Sunny Friday & Field Trip

Finally, Thank you Lord, the rain has stopped and the sun came out. I don't know how Noah and company did it, but our little town is still in recovery mode, pray for our town please! 


Today, as a tradition, I take the kids to Chuck E Cheese (aka CEC).  We go early when they open and like always, had the place to ourselves for a while (we feel special like the place is shut down to outsiders for a while..lol).  We also went to Pet Smart to say hi to our furry, feathered and scaly friends...then home for some more school..


Our stop at Pet Smart  - kids were cracking up at the hamster on the wheel running for his life...






Chuck E Cheese time


Molly won the Jackpot of 100 tickets on her 1st try!


Sammie is my ride girl!


We even brought a treat home for our cat...


What we studied today...


Zachary had his 1st spelling test of 2nd grade...

Score 100% and his handwriting was A+!




Molly working on some jigsaw puzzles on line.



Started our Endangered species studies...1st animal for September

The Giant panda...

found this lapbook over at Homeschool Share.







Panda bear craft with our paper plates



Found these panda cookies at Target in Syracuse...they were yummo and so appropriate!



Interesting creatures...loners, meat eaters, although bamboo makes up 90% of their
diet. 

TGIF...this weekend is a catch up weekend!

CEC is great fun when it is not crowded. What a fun tradition for the start of school. Thanks for sharing on the Field trip hop. Love the new banner and the beautiful pictures of your children:)
I love pandas! We covered them in our bear unit earlier in the year. CEC is perfect when it's empty, we haven't been in a long time.

YAY & Congrats on the 100% spelling test!

thank you so much for sharing on The Sunday Showcase. Hope to see you again this week - http://momto2poshlildivas.blogspot.com/search/label/Sunday%20Showcase

Those are great-looking lap books. I consider the pet store a good field trip, too, because you can see animals close up without spending any money.
CEC is a popular place for my kids, but it is so much more fun when no one is there for sure but us! Love your panda lapbook and fall photos on your banner!

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
