Fun Harry Potter Quotes

So my top five had to grow this week so that we could fit all six books in. This is courtesy of mugglenet.com. They have lists of funny and fun quotes from the books. I couldn't find my favorite though. When Dumbledore says he has a few words for the beginning of term and they include "nitwit" and other great nonsensical words!

Book 1-"Sir — Professor Dumbledore? Can I ask you something?"
"Obviously, you’ve just done so," Dumbledore smiled. “You may ask me one more thing, however."
"What do you see when you look in the mirror?"
"I? I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks."
Harry stared.
"One can never have enough socks. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books."

Book 2-Warlock D. J. Prod of Didsbury says: "My wife used to sneer at my feeble charms, but one month into your fabulous Kwikspell course and I succeeded in turning her into a yak! Thank you, Kwikspell!"

Book 3-As though an invisible hand were writing upon it, words appeared on the smooth surface of the map. "Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."
Snape froze. Harry stared, dumbstruck, at the message. But the map didn't stop there. More writing was appearing beneath the first.
"Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git."
It would have been funny if the situation hadn't been so serious. And there was more...
"Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor."
Harry closed his eyes in horror. When he'd opened them, the map had had its last word.
"Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball."

Book 4-Dudley had done the thing he was threatening to do since age three: He had become wider than he was tall.

Book 5-"Don't put your wand there, boy!" roared Moody. "What if it ignited? Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!"

Book 6-"Oh, there you are, Albus," he [Slughorn] said. "You've been a very long time. Upset stomach?"
"No, I was merely reading the Muggle magazines," said Dumbledore. "I do love knitting patterns."

It's okay if her clothes don't match

At least that's what I'm telling myself. If I leave any of her clothes out, she's trying to yank them on her arms and legs. On the particular morning shown here, she kept bringing me different outfits to put on. I did insist on a shirt under the overalls before going out though!

Mystery Solved!

I thought it was just normal for babies to put food in their hair and play with their hair during mealtime. I thought there might even be some sort of innate routine if they could smell shampoo in their hair or their hair felt too clean, it must be time to put pizza in the hair! Alas, no!
She's just copying Daddy's "sit back and relax after dinner ritual"!

My Magical Education

So, I failed to uphold Harry Potter Friday last week but there was no major uproar so I'm just now getting to it. My brother makes wands. He's a sculptor and he finds beautiful wood to carve into wands. Mine is still on order (it's been a few years, maybe I should remind him, hmmmm) But, if I had a wand and could go to Hogwarts, which I absolutely would! I would take:

5. Herbology
4. Transfiguration, who hasn't wanted to transform something!
3. Charms, I would skim off some fat and straighten my hair without a blowdryer!
2. Potions, I like cooking!
1. Defense Against the Dark Arts, of course!

What about you?

Noodles

Megan's grandma LOVES Noodles and Company! They're all over the Twin Cities and there's one between our house and grandma's work. So she'll call us up a few times a month and meet us for lunch there! We love it because M just eats off our plates, Grandma gets M time, the food is so yummy, and Grandma usually treats! :) I was scrapbooking the other night and realized how many pictures we have from there. You can see why some of the servers recognize us!!!!

Boo?

Several people recently have commented that our little one reminds them of "Boo" in Monsters, Inc. What do you think?

It's official x 5

I have Picasa envy.

M has figured out that walking is for transportation and not just to get cheered on all the time.

Our lawn is dead. We refuse to go broke watering it!

I truly don't like my car anymore. The check engine light is on again...and we were just there last week!

My house is a mess and my cleaning motivation is running very low.
