Merlin, I'm old. Only three more years until I turn forty. I shudder to think about it.

Well, I had a very nice surprise of having breakfast served to me this morning. And Arthur insisted I take the day off from any household duties other than the bare essentials and I must admit... it was nice to be able to relax for a bit. And the boys were even ( Read more... )

Well, it took him three days to send an owl home, but Bill finally wrote back to let us know that he'd been sorted into Gryffindor. Which wasn't a surprise at all. We're all so proud of him, and I know Fabian and Gid would be as well ( Read more... )

I think we've got everything (or mostly everything) ready for Bill's departure to hogwarts in a couple of weeks. We made another trip to Diagon Alley yesterday to pick up a few things that hounded us on the previous visits.. It's pretty busy there now, good Merlin. Thankfully we managed to get a table at Fortescue's to fit all of us. I figured a ( Read more... )

It's been a month since I started to make lists of things I need to do before Bill goes to Hogwarts, and I've come to realise that I'm no further along in completing any of the tasks on it. Oh dear. Oh well, I still have a month. Although I really am hoping to get the first visit to Diagon done next week ( Read more... )

I've come to dislike rainy days, because it means the boys are stuck inside and are running around in here as opposed to running around outside which is far more favourable to my sanity ( Read more... )

As much as I will miss Bill when he goes to Hogwarts next year (I can't believe the time is nearly here), I will not miss the shenanigans he and Charlie get themselves into on a daily ( Read more... )

Well, I am glad to see that the newest members of the family appear to be settling in! Naturally, the boys were happy to learn that their newest cousins were also boys (Natalie, Eleanor, if either of you need anything, anytime, please don't hesitate to let me know). I think a short visit to both may be in order soon, if the Mums think that would be ( Read more... )

After the bout with the flu that Bill, Charlie, Fred and George went through last month, I am happy to report that everyone is now well and healthy ( Read more... )

( Private. )

I went to wake up the boys for breakfast, only to discover that sometime during the night Fred and George had taken to drawing patterns in ink on Percy's face while he slept. That poor child, he's going to be a bundle of nerves when he gets older! Maybe we should expand the upstairs a little moe to give Percy his own room.

Honestly, I don't know ( Read more... )
