potter-mania

everyone around our house is pretty tired these days.

jack is not napping, ergo he is tired

but why would mommy and daddy be tired? (more tired than usual, that is)

one word.

potter-mania!

maybe that's two words. whatever. i'm too tired to parse it.

anyway, daddy has been tearing his way through the new harry potter book, which arrived on saturday afternoon. and mommy, having to wait until daddy is through with his early birthday present, is re-reading the last harry potter book so she can remember what happened (what with having her memory erased by pregnancy and birth) and then begin reading the new volume. this has meant many late nights for mommy and daddy. and, as regular readers know, the days with jack always start early. ergo, we are tired.

but ... daddy is finished. mommy is finished and now starting.

and jack?

well, today he was flipping the newly minted printed pages in which that famous young wizard resides (albeit upside down). too bad mommy was too slow with the camera -- it was cute (in mommy's objective opinion).

fine ... jack can flip, but mommy called next dibs! is jack too young to read it to him at bedtime?

  1. Just finished the book on Thursday! Took a long business lunch in my office. Shhhh...! Great stuff. But it was very weird when Hermione died.

    Kidding!! (or am I? :-)
