Weekly Wrap Up


Happy November! 

Only a few more weeks left of 2015 - can you believe it?

Halloween weekend was perfect weather and lots of ghoulish fun!  We had another homeschooling family over for a little HomeGhoul Halloween Party.  Always a fun time! 

We trick or treated with friends after we went to the Halloween Haunted House at Sammie's martial arts school. 


People in our area really do it up right!
We really did not have too much "book work" this week and it was a nice break...
The weather was unseasonably warm this week here in NY and we took advantage of that by going to the beach/lake for the afternoon on Tuesday. 


We found so many animal prints in the sand on Tuesday.  From horse prints to deer to coyote and wild turkey.  It was fun looking for all the different prints. So many animals call this park their home - kinda surprised we did not see bear.

Wednesday the children went to their grandmothers for the day and night. She brought them home on Thursday late afternoon. I had a day and 1/2 to do whatever I wanted! Hubby and I had a much needed date night with a great dinner and live music.

Thursday - I shopped a little, rested a little, cleaned a little, organized a little, got a manicure and ran a million and one errands. It was a nice break but I missed them also.

This weekend - soccer games and some fun at the library with a crafty afternoon!

Enjoy the weekend and you can find me and other homeschoolers linking up at:

My son had the exact same Pikachu costume this year. He's still wearing it around the house as pajamas.

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...
