here the answers to your questions... how did I scratch my eye, well it was stupid really. I was taking my contact out, i had a boo-boo on my thumb and raked it across my eye. OUCH!! but it feel much better today, yesterday really sucked!

ryan's party is going to be harry potter, i have thought about it and i think we are going to have broom races like in quiditch. other than that i'm not sure what else we are going to do.

the reason i said that stuff about allergies and cold medicine is because we finally figured out that ryan's separation anxiety was caused by an interaction from his allergy medicine and the cold medicine we were giving him for a horrible cold he had. it took a long time to convince ryan that it wouldn't happen again and give him the tools he needed to calm himself if he felt the fear coming on. he was more afraid of being afraid than anything.

kevin is doing well. he had his follow up today with the surgeon and he said everything looks good. his eye looks nasty but it will clear up in a few days. he has a lot of restrictions that are hard for him to obey. like no lifting, bending or and no sex...sad i know.

the reason for kevin surgeries....well he had a blood clot in his left eye and had a bunch of stuff done to fix it. he had many shots in his eye, while awake...ouch. they gave him steroids to keep the eye from clotting. that worked so they put a small pump in his eye to give him the steroids he need so he wouldn't have to get the shots. that worked, then the the steroids gave him a cataract. yes at less than 40 years old he had a cataract. well he had a surgery to remove that. well now the little pump they put in his eye gave him glaucoma. crazy i know. so he had lazer surgery to try to get his eye pressure dowm 10 days ago...that didn't work. so yesterday he had a tube stent put in his eye to keep his pressure down. let's pray this works because we can't keep putting the drops in everyday that make his eye hurt so badly and he can wear a contact or anything. it has been very painful for him and very expensive but hopefully it has been fixed!! that is it the whole long story.

i think i got them all. bye bye now

i will think of Harry Potter stuff and get back to you so you can decide from a long list of things.

I saw the HP books at goodwill the other night for .50 for the hardcovers. There were 3. i don;t know how many there actually are but they had 3. I didn't buy them because we will not be doing Harry Potter. I figured they were pretty pricey books new though. They looked perfect.

Kevin's eye stuff sound horrible. I KNOW i would be a total baby abotu that if it were me. I am worried about him. I hope he is okay.

decorate small craft store brooms as an activity

have magic potions as their drinks (soda so it fizzies)

add food coloring to the pop

give them all a magic wand (make them by covering dowel sticks with alum foil or something??)

decorate with alum foil cut outs if moons and stars like the dude's hat

have a caldron (I think i have a halloween one somewhere) filled with dry ice so it smokes sitting out

for favors, roll up HP coloring sheets that you printed online

make that funky hat as your cake..that would be cute

hand out simple capes to all the kids.

You can sew them easily THINK OF THE PICTURES

have the kids participate in making some kind of stew

have plastic rats and frogs sitting every where

Since i have never seen a minute of the movies,. I don't have much...sorry

I've never seen the movie either. Sorry can't be more helpful, but as usual, Sonya stepped up with some great ideas!

I'm sorry about Kevin's eye problems.....that must be so painful and irritating to deal with, poor guy!
