Harry Potter and More Parties!
Today, as seems to always be the case lately, we had a very busy and late day. I took the day off of work to relax and play with the family. We all got up a little late because of the late night card-playing from last night. I got a craving for crepes, so Angela got a break from making breakfast today and I made crepes for everyone. We enjoyed them filled with fresh blueberries, jam, syrup, chocolate sauce (Carmen’s favorite), and other items. I hadn’t made these in awhile.
After finishing up with breakfast, we got all ready for the day, drove to the store, bought a bunch of candy, 
and then Sarah, Brittany, Kirstyn, Carmen, and I want to see the 11:20am showing of the new Harry Potter movie. We all really enjoyed it! After it was over, we all agreed that we thought the book was better, but the movie was very entertaining. 🙂
Since the movie was so long (164 minutes), it was mid-afternoon before we even got back home. We were all so tired we crashed and slept for awhile. I couldn’t even stay awake! I think we all needed a little down-time.
At 5:30 pm, Sarah, Brittany, and Carmen went over to the Gaul’s for a party with some of the Spanish kids and with some of their school friends. They had a great time there eating food, jumping on the trampoline, having a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood, and hanging out around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. Marta made tortilla de patatas (an omelet dish) for them as well which the girls enjoyed. The hit of the night was the trampoline, however. Carmen said that they don’t have this in Spain and she had a blast along with everyone else jumping in it. I went over at about 11:00 pm to pick them up and we ended up not coming home until about midnight. We all immediately crashed into bed.
