Accio Chompsticks!

Tomorrow marks the official start of our week long silly celebration. It's the second annual #Chompsticks!

Since my family was chomping at the bit to get started, we had our first photo shoot today. It was Harry Potter's birthday, so we pulled out all the stops for our geeky fun.


UntitledWe started by setting up our Potter goodness, complete with chocolate frogs and the Lego game.

About the Book (from the publisher) From the first moment Morgan can remember, Claire has always been there. Big sister and little brother. Cat and Mouse. They’ve always understood each other, saved each other, seen each other. And they stuck to their own personal code, unwritten but understood, that siblings were inseparable, that they had each other’s backs, no matter what. At least, they used to.
