Count von Count

Veronica attempts to count to 30...and comes up with her own numerical system in the process.

"The Deathly Hallows" Party

Veronica had a blast at the Harry Potter book party. She was sorted into Hufflepuff, worked hard on a Harry Potter word scramble, and enjoyed showing off her scars (one on her forehead and one on her hand). Her favorite snack of the night was a candy cockroach that looked a little too much like a real one. The party lasted from 9:00 pm till midnight, but after two full hours of fun, she was ready to hit the hay. Daddy took her home while Mommy stayed to get the book at 12:01 am.
(I'm sure you've noticed that Veronica is wearing the exact same outfit in the last three posts. She does actually own other clothes. This just happens to be a freak coincidence. I guess you can call it her official Harry Potter outfit!)

"Gryffindor!"

This Friday is the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" party, and lucky Veronica got a sneak peak of the festivities today. She received an official Ollivanders wand, and she tried on the sorting hat. I didn't hear which house Veronica's in, but I'm sure the sorting hat said, "Gryffindor!"

Wild About Harry!

Veronica saw the new Harry Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," this afternoon with Mommy & Daddy. The movie was long, and she squirmed a little, but she really did enjoy herself and the large box of Jr. Mints. Since Veronica is wild about Harry (she has all the movies and books so far), it was no surprise. Even her new puppy had a good time.
Some Harry Potter "Veronica-isms" include...
"Harry Potter Baby" (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)
"Harry Potter Snake" (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)
"Harry Potter Dancin'" (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
"Harry Potter & the Phoenix" (Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix)
"Harry Potter Penglin" (The Harry Potter preview at the beginning of "Happy Feet")
She doesn't have a special name for any of the others just yet, but she still watches the movies every chance she gets, and the last book we read at bedtime has to be a Harry Potter book. Like I said, she's a fan!

4th of July fun

It was a very casual Independence Day at the Woods house this year. We invited Boom Boom over for grilled brats and burgers, and Veronica entertained us with some graceful swimming moves.
