Wrapping Up the Week - Collage Friday

Happy Friday!

Thanks for stopping by for our weekly wrap up. 

We are expecting some snow this weekend and I am praying they are not wrong. The kids and hubby have ski passes to a local mountain and it's killing me that the money is being wasted and I want to get out on the 4-wheelers and tear it up!


What happened here this week



Sunday:  Football and family - my older son and his wife and our "grandpuppy" came up for a visit. Fun snacks, dinner and oh that dessert! 

  • Working on the February plans for school.
  • Sammie and Molly: both have had some challenges this week with book work. I have tried to be patient with Sammie, but it's very hard sometimes. Pray for me please!
  • LEGOS:  Oh yes, the LEGO happenings..LOVING all of it and they are getting so creative with their play.


Where Are We Wednesday:  Hawaii

Reading a lot!  
HIGHLIGHT of the week:  We watched A LEGO Brickumentary (hour and 1/2) on Amazon PRIME (FREE). It was soooo great.  It went from the beginning up to current date with the history of LEGOS. IT was narrated by Justin Batemen (as the minifig above).  All of us learned so much.  


What you might have missed on the blog this week:

Monday Check in for No Spend January


What you did not see in pictures:
  • Martial Arts Class
  • Sewing Class
  • Trampoline Class
  • Presidential studies
  • CLEANING - LOTS OF CLEANING - Prepping the house to go on the market. Simplifying and decluttering. 


What I am obsessed with this week:

You Tube Channel:  Brothers Green Eats


What's happening this weekend:  

Hopefully skiing...packing for our vacation (leave on Monday) and more cleaning. We have 1 house to look at on Sunday afternoon. 

Hope you have a great weekend and you can find me linking up at these great blogs:

Those desserts look so yummy! And we're definitely going to be checking out the Lego movie! We got Amazon Prime for a Christmas gift and we rarely think to really take advantage of it!

Sounds like you accomplished a lot this week. That large pan cookie looks so good. You do a lot of out of the house activities. I don't know how you fit it all in!

I hope you got snow. We have about a foot. That cookie dish looks so good. I hope next week goes better on the book learning side.

So, how much snow did you get? It's kind of strange that it's the south getting the snow that we usually get! We didn't get a single flake out of that big storm. Sam would love that Lego Movie...but no Prime! :sigh: I hope you had a FAB time on vacation!

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...
