Let me tell you about our crew... Momma L- I dig pretty shoes- that are comfy. And coffee, I love coffee. Big Daddy- He is gonna cringe if he sees this, lol. I also dig that. He loves playing basketball with the kiddos. JD- He is 14. He is sarcastic. He is a freshman in HS. He is a regular teen. Annoyingdotcom. I heart that. HN- 9 yr old math wiz and future rap star. Well at least that is how he sees himself. He currently is enjoying beatboxing, reading, and anything techy. Little Miss- 8 years old, loves my little ponies and her critters. She loves all things pretty. HW- 7 years old and if it has to do with construction,garbage trucks, or wild life...he's there! He is my little funny man. Baby O- 4 years old and fancies herself fancy. She enjoys all things dolly, tea party, or shopping related.

wizards and magical wonderment

So as I sit here I am staring at the mound of clean laundry that I am going to fold....just after I type this of course, the kids are having a movie day, instead of nap- Harry Potter, HW's first time watching it, and I have to chuckle to myself. HN is always carrying around a wand with him, casting spells, it cracks me up.
Now some folks would want to take this up with me, say that we are contradicting ourselves in saying that we love Jesus with all our hearts, but yet we allow ourselves and our children to have fun with watching things that have to do with wizards. To that I say, IT'S MAKE BELIEVE!! Do your children walk around the house and pretend they are dogs, or cats, or horses? Do they really believe that they are going to turn into a horse or cat? Do you think that Jesus condemns you or them for letting their imaginative play roam free as children. I doubt it. My kids know that magic isn't real, but is it fun to pretend? You bet it is! Just like playing kings and queens, cowboys and indians, cops and robbers. All that stuff is fun! I am not letting Satan get a grab of their little hearts because Jesus is bigger and in our home Jesus is King.
Well maybe I can write a bit more later, there is sure alot going on right now, but unless anyone out there in cyber land has a magical spell "for reals" to fold all this laundry I better go. And I really want to get this all done, because I haven't seen the last Harry Potter yet. The boys on the other hand will have to be satisfied with just the first one for awhile, this momma does have movie standards, haha.
