When my mom was here, we watched the first Harry Potter movie with the kids. Ari's too young for it, but Xander loved it.
I started reading him the book. We're on page 85. He keeps asking for more.
And in honor of the series, we "sorted" our family.
Me: Slytherin. I like schmoozing with people, and politics, and I'm ambitious. (But no, I'm not turning evil anytime soon!)
Jonathan: Hufflepuff. He's loyal as the day is long, and loves his family to the end of the earth.
Xander: Ravenclaw. He has a sense of curiosity and always wants to learn.
Ari: Gryffindor. The boy has no fear, he'll try anything and stand up to anyone. Bravery and recklessness are a fine line.
Connor: Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, the jury's still out. He's very smart and is a problem-solver, but he's also a major cuddler.
We're a magical family, what can I say? :)
It was only a matter of time. And now it's off and running. Ravensclaw Xander will become as ardent, as fervent a Harry Potter fan as his mother, the Slytherin. You all fit well into the Houses assigned to you. But I take exception to the final evaluation of Ari... Because Ari has no fear and will stand up to anyone, I say that as a Gryffinder, there's a fine line between Bravery and RECKLESSNESS. As for Connor, he'll just have to settle for.being a Huffle-Claw until he proves himself!!!!! A magical family indeed!
ReplyDeleteGreat point, I've changed the entry for Ari. And LOL at Huffle-claw... that's awesome.
