Tuesday - getting back slowly

It's Tuesday and a rainy day, which is fine with me, because I really need to get some

"housekeeping" items checked off my "TO DO" list today!

Kids were back into the swing of our school routine, slow but sure.

(Stopping the TV during the day is always a challenge after having

so much over the holiday)

Started some sentence structure and learning about Nouns today!

What we read...

Great book this time of year! Talks about cleaning out the rooms

Have a blessed day!

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.

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...
