Kids have a renewed Love for school now...

So today was our annual trip to the Ikea store (about an hour away from us). Every year I have this vision of such an organized house/school and every year I gain some knowledge about what it really means to be organized. 8) So today one of the "finds" at Ikea was this art easel. Wooden with a chalkboard on 1 side and a white board on the other. Has a nice size tray and a bar that you put a roll of paper on (which we bought also). The easel was ONLY $ 14.99! It's a real good size. So it sat put together for about a hour in our school room/playroom. Then Molly asked if she could use the white board and draw...sure...then Zachary came in and wanted to check it out....within an hour we were all around this easel and I was giving them "Challenges" on the white board. For Zachary it was math problems and spelling...for Molly it was shapes and patterns..threw in a couple of letters and numbers also.

They were SO excited that when I had to stop to fix Eric dinner (he got home real late tonight) they were mad at me and yelling. Then I heard Zachary giving Molly "challenges" on the board.

It was time for showers and wash up and they were again mad...lol...I hope this mood lasts a while...lol...looking forward to using it a lot this year!

I hope everyone had a great day.

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
