A Day in Our Life: Sword Fights & Harry Potter Madness

July is half over (REALLY?!) and it's been full of birthday parties, sword fights, ninja moves and midnight showings of Harry Potter...just to name a few of our activities!

Lately, Gabriel has shown a lot more interest in the computer. We've found some fun games for him to play on SesameStreet.org and NickJr.com and he seems to get the hang of it all pretty quickly.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He's also been missing his daddy while he's at work all day, and can hardly wait for him to get home each day. He knows that as soon as daddy gets home it is PLAY TIME! This usually involves some sort of wrestling, boxing, sword fights, crazy dancing, ninja moves, tickling...you name it! I guess mommies just aren't as good at that kind of play.

We've had more babysitting fun with cute Delaney:

She was soooo cuddly...I miss those days

A "bashful" smile

Gabriel talking to Delaney...she just LOVES him!
He had to show her how his new car worked

She even had fun with Patrick (normally she's scared of him)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And then there was the midnight showing of Harry Potter! My friend, Jenn Anderson got tickets for her b-day to the midnight showing of Harry Potter (in 3-D), and she decided to take me and her daughter, Natalie to the movie! It was so much fun, and the later it got the more ridiculous we acted. It was fun and the movie was great, but now we don't know what to do with ourselves since there won't be anymore Harry Potter movies. :(
Started off the night at Applebee's for appetizers
Goofy Natalie!

Me & Jenn

Then on to the theater at 9:30pm to get a good spot in line for the midnight movie

This would be all of the CRAZY Harry Potter fans lined up to get into the theaters
CUTE Mother - Daughter shot!
STILL in line at 11:30pm!

WOW - must have been LOOPY at this point
TOTAL HOTNESS!

LOL...HAHAHAHAHAHA....I am totally laughing out loud at those harry potter pictures...that is just hilariously hot!! ;) How do you get your photos to look so big on your blog? Is there a way to change the size when you post them? I am so sad Harry potter is over, I cant wait till it comes out on dvd to watch it again, that sure was a BLAST!!! Those are the cutest pictures of you guys with Delaney, she sure does LOVE Gabriel, that one of her laughing at Patrick is funny, thank you for taking such good care of her that night!! Those stick fighting pictures are funny, remind me to never get in a stick fight with Gabriel :)
