Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!
    The basics:

    Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!) – join us and try it today!

This week’s theme is: School

    Long, lengthy summer
    Bored kids, hard working parents
    Cannot wait for school!

Work hard and study
Future so bright, so open
But it’s not easy

    Meet new friends, teacher
    Shy, awkward moments will pass
    Enjoy special time

Dancing parents laugh
Wave at ticked offspring, rejoice
House is ours again!


Next week’s theme: Numbers In celebration of a milestone birthday!

Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List (if you’re not listed and should be, please [politely] let me know!)

Sing it with me now:

It’s the Most WONDERFUL Time… of the year!!!

Anyway. Because she was away almost the whole summer, she had not yet seen the latest Harry Potter flick, so I sat through it again. I think I enjoyed it more the second time, because I wasn’t expecting anything that wasn’t going to happen. I was a bit disappointed the first time I saw it, because the book read in a more exciting manner than the movie was able to portray. The Teen enjoyed it though, and I enjoyed watching her have “Ah HA!” moments as key points were made clear.

On the way out, I fulfilled the Hubby’s only request for our evening out without him: Popcorn. The man is addicted to movie theatre popcorn.

The only question was: How to get a very full bag of popcorn home without dumping it inside my vehicle?

Voilà!

Ermmm… that reminds me, I need to wash Wee One’s car seat cover.

After, we stopped at Montana’s (Wee One calls this place “Hannah Montana’s”) for dinner. Popcorn baby waited in the car.
