I found this note on Alexandra's door the other day. I loved it! My kids are always putting up notes on their bedroom doors. Do your kids do this, too? I think my favorite part of this one is that she is charging a fee for breaking in! If you are having a hard time reading it, here is what it says -

"Private Property

Any entrance without my permission will result in a $0.10 fee.

Rules for My Room:

Treat my things like you treat yours

Be kind

Clean up what you get out

no fighting

No boys allowed!"

J., L., and Alexandra at their Harry Potter Trivia competition. I think that she has read every book in the series at least 3 or 4 times. She is a Harry Potter nut!

Anyway, she and 2 friends entered a competition in Dallas this past weekend. It was really fun for her. They all made a pact that they would not be angry or upset with each other if someone did really well and beat out the others. I was so worried that Alexandra would be the one who lost while her friends moved on to the other rounds. I shouldn't have worried - she moved on to the 2nd round while her friends went home! She came really close to making it through to the championship, but ended up being 3rd. Instead of staying to watch and see who won, she had us take her to get ice cream. :)
