1st Field Trip of the school year..Bronx Zoo

So last week had it's highs and very lows for school. This week I decided to throw a field trip in there for some variety. We went to the Bronx Zoo for the morning. We try to go once a week one the weather gets cooler. Kids had fun..we learned SO much today. The crowds are all gone since kids are back in school! Kids are already asking to go back...next week I told them!

We also got a great surprise in the mail...our package from the Book Samaritan came today! They are an organization that helps our homeschoolers with curriculum and books. Helps alot when you have three little onces homeschooling...The cost is nothing but a stamp on the envelope to request your books....see picture as to what we all got. The kids are excited!

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
