Potter Sighting Update / Completion

So, it seems that vacation was a success when it comes to capturing some people at their best! I will go ahead and tell you that The Harry Potter Challenge has been completed. I have broken up them up into sections for your viewing entertainment.

The first section (#s10-22) are of people that I actually know. The second section (#s 23-36) are of ones that will definitely need an explanation. Don't worry, we didn't hold anyone down to get the picture, but we did bribe them!

I have been told that there needs to be a survey done on who will actually WIN the Harry Potter Challenge. I will be working on that here in the next week or so.

In the meantime, I do hope you enjoy!

Potter Sighting #s 10 - 22

Potter Sighting # 10Just for the record, Brian is a trooper. This is my cousin-in-law, and I have only ever met him once before this visit. I'm sure he was thinking, "Oh great! My wife's extended family is absolutely insane!" Guess what, Brian! You're right! We lost our minds quite some time ago! Thanks for playing!

Potter Sighting #11My cousin, Allison! You always were my favorite cousin, you know. I can remember thinking of how cool you were because you had four million Chuck E. Cheese tickets that you could redeem for some "spectacular" prize! It's so funny the memories that we have when we are kids! I can only hope to be as cool as you one day. : )

Potter Sighting #12Oh, Abigail! You are so tired of having your picture taken, aren't ya honey! She's got to be thinking, "Here comes that woman with crazy hair again! Mommy? Help?"

Potter Sighting # 13 Uncle Sam...I only hope that my Sam can be as good of a man as you! You're one in a million! Muah!

Potter Sighting # 14I have no idea who this woman is. She insisted on being a part of The Harry Potter Challenge because she had heard of its popularity on FOX News! She actually chased the minivan down somewhere in Southwest Virginia while holding a Publisher's Clearinghouse Notice and demanded that she be part of the game. Whatever lady, ya crazy loon! You're part of the game now! Happy?!?!

~~~Love you~~~

Potter Sighting # 15Good ole' Elle. Poor thing. All she wanted to do was chase the tennis ball. Silly humans!

Potter Sighting # 16Nonee had no idea what we were doing to her. All she knew was that it was absolutely hilarious. Aunt Corny just kept laughing, so Nonee kept laughing. This one was quite possibly the most fun I had taking. You'd never know it, but she has 22 Great Grandchildren! Awesome lady.

Potter Sighting # 17

I feel sure that Bart hates me now, and I can completely understand. Poor guy. My camera had a severe delay on it, so every time Bart saw the red-eye flash, he assumed that the picture had been taken. Ultimately, we took about 5 pictures. Sorry, Bart. Blame Patti! : )

Potter Sighting # 18

Speaking of Patti....It was SO NICE to see you in good spirits! You look great...even with the Harry Potter Glasses on! Wuv you, pookie!

Potter Sighting # 19

Katie's eyes are red for a reason! She hates nearly everyone but Patti, sometimes Bart, and occasionally Cody! Sammy just cries when he sees her, but when it comes to Patti, there's no one better! That's her Mommy, and she is very clear about that!

Potter Sighting # 20

Poor Log dog..I mean, Wally! We're rootin' for ya pup! Keep up the exercise and healthy eating, and you'll be at your goal weight in no time! Look at it this way. You've already lost 2 or 3 neck rolls, so at least you can itch your legs which, by the way, we can see again! In no time, you'll be able to do all sorts of things! You're an encouragement to us all!

Potter Sighting # 21

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday, Dear Mojo! Happy Birthday to you!

Potter Sighting # 22

Oh, the things we do to you, Susie and what you put up with. It's only going to get worse, sweet puppy. Emily will be here in no time!

And this concludes the "I know these people" portion of the Harry Potter Challenge.

The "I have NO idea who these people are" section.

So, Rusty and Cody decided that they would participate in The Challenge with me. I'm so glad that they did. It has just made this experience all the better. We were at a mall in Roanoke, VA. We had just finished eating lunch, and I had to "shuttle" a few family members across the street to my Nonee's apartment. I left the "Boys" at the mall with the camera and the glasses.

I was gone for 8 minutes, and these are the result of some serious talking.

TEN PEOPLE AGREED TO LET THEM TAKE THEIR PICTURE!!!

Rusty told all of these people that they were part of a project that Cody had to turn in at the beginning of the next school year. One lady actually questioned him, with "What class is it for?" My quick thinking hubby said that it was for "Civics" class. I don't even know if Cody's school even offers a "Civics" class, but nonetheless, here they are. Random strangers posing for the camera with these ridiculous glasses.

Woo Hoo!! Jackpot! The Harry Potter Challenge is Complete! Thanks, boys!

Potter Sighting #s 23 - 36

This last section was just silliness (if the rest of the Challenge wasn't considered silly, that is).

These are glasses holders that Aunt Corny saw in Wal-Mart. At that point, we didn't know if we had enough participants in the challenge, so this was basically insurance. I still like the one with the saggy boobs (the 3rd one)! That's hysterical that Wal-Mart would advertise the sale of glasses on some "saggy boobed figurine". Ha!

I'd like to thank you all for participating in The Harry Potter Challenge this summer(even if you didn't know you were a participant). It certainly has been a blast! I'll have to think of something really good for next year, so beware. I'll be back.
