My little genius

She is a genius, this child of mine.

She has invented her very own chip-dipper, using a simple clothespin.




"This way the dip doesn't get all over your fingers," she said.






Genius.

An epic tale

The Christmas decorations have barely been put away. That can only mean ONE thing at our house.

LORA LEIGH'S BIRTHDAY IS APPROACHING FAST!!!

And the planning has begun....

What shall it be? Disney Princess? Rock star? Puppies and kittens?

On No.

HARRY POTTER!!!

Now, having seen only three of the movies and read one third of one book, I'm not the expert on Harry Potter that she is, so I've had to rely on help. I messaged my cousin Laura in Chicago, who IS a certified expert and got some ideas.

This morning, she messaged me back.

"How goes the planning," she wrote.

"Oh, it's going to be epic," I replied.

And Lora Leigh was reading over my shoulder.

"Epic? You use the word epic?"
