Back to Hogwarts Night

I took the kids to the Orem Library for Back to Hogwarts Night they held toward the beginning of September. Timing was good because Jr. Jr. had been reading Harry Potter books and discussing them with friends and family members.
They had quizzes (O.W.L. or N.E.W.T. Official Exams), crafts and activities, and even a "potions class." 
Our favorite part was going to see live owls.
You know we like birds. Birds are awesome.

When we got home, we got out a non live owl for Jet to play with because... owls are cool and he could continue on the Hogwarts fun. 
 Another nice evening at the Orem Public Library.

Family Activity

So while I was being "lazy," Jeremy was working hard at a fair in Twin Falls, Idaho- for several days that first week, then also on Labor Day. He didn't start first thing in the morning, though, so that Saturday, September 3, we did something fun as a family together. We already are in the habit of having prayers and sometimes scripture study over the phone when Jeremy is traveling. So why not do a little something more? Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was on Prime Video and we actually had the DVD checked out from the library as well. So the kids and I turned on the DVD, Jeremy started the movie on Prime, and we watched it "together." Then as we were watching, we texted comments back and forth. That was fun. We didn't get to finish the movie, though. Jeremy had to go work on his balloon sculpture and a little later kids were fighting enough I told them to turn it off.
We had Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps to celebrate International Bacon Day on the 3rd.
Lucky's loose tooth finally came out as he was eating his wrap. He'd been working on that tooth for a while.
 
Here is how Jeremy's fair sculpture turned out by the end of the fair (he added to it each day, except for Sunday. He doesn't work on Sunday. Instead, he went to church with our friends and visited with them, playing board games and such). I like how this sculpture turned out:

Music Video

We had an exciting family activity tonight. We ate snacks and watched my niece's music video premiere on YouTube. Jr. Jr. especially liked the "popcorn" part in the video. We ate popcorn as one of our snacks.
