Although, we were scheduled to take summer off, I am seriously thinking of starting our lessons early. My kiddos seem to be more and more restless, especially this week...all I would need to hear is one "Mom, I'm bored!" statement to tip me over the 'OK-I-Think-Summer-Vacation-Is-Over' edge. :)

PS - I just noticed your cute new header!

Just "hopping" over to visit from the HHH. :-)

It looks like your children were having a great time with some awesome materials. And, I love the matching flag shirts.

Have a blessed night,
Lisa

Looks like it was a great day. Does this mark the beginning of a new school year, or do you go all year, taking periodic breaks?

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
