Carschooling 8)

Yesterday was an awesome day! We had been planning a trip North to see friends who recently moved about 2 1/2 hours away. After having to postpone 1 time, we finally made it. The kids were up early, packed up and left by 8 am! I had not "planned" on schooling (formally) however, it just naturally happened. Our Letter of the Week is "H" this week and the children were just naming things left and right that they were seeing on the way with H in them. Billboards, signs, side of trucks...words were everywhere! We traveled through the Catskill Mountains and were in awe of the colors of the leaves. The children were great on the trip and kept coming up with H words the entire way.

While we were there having fun with our friends, we even broke out their white board and "had school"! The kids just gravitate to learning. We had a nice time with our buddies and the ride home everyone slept!

When we got home, I made homemade pizza and then the kids wanted to do their usual Monday work in their workbooks etc. I did not argue 8)

All in all and great day carschooling and more!

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
