Harry Potter and the Welbeck Manor

This morning Truman decided he wanted to earn his keep at Welbeck Manor. He went to the bottom drawer in the kitchen and took out a cloth and started to clean the floors. He rubbed that cloth has hard as he could and made the floors sparkly clean. Good boy! Taking after is father already! The silverware needs polishing next!



This weekend was all about Harry Potter....we picked the book up at 8am (although we pre-ordered it to be picked up at midnight, sadly the Death Eaters placed the catterwauling jinx around our house which forbade us to leave). Jerry started to read the book immediately and put it down only to to take Truman to his swimming lessons. During the lesson I grabbed the book so that I could start reading about the Deathly Hallows too! Jerry then begged me to go to the mall so that he could continue to read in silence and being the good wife that I am, I obliged. Jerry finished Harry Potter as we were pulling into the Sullivan's driveway later that afternoon. Yes! The book was finally mine! I managed to finish last night.

I got one picture of some of the kids Saturday afternoon. Here's a picture of Christine who just took a dip in the pool, Olivia who decided she wanted to crawl away to something more interesting and Truman who is not particularly happy with sitting on the grass, he's somewhat of a delicate lad. Ethan was just too busy jumping in the pool and Dash was taking a nap so we didn't get the other boys in the shot. I have a feeling it will be some time before we can get all five (soon to be six) kids in one picture together.
