Punky muggle


As you can see from this photo, Nini's feeling under the weather this weekend. She's lost her voice and had a tiny fever on Saturday, so we spent the day just hanging out as a family. She napped and watched some old Electric Company episodes in her room.

Actually, this is her sitting at the table while I read several chapters of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone Saturday morning. We've really been getting into it. Elissa's read this first one, but none of the rest of us had read any of the uber-saga. I sort of thought it would be too mainstream to follow the crowd and enjoy it with everyone else over the last 10 years of Harry Potter-mania. Reading it now, I'm just as amazed and hooked into the story as your average human. I have to admit, there's a little bit of selfish glee in relishing the delayed enchantment after everyone else has long gotten over it -- sort of like saving all your Halloween Candy until after Thanksgiving, and eating it in front of all the other kids.

Anyway....we hope her eyes soon return to normal, or we're going to have to enroll the lass in the house of Slytherin.....which, as you know....was also the house of Vol...sorry...I mean the One-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.....
