We have enough interest that the Peep Show will go on! It will be smaller than previous years, but that is okay. :)
All-O-ver, Ol-i-vore . . . we're learning that Oliver's name has some fun mispronunciations.
Also, ask him what is name is and this is what you'll hear: "My name is Oli . . . Oli . . . Oliv . . . Oli . . . I don't know."
Here I am at SFO. Again. What should have been a 40 minute layover has turned into a 5 hour layover with merely a possibility of getting on the red-eye at 10:30. Flying standby. And if I don't get on the standby flight . . . they tell me my next shot at JFK isn't for 24 hours. Yeah. So let's hope that doesn't happen. And if I don't get on standby, well, there's got to be another way home.
S: Oliver, Is Mom a child of God?
O: Yes!
S: No, Mom is a grown up!
The one night -- ever -- when Micah and I get to bed at 10:00 and could, feasibly, get 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, Simon wakes up crying inexplicably at midnight and can't go back to sleep, Oliver falls out of bed, and we're all out a couple of hours of sleep. Clearly we need to never try to go to to bed early. It's the only way to get a good night's sleep around here.
Some of my siblings went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter at some theater in Utah. I didn’t get to go. I may not even see it in the theater because Micah and I are too lazy and miserly to find ourselves a sitter AND pony up the cash for such an endeavor. (Poor Lizzie. That Lizzie is poor.) Especially when we’ve heard that Mr. Radcliffe’s and Mr. Grint’s acting chops have not improved significantly over time. (Really that is just our excuse for being cheapskates.)But I digress. My siblings. That’s where we were. And my clever sister who made iron-on t-shirts for all of them to wear to the big event. I think they are hilarious. I hope you can make out the text.Abby informs me that Jarom’s shirt (he’s the one there under the curse Imperius) says “Why so SIRIUS?” on the back and Jess’s, whose heart you can unlock with the Alohomora spell, says “I Lovegood like Luna does.” And all of them, on the sleeve or elsewhere, say, “If I fall asleep please RENNERVATE me.”
Perhaps if Abby got some copyright permissions and a silk-screening machine she could make a buck or two.
And thus concludes our Harry Potter related postings for the next two months.
Lizzie, do you want me to email these pictures to you so you have bigger files?
These are really fun! My mom and sister once made me an I heart Harry Potter shirt {like the I heart NY shirts} for one of the movie premiers. If your sister ever did sell them, or would consider making one for a huge fan in New Orleans, that would be sirius-ly amazing!
Hope all is well!
Those are AWESOME! Abby, you rock!
Those are pretty clever. She could definitely make some big bucks with those.
I love it! Jon and I actually went to Harry Potter last night. I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Radcliffe's performance under Felix Felicis. We also laughed several times during the awkward teen romance scenes. All in all I'd say these actors and actresses have improved dramatically over the years. It really was well done, though it sure helps to have movie tickets gifted to you so you don't have to pay a gazillion dollars… too bad they wouldn't accept them.
Those are so cool! I would totally pay for them. :0)
BTW, we just saw the movie on Saturday and were definitely impressed – I actually think this may be their best one!
