It's the same thing, every summer, about this time, the kids shake down our mail carrier, desperately awaiting news of their teachers and classes for the new school year.
So, when I heard the SLAM! of our mailbox (our new carrier seems to be a wee bit crankier than usual, I don't blame him) and then Hope's feet running for the front door (she walks/runs like her muh-thuh!) I was hoping that the wait would be over…FINALLY!
[SLAM!…SQUEEEEE!]
I felt it safe to assume that…yep…they got their back-to-school letters.
"It's from….Hogwarts?!?"
They each received a personalized letter, addressed to The Brown House With the Star, sealed with wax and, well, really?!?
Yes, they looked really, really, um, real and, honestly, as self-proclaimed Potterheads, we ALL experienced a little pang of regret…okay, mostly me.
My youngest is graduating from elementary school, this year (SOB!) and has spent nearly her whole life, growing up, right here, on this little blog.
"Wow, I'm as old as the first Harry Potter movie?!?"
Aaaand, well, it's nice to be able to at least pretend like it was September, 2003, when being a mom, who happenend to have this thing, called a weblog, seemed a whole lot easier.
D'oh, alright, fiiiiiiine.
I'll even take 2006 (around the time I blew up my blog and lost 2 years worth of stuff…UGH!) just to be able to blog about all the things I should have (or, maybe shouldn't have) all over again.
"Wonder who sent it?!?"
Me, too!
"Hey, you think maybe J.K. Rowling reads your blog?!?"
So, I can send them the bill…you know…for all the therapy this poor kid is gonna need, you know?!?

I’m confused – did the SCHOOL actually send those, or did you order them from somewhere and have those sent? Because that is too cool! p.s. Look at how big Hope is!

I don't know who sent the letter, Elizabeth. My oldest found out that a friend of hers received one, too. There was no postage, so, 'tis a really fun mystery.

Hey Grumpy Grateful Mom (heh!) I moved from WordPress.com to a new domain and failed to upload my 2004 and 2005 archives properly. It still hurts to think about it.
