September Begins

September 1 was Johann Pachelbel's Birthday. Jet and I watched The Piano Guys "Rockelbel's Canon." Later, Jr. and Lucky did a little Canon in D on the bass.

September 2 was National Blueberry Popsicle Day. We have frozen blueberries. We have otter pops. Jet was trying to figure out how we could get the blueberries combined with the popsicles by putting them inside the wrappers. Ugh. I let him know it would be too messy... and sticky. 
 
September 3 was Skyscraper Day. We didn't put a lot of effort into it but we made a little skyscraper out of graham crackers and frosting. And since skyscrapers are tall, Jet and I talked about words that rhyme with tall. That came from the "Daily Fun With Your Little One!" calendar from Orem Library.

September 4 was Lazy Mom's Day. I was not lazy this year. I was so busy running errands and cleaning, etc. The kids did make dinner, though, and Jr. made no bake cookies for Eat an Extra Dessert Day.
Since it was National Wildlife Day, a few of us went up Kyhv Peak Road to see... turkey vultures... a kettle of turkey vultures. That way we also celebrated Turkey Vulture Day (observed) which was the next day, September 5.
Besides Turkey Vulture Day, September 5 was Be Late for Something Day. We were so late for an event (van troubles) that we didn't make it at all. I was sad. It was a potluck, too, so I ended up having to make dinner. I made salad with some of our garden veggies and bacon for International Bacon Day.
It was World Beard Day so Jr. showed me that he celebrated.
We started watching Seeking Persephone because I missed my monthly watching of it in August. I figured I was being late for something by watching it that day.

School Begins

School begins. Reading during pick up and drop off times begins.

It's that time of year. You better believe I was quoting Nemo. "First day of school! First day of school!"
I remembered to get first day of school pictures (oldest to youngest because they started on different days). 
Jeremy got in on the action. 
 
Before that, I got some going to the schools to pick up things or talk to teachers (and eat hot dogs) pictures. 

We have another string player this year. We joked for years about how the oldest played violin, the next oldest the cello, and the next oldest the viola in orchestra, so the next should play bass. 
He took it to heart. Ha Ha Ha Ha. This is NOT a full sized bass (it might be 1/4 size) and it's taller than him. Ha Ha Ha Ha. I love this family.
