It's been a wild week of extreme weather.
Friday, we enjoyed all enjoyed a day off from school and spent the majority of our time digging out.
On Saturday, we officially opened up our backyard ice rink.
It's been weeks nurturing the ice and this extra cold weather really helped get the ice nice and hard.
For my long time followers, you know that my husband loves Harry Potter and spends time each week reading Harry Potter during the lunch hour to two different elementary schools in his district.
Saturday night, was their annual Harry Potter Yule Ball.
Over 150 students were in attendance.
The decorations were nothing short of fantastic.
A truly magic evening.
Not sure how we're going to top the excitement of this past week.
Have yourself a magical week.
XOXO
The Harry P. event is SO neat! What a wonderful costume your hubby has, too. Enjoy your day...stay bundled up and warm! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteWow!! The Harry Potter event looks like a blast! Very very cool! And the ice rink looks super cool! :) Hope you have a great week! Maddy requests you send enough snow for a snow day to Nebraska please!;)
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I have a big Harry Potter owl from a candy company display. I have to figure out how I can ship that to your hubby. Wish we could go skating in your backyard. Caitlin has recently started skating and loves it. We go to our local ice rink but to have one in your own yard would be incredible. Have a great Sunday! I'm working on your swap item today :) so excited. Maggie
ReplyDeleteWow, that does sound like a fun full week! Love the snow shot:@)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you received alot more snow than we did, Kim! Love the shot of the snowflakes and your Christmas lights. Bet the girls are loving the ice rink. And who is that bearded gent?:)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness...you really have been busy! I love the idea of a Harry Potter ball. I loved the books, she is a brilliant author.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you were going to open the ice rink this year, I thought you would do all of your skating at the lake...but having it so close must be great.
I always wonder how you have enough time in your days to do all the magical things you do. Your family is so fun!
ReplyDeleteThey are finally building a seasonal ice rink in the sports park about a mile or so from here. I need to go check it out...when we have cold enough weather for ice that is! I love the idea that your husband reads to school kids...out loud reading time was the highlight of my school days. The kids won't forget it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time the rink will provide!
ReplyDeleteThat Harry Potter guy of yours is a great guy!
You are so lucky Kim, I have been wishing for a snow storm here in mid Missouri but we just aren't getting one, or have not had one! Your ice rink looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteTake care and stay warm!

Oh that ice rink is so nice. I never could skate. I think it was the fear of falling through. It is cold. It has been a week of weather here. Two school days the first week after the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYour husband looks great. Love that wig.
Stay warm.
Holy cats! You guys are getting drilled with snow! We have freezing cold temps but little snow.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your colored lights and ice skating rink. You guys make winter look sooo fun!
Sounds like such a fun week! The Harry Potter Ball looked like it was so much fun. What an awesome idea!

My brother-in-law would be so into that Harry Potter event! It looks so fun! And so does the ice skating- I loved ice skating when I was younger, but I don't know if my ankles could handle it now!!
