Happy Fall Y'all and our week in Pictures

This week was another busy, but fun one!  We apple picked last Sunday after church with cousins. Always a fun time at the orchard.  We live in the Hudson Valley of NY (about an hour North of NYC) and there are quite a few orchards in our area.  We always go to the same orchard and the children have known this as an annual tradition in our family.



Last Friday, Molly was recognized for her entry into the Sustainable Warwick poster contest.  She created a poster trying to persuade people to do away with plastic bags and bring their own fabric bags to the store.  It was a nice reception and nice to see her honored for her efforts.

Her poster is at the bottom right next to her.  She was very proud!  As were all her family!


Public schools were off from school on Wednesday to observe the Jewish holiday.  We invited a few friends over to stay the night and hang out with us.  The girls put on a fashion show and painted some pumpkins. While the boys gravitated towards the trampoline and video games. It was a fun time for everyone!  



I am prepping the camper for the last trip of the season this weekend. Camping with our BFF's and the weather is looking PERFECT for cool fall camping!  

 In case you missed any posts this 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...
