The barrowers

A few weeks ago I started reading the borrowers. It's about a 13 year old kid named Airretty and her mom Pod and her dad Homily who barrow things from humans. They live under the humans floor and are as small as a apple. When Airretty is told she can barrow she gets excited, excited until she is seen by a 10 year old Indian boy. I'm still not at the part where they say what the boys name is. Homily has also been seen by the boy when he was barrowing a dolls tea cup. When Arrietty does her second barrowing, her dad overhears Arrietty taking to the boy. When Arrietty borrows she has to where a red dress, her dad wears blue pants and a blue shirt. However Pod does not barrow.

    I never read "The Borrowers" but I believe it is a good read.

    We are all getting ready for the St. Patrick's Day parade here. Bryn will be walking with his football club and Cian with the Beavers. I hope it stays dry , at least while the parade is going on.
    On Sun. we have Mothers' Day . Cian has done a flower arrangement, in oasis, and has left it here so that Órla wil not see it. It turned out nicely.

    We had a very quite St. Patrick’s day here. We watched Adam play Basket ball. Edan was sad to see Ireland loose the Rugby Match. We wanted to go to "The Borrowers", but it had already left the movie theatres. I was very disappointed and hope it will come out on DVD soon.
    We played Mystery of the Abbey. Alanna won… again. Maybe Alanna should become a detective!
