Mathwarts School of Mathematical Wizardry: The fun begins!

After months of hard work and preparation, finally the adventure begins! Our school year adventure this year is called "Mathwarts School of Mathematical Wizardry". Taking a Harry Potter theme and combining it with mathematics. Today (Harry's birthday!), the kids got a special delivery from an owl.

A wax sealed envelope with the Hogwarts crest especially addressed to each one of the kids.

The letter contained their acceptance into Mathwarts!

And a supply list! We will be going to "diagonal" alley in August to pick up all their supplies!

The kids were very excited! Elijah had tons of questions and kept pacing around the house with his letter asking when we'd get to go to "diagonal" alley to get the supplies. They all can't wait for our Adventure School year to begin!

And, of course, we had to have a cake for Harry's birthday! I used my castle cake pan and envisioned a beautiful replica of Hogwarts castle. Um.....didn't work out. So, with the help of sprinkles, I am now calling it a Filibuster Firework Cake. No matter what you call it, it was delicious and the kids loved it! It was a great way to celebrate the beginning of a new adventure!
