The kids plan to go see the new Harry Potter movie with some friends later today. Maybe I'll finally get to go to the Ikea store.
We decided to supervise L's driving (to attend a birthday party) last night, but M let her drive home on the highway and it further boosted her confidence. In the past couple of years, the birthday parties have included both boys and girls.
K still loves the Disney movie 'Oliver and Company'. I pursuaded him to watch the original 'Oliver' (Twist) movie (1968) last night and we loved it. It brought back many memories for me, because I remembered seeing it as a child. The 'Dodger' character Jack Wild passed away in 2002 at about 50 years old. The 'Fagin' character Ron Moody is still alive at about 85 years old.
L just finished her tennis tournament, it was amusing to see her warming up in the back yard this morning before she headed out. She seems to be in such good spirits these days, lots of singing going on in the house. Everyone needs the summer to just unwind.

I haven't seen a movie in a year. However, I really do want to see Harry Potter and I want to see it at the theatre. I need to read that book again though. I've forgotten what was in it.
My son read Oliver Twist last year in school. He said it was the most depressing story he ever read! Oliver was the "original emo" and that there is NO WAY his (my son's) life could ever be that sad.
I would hope not, anyway. :)
Kay, the true Harry Potter fans love this movie, the others think it's 'ok' because it does help to know what's going on in the book.
Mr Bill wonder if he would appreciate the movie, now that he's read the book. It's a musical so it's not all sad.
Glad to hear you're having such a lovely summer. It's nice just to hang out, isn't it? But school is just around the corner. :-(
