Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299523378009842115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-19089746086916294882010-04-09T21:11:06.573+10:002010-04-09T21:11:06.573+10:00I REALLY like the bit about throwing balls at the ...I REALLY like the bit about throwing balls at the kids.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00831936165024410678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-72571416507286361012010-04-09T20:29:13.899+10:002010-04-09T20:29:13.899+10:00Oh my youngest would love a Harry Potter party.

It is difficult to know that once it has been read there is no more. He'll be sad about that.<br /><br />Perhaps you can cheer him up by throwing balls at him.
