Chewlee had a fun day today according to her... She went over to play with a neighbor's little boy and then went to the store with them. She gave half of the money to the little one so he could buy something for himself. It was generous of her since she gave him $5.00, which was half of what she had brought with her. As for herself, she bought a small diary-like book and a kit for decorating almost anything. She decorated her little book and decided it was her *journal*. I'm not sure she actually knows what a journal is but she figures it's for recording dreams she remembers when she wakes up and things like that (her words). At least she doesn't think it's a diary (which she has and it has a lock on it...LOL).
We watched both Harry Potter movies and she noticed a few things that she hadn't before. She even started to cry at one of the sad scenes in the last episode. THAT requires concentrating and understanding of the story. She had seen both episodes before so she kept getting distracted by other things and I had to make her watch so that she could find out the answers to several questions that she asked me about but I wanted her to discover for herself. She would tell me what she thought was going on and I told her if she was right or wrong. I even rewound the DVD a couple times so she could re-see the event.
She claims she has read the first Harry Potter book and they have it at home. I'm going to check on that with the Princess since Chewlee wants to bring the second book home with her to read. She reads on a much higher level than her grade so I will let her bring it home with her IF she has read the first book. Then the Princess can read it, too and return it for the third one when done. There are seven books (although there are eight DVD's due to having to split the movie into two episodes for the last book which was about double the size with all that occurs). I really hope her interest lasts and she finishes up all the books. I also hope the Princess is prepared to answer questions about things Chewlee may not be familiar with. Even after all the times that we have seen the movies, she still had to ask me what a *muggle* was....LOL. I admit that it's not really something that occupies a LOT of the movie (they are non-magical, hence ordinary, people).
She wants to go play with Sam again in the morning. I told her we were leaving at noon to go to her Aunt Cee's house before I took her home. I have to stop on my way home to buy some coffee creamer (I may try the Bailey's Irish Creme one and see if it measures up). I can't afford to buy Bailey's these days. Not with the Beast buying a new camera (even if he DID get a trade-in allowance for a camera he sent in) and a new lens and a complete catalog size instruction book on all the various uses and settings for the new camera. We had to pay our house taxes this month, renew our plates on the cars (expensive) and next month is car insurance for the next six months. *Sigh* It never ends, does it?
Tomorrow another fairly cool day albeit not extremely cold (high expected of 52) but it does mean a warm jacket. I washed Chewlee's clothes tonight along with mine so she will only have the clothes she is wearing and a pair of pajamas that her mother will need to wash from this visit. I even washed her socks although they were so clean that she probably could have worn them for another day.
Cee said she would let Chewlee play the games she likes on Club Pogo for a bit when we get there. But I want to get Chewlee back home and myself WAY before dark, especially since I have to make the stop on my way home. Poor Chewlee wanted to see a picture of her cousin, Hunter, and kept asking me how old he was. I know Hunter is older than she is but really can't remember how much older. Wouldn't you know it, there was not a single picture posted of him on FB today when I checked. I forgot to check his dad's page but I didn't tell her that when I realized I hadn't.
Time to get this posted then take my shower, put on my jammies and join Chewlee in bed. Love you all. I wish you better weather than most of us have had over the last few days. Be careful and very cautious. Drive with extreme care. ***Hugs***
