Welcome Summer - it's a Bike Wash!

We hosted a little Welcome Summertime Playdate today with a Bike/Trike wash!  

Kids brought their bikes, ride-ons and trikes and cleaned those babies right up...gearing up for Summertime!

I set up three stations for them.....Wash.....Rinse.....Dry.....when they had had enough, we ate lunch and played!  The weather is beautiful today here in NY!

Two fairies and a mermaid...





All clean....or are they?

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
