Harry Potter and the Uncle Casey

I'm going to take a moment and throw chronological blogging out the window to bring you this brief update of current events!

Every night I take a half hour to read the kids a story while they lay in bed. We started to read the Magyk series, but quickly switched to a book with some REAL storytime magic: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It just so happens that Uncle Casey, another Potter freak, was hanging out at our house around bedtime, so he read to us.

Ethan listening intently to the story of Harry speaking to the snake at the zoo.


I asked Casey to "do the voices" like I do, but he only gave us the British nanny look:


Nate and Kate snuggling up with their favorite Uncle Casey.


Uncle Casey and all his adoring minions. (Best storytime EVER! Apparently it just takes a Casey to make it so they don't goof off during storytime.)


(Please excuse Alex's skivvies. He had just taken a bath and was creamed down.)


We can't wait for Casey to come read to us again!
