End of August/Beginning of September Celebrating

August 31 was National Trail Mix Day. I snacked on trail mix throughout the day.

September 3 was National Skyscraper Day. I watched Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol because it has that scene where Tom Cruise is hanging off the tallest building in Dubai.

Even though our ward is not doing girls camp this year, they still did the tradition of secret sister gifts recently. Nichole used her calligraphy skills and made a couple bookmarks for her girl. She also gave her a packet of gum and a book.

Here she is sealing the envelope with the bookmarks inside. 

I forgot to take pictures of the actual bookmarks.

Nichole's secret sister wrote her a nice note with a picture of a TARDIS she drew. She also made Nichole a TARDIS piggy bank. It was bigger on the inside to hold several goodies.

The young woman who put this together also gave the girls hoodies with a scripture printed on them.
3 Nephi 15:9 "for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life."

It's really good for early morning birding trips.

Flip a Coin Day 2015

June 1st is Flip a Coin Day.  Jr. brought out a coin he wanted us to use for making decisions.  It was a coin Jeremy brought back from Dubai when he was there in 2013.  I realized I never blogged about it, so now is the perfect time.

Jeremy was hired to create some large and extravagantly large sculptures for the Bubbles and Balloons Fiesta at the Dubai Marina Mall, one of the many malls in Dubai (this one apparently has yacht parking).

He got to work with Matt Johnson, the Cool Balloon Guy, and had a great time.

He also had a chance to do some sightseeing while he was there.

 

And he brought back coins for the kids.  What a nice guy.  And how helpful for Flip a Coin Day in 2015.
