What a busy week!

EDITED THIS POST at 5:25 PM - I just came across this blog post by a friend and I recommend reading it to ANYONE! http://kronosmatters.livejournal.com/2011/02/28/


It's been one busy week...started on Monday with our Carnival for a Cause which was exceptional....Tuesday we had our homeschooling time with our American History friends....Wednesday stayed in and worked on September back to school plans, Vacation Bible School (which is next week) and Disney plans...today took the kids to The Dollar Tree to spend the $ 10 GC that their Bubby gave them to buy some fun things for the long car ride to Florida....now I am working on our Backyard Campout which we are hosting a week from tomorrow........busy busy busy....sneaking school in here and there...
(FYI - my dad is home from the hospital - thanks for the prayers)



"Look Mom..for you..."  Thanks Sammie


copping a squat on the floor of the Dollar Tree counting out
their items...each could buy 9 items with $ 1 left over for tax...


They checked out all themselves with their card and their fabric bags...

I was able to find a TON of Disney stuff there to bring with us....whenever they
ask for one of the high overpriced Disney Princess or Cars items..I can pull out 
something I purchased and make my budget happy!

My kids love going to the Dollar tree with their own money. It is so fun to watch them pick up and look at every item to see if it will be the one going home with them! :) Hope you will be able to find some rest for yourself after that busy week! :)

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
