Rhys is 5!!




Last month, we had a Harry Potter birthday party for Rhys. I will admit that we got a little carried away. Avery and I had a great time planning, so it took on a life of it's own. We had everyone come in costume or we had extra robes for kids that didn't have magical garb. We also supplied everyone with wands. The kids had to complete four courses: Potions (with all sorts of juices and carbonated drinks, colored Kool Aid packets, Pop Rocks and gummy worms), History of Magic (Harry Potter trivia), Defense Against the Dart Arts (dragon pinata), and Divination (guessing the birthday gifts as Rhys opened them). Then, after a feast of pb&js and cake, everyone got a chocolate frog to take home.



You can see more pictures from the party here.

an amazing party.

I cannot believe how disgusting and sour some of those "potions" turned out to be - and worse - how much the kids enjoyed drinking that mess.

They were so cute in their robes and wands and classes.

Pointing at chest: "I Haye Pattar."
You should have seen Rianon's potion. Erin was dared to drink it, and she nearly threw up at the first tast. Yuck!
