It's partytime (nearly).

We are ready...

• The dry ice will start to fog our tables at 2:45.
• We have the dark blue cloths on the tables, strewn with gold and silver stars.
• Our professors robes are hanging in the closet and the children's robes are still ready (remember them from Halloween?).
• The star garland is strewn about the house.
• The sorting hat is ready. The nametags with house colors are ready.
• The dragon eggs are ready to be hidden (once I take the miscreants out for lunch).
• The house banners are up.
• The balloons are (mostly) placed.
• The cookies are ready.
• The potions class is prepared.
• Wand craft is ready to go.
• Transfigurations assignments have been determined.
• The Quidditch cake is here.
• Divinations tasks are ready to go.

Much glitter glue and sparkles will be involved. Lots of sugar and some scary punch will be ready.

This will be our first major-league kid party.

All we need now is 19 screaming children.
