Wrapping my head around it all....

Here we are beginning of August....schooling away (we school all year) and I have not wrapped my head around the "new school year yet"....which for us, starts middle of October.

We are starting the Road to the Presidency in September along with some Fall units, but back to school Full Time wont happen until we return from our vacation (one of the HUGE benefits of homeschooling - Disney mid October - not busy!)

This past weekend we had our Annual - Camp Newell - Family Camp Out - it was a blast and the good Lord answered my numerous prayers about the weather - skies opened up to thunderstorms a few hours after the last camper had left the property!

Thank You God!

We are still watching and tracking medals in the Olympics and the children are truly enjoying this!

This week is extremely busy with playdates and the 1st concert for Molly and Zachary - going to see Big Time Rush (with another mom friend, her daughter and myself). It's at an outdoor venue where they sit on blankets - perfect for kids! Looking forward to that....plus other things happening here and there....

I have not even wrapped my head around next year's curriculum yet either! Yikes - I am sure I will figure it all out - praying about it!

Enjoy your Monday and Be Blessed!

It looks like your annual camp out was a HUGE success. I enjoyed seeing your updates, along the way, via FB. Glad the weather cooperated. I am sure you made lots of great memories.

We started school today...although I think we should have started AFTER the olympics! :) I love your Disney comment though. We have a Disney cruise booked for October! We always do Disney in the off season. :)

I totally know how you feel! This was me a month or two ago! Just keep praying about it and I know you will be able to wrap your head around it all!

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
