If I had known she would be here, this would be a date!





So said my little boy when we got in line at the ice cream shop and discovered his favorite girl friend from school in line ahead of us. He's never shown a heck of a lot of interest in any girls except this one and the mere mention of her name causes him to blush. After a brief bout of shyness, he ordered the same thing she did, invited himself right over to their table and they happily ate their cones together and got all caught up on the summer doings. Grace was beside herself that he didn't want to sit with her.

Pretty good weekend around here. We spent lots of time in the yard, weeding and planting and tidying. Decided we are going to paint the exterior towards the end of the summer or fall. It's white, boring, and doesn't really need painting but on the other hand, when does a fresh coat of paint hurt anything? I'm thinking dolphin gray. Justin is not convinced.

We went to see Harry Potter on Saturday. I enjoyed it quite a bit during the watching but my enthusiasm has dimmed in the aftermath. It seemed so rushed - as though we were just getting an overview of the events as they unfolded rather than a true representation of the story. Don't know why the director was so stuck on a two hour film instead of letting the story be told. I still liked it though. Really looking forward to seeing the director's cut.

And not that I'm counting or anything, but it's only 4 days until Book 7 comes out.
