Bean had sports day at school today (yes, she is STILL in school, but Friday is her last day!). I really had no idea what to expect, it was from 1:00 to 3:30 and parents were invited. The school that she goes to has four "houses". Bean is in the House of Gosworth, and their team color is green. They wear ties in her school that reflect what house they are in by the color of the tie and they have house points awarded for various things. At the end of the school year, the sports day is the final event. All the points from the day and from the year are added up and a winner is proclaimed. Sports day involved lots of relays and races and Bean had a great day. Attached are a few pictures from her day. On another Bean related note: she is obsessed with wizards now. She actually wants to be a wizard and pretends to be one quite often, and even has her own "wand". I blame the Disney Channel on this (Wizards of Waverly Place). So we finally decided to let her watch Harry Potter - we figured with all this wizard fascination that she would enjoy the movies and we thought maybe she was old enough for them now. Well, she loves them - since Sunday she has watched The Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets and as I type this, she is watching Prisoner of Azkaban. What's funny is that now that we have lived in England, there are several things about the movies that I find interesting. The closet that Harry lives in during the first movie is exactly like our closet under the stairs in this house and they have "houses" in the school in the movie also. Such good timing for us to have a renewed interest in the movies. I am sure that Bean will want to keep watching until she reaches the end of them which is fine with us, as long as she doesn't want to go to school at Hogwarts, then we are doing ok.
