Finding our groove....week 3

So we start week 3 of our school year today...its a gloomy Monday. I am trying hard to learn to be flexible with the kids, taking ques from them. Zachary seems to be hot and cold when it comes to "book work"...somedays he begs for more...other days I can't get him to write his name even. I am finding it challenging to keep Sammie busy, at 16 months all she wants to do is "be" with us at he table (she is a climber). Molly seems real content with crafts, worksheets and consistently does her work.

We have our Co Op (1st one) "Homeschool Fall Camp" starting this Wed. The kick off is a carnival. I am providing three games, prizes and set up for the carnival. They are going to have pony rides, cotton candy, popcorn, playtime and more. This camp runs for 8 weeks, cost was $ 150, which I did not think was bad and that was for as many children as you have coming.

We also start soccer this weekend for Zachary and Molly. My hubby is coaching Zachary's team, however, we will miss the 1st game due to the fact that I am taking the kids camping on Friday - Sunday up north of here.

So starting off week 3, I think we will find time for the library this week...hoping some quality outdoor play if the weather holds out...a playdate or two...then packing for camping!

Hope everyone has 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
