Harry Potter is Real!

Preston and Calvin finally started school today.  Thank heaven, it's only been 5 weeks!  The real news though, is that prefects, head master's, and houses are all very much a part of the Edinburgh school system.  The primary school is sorted into 4 houses, whilst the secondary is made up of 6.  All of the houses are named after neighborhood streets.  Calvin's teacher  is Mr. Diagon, as in diagon alley!  For lunch Preston had a meat pocket, which was basically a very large breakfast sausage wrapped in a pastry dough (think pig in a blanket.)  They both had great days at school.  Only Owen is without a teacher, so we will continue to play all day and eat biscuits for snacks.  For dinner tonight we had jacket potatoes.

Calvin, ever practical, wouldn't unzip his jacket to show me his uniform because it was cold out.

Preston isn't wearing his striped green tie because he bought it this morning on his way to class. I was so tempted to use my eyebrow pencil to draw a lightening bolt on his forehead, but he would't let me.
