School starts tomorrow...this is what they wake up to!

Keeping with Newell homeschool tradition...this is what the kiddies will wake up to tomorrow.....Super Mario Brothers Theme....




Each has a goodie box...with M&M's, lollipop and smarties...the wax mustaches were a great find in Syracuse last week at the fair....


Good excuse for the milk bottles for some ice cold milk in the a.m.






Gum balls....


 Cupcakes for breakfast...yuppers...we CAN do that!

Happy back to school to the kiddos! Wow, what a way to kick off the first day of school. All I got was a scrambled egg & some toast. Can you adopt me please? I swear I will attend classes & be a good student!

That is crazy awesome. I just posted about how I came to peace with starting school with worksheets made from white paper and permanent markers and a shoestring curriculum. lol. I might have to go read my own conclusion again!

I can hear Mario now ... "Here we go"! Happy first day!
Happy first day Melissa! My kids would love to wake up to party decorations and sweets on their first day! We started on Aug. 1st and it's been nice to slowly work into our schedule and routines. Have a great day and year! Thanks for linking up with us at NOBH! So glad to "see" you!
Okay. Which kid would NOT want to be homeschooled when you start 'em off like this! Awesome!

We had a fun party (not quite THIS awesome) last year and I really wanted to do it this year and just couldn't get it all together. And I didn't feel well yesterday morning so I didn't even make rainbow pancakes. The kids were really bummed. I wonder if I can surprise them NEXT Monday and if it will still count?... ;)
Melissa N. said…
Amber of course it still counts! Go for it!

Thanks everyone...we love to celebrate at our home!

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
