It's a Harry Potter World!




GryffindorRavenclaw
SlytherinHufflepuff

Gryffindor: bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry.
Ravenclaw: intelligence, knowledge, and wit.
Slytherin: passive aggressive, ambition, cunning and resourcefulness.
Hufflepuff: sweet natured, patience, loyalty, and fair play.

When I was at University (Arizona State), I was a English Major and was taking a Young Adult Literature class. The teacher suggested I read a british author who wrote a really good book and the sequel had just come out. It was Harry Potter.  So I got on the Harry Potter bandwagon fairly early.  I really enjoyed the series and one of the truths I have taken from it is the sorting of people into four categories or houses.   Here is how my family is sorted:

Gryffindor: Eddy, Declan
Ravenclaw: No one yet although people always try to put themselves in this house
Slytherin: Quinton Germaine (Papa), Me (Rhiannon), Ashlee, Quinton Carlton, Archer Carlton
Hufflepuff: Carol Germaine (Nona). McCoy
Zaynzley as yet unknown you have to wait until three years old to be sorted.

Today being Saturday everyone is home which is really nice until it isn't.  Today we had two Slytherins battling.  Quinton was trying to make Archer help clean their room and so took the ipad away from him. This made Archy really mad and so he went got a stepstool and took Quintons new game out of the Playstation 3 and threw it in the kitchen trash.  Quinton saw the stepstool by the playstation and was suspicious and saw his game was missing.  He complained about it so Eddy asked Archer where it was. Archer looked at the trash but wouldn't fess up to it.  While Eddy was looking elsewhere Quinton found the game in the trash and took it out, but then thought wait Archy won't get in trouble so put it in a different trash hoping a parent would find it.  His plan backfired when Eddy said It couldn't have been in that trash I already checked it.  So that was just one part of the drama we enjoyed today.  At one point four out of five children were crying at the same time. 

A few photo highlights of the day.

Guess who we found hiding first thing this morning?

Zaynzley got the Costco Croutons out of the cupboard
and didn't want to get caught.

Zaynzley saw the camera aimed at McCoy
and had to jump in for a photo bomb



Eddy grinding wheat forgot to put the bowl in
to catch the flour, flour goes everywhere!


McCoy decided to make a toga for himself, it wasn't long before Declan followed suit. Why are they dressed this way you may ask? I did. Answer "we are dressed like the gods because they don't have to clean their room. Good try boys!



Archy looking in trash for game

Tampered Evidence
"I found the game in the trash and saved it, but I knew Archy
wouldn't get in trouble unless you actually found the game in
trash."  it just so happened that Quinty tampered the evidence
after Eddy had already searched the bin in question.   BUSTED!!

Sweetly Napping (thank goodness)
