I forgot to mention that we went to Diagon Industries (or Deseret Industries, Utah's version of Diagon Alley) to have each child buy a magical pet. Most chose frogs since they were in abundance in the toy alley, but two children picked cats. They have fun names: Phillip Johnny Bob, Vib, Lily, Snape, Squeaker, and I can't remember Evelyn's pet's name...
Our school shelves
We also had our first Herbology project about flowers. Each house "picked" six flowers to learn about and presented them to the family tonight. Leslie and Micah were very creative as they cut out water droplets with facts on them, watered the matching flowers, and then had us drink chocolate mud milkshakes out of the "flower pots". Maybe I'm biased towards chocolate, but they did a great job! Jonas presented pictures and information on the computer. Troy and Owen made a larger than life presentation of a seed growing up and through Mamma's table (don't worry Mamma!) and told us some facts from their flowers.
And Micah's face? He scraped it when he fell from running at the park. We wish he had a cooler story like he was playing Mario Kart in real life and skinned his cheek off, but we'll have to stick to the truth this time.

Dresden, you are such an AMAZING mom! These are such great ideas. :)
Love it!
You guys are so creative and so fun! I love that! You have had some fun adventures this summer - that's awesome! And we miss you guys! Do you know that most of the time at church your row is empty. I'm thinking you should just come back and fill it up! Hope all is well! :)
