The week before school started, we held our annual(ish) Harry Potter party!! We just had three families over so it was a small group but it was so fun. We ate and talked and laughed until midnight--I am so thankful for our dear friends and a chance to have one more big party before school started. It's been such a good summer & we've been able to see them almost every day, so this felt like a good almost-last hurrah to finish things out. 
Cute Gus loading up on Jelly Slugs (above) and Nathan (below) super excited for everyone to arrive. 
Some of the goodies
And some more (I didn't take pics after everyone got here, darn it!)
Our Polyjuice Potion looked unappetizing (appropriately so, I guess?) but was 100% delicious! (Rainbow sherbet + ginger ale +Sprite)
I missed taking photos of a few of the decorations, but the kids did a great job setting up as always! Isaac's friend biked over in the afternoon while we were prepping and invited Isaac to bike back with him until party time and Isaac was soooooo torn because he really loves the party prep. He eventually went with Mikko but insisted on eating a heaping serving of pumpkin custard and teaching Mikko how to make pumpkin pasties first. ;-)
And that's it for another year!
Just watch your step in the lavatory & keep an eye out for trolls. And Moaning Myrtle.
