Collage Friday

Yes my friends - June is in full swing...rain has made everything so green and lush here in NY!  We are preparing (as you read this) to leave for a week long camping trip in our new Travel Trailer!  What I am looking forward to the most.... NO COMPUTER for the kids to sit in front of!  More time with ME outdoors!  Hubby will be there for the Father's Day weekend and then back home for the work week..coming back to get us on Friday.  SO I am doing this solo!  Pray for me please!  Pray for great weather!  My mom (aka Bubby) will be coming up to visit for a few days also!  



We are off to Jellystone (only about an hour from our home...)  great for the children and we are so familiar with this campground kinda feels like a 2nd home!  We are new to their RV sites though! 


This picture was taken LAST FATHER'S Day Weekend - we camp with our BFF's (they were nursing a sick child for Mother's Day weekend so they had to cancel if you remember)  So see our 2012 Celebration with a CHEERS Theme - you can click HERE)  

Sunday was the ending to the Sunday school year for the children. It was a Youth Sunday service where the children did a lot of participation.  Zachary received his very own bible (which he was sooo happy about). He has been reading every day since!  All the children sang and the girls helped with collection.  It was a very inspiring service!



We were able to sneak in a few Science Experiments this week - the one shown above - making our own Lava Lamps!

Below picture:  Studying about Flag Day (June 14th). The children looked into other state flags as well and made their Own Unique Flag.   


We crossed out items on our Spring Bucket List and printed our new Summer One.  You can find ideas and free printables for Summer Bucket Lists at this POST from earlier this week.

 If you follow me on Instagram...watch for camping adventure pictures! Wish me luck!

Oh, you can do it! I've ALWAYS camped alone with my kids, even when they were just 6, 3 and an infant! (My youngest went on his first TENT trip at 12 weeks old.) I'll admit it's MUCH easier now that they're 14, 11 and 8! :wink: LOVE camping, even if we're not able to do any this season. (We're saving all our pennies for our trip to Alaska in August instead.)

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...

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere!  I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season.   Zachary worked on the Women and Children of the Revolutionary War - and some fun Scholastic - Super Science!  He is always working on his IPAD playing Scrabble, Words with Friends, Monopoly, Stack the States and Stack the Countries. The girls and I talked about what is happening outside with the plants and animals. Waking up!  Sammie also enjoyed this Sofia the First Unit. We had so much fun making our Chocolate Volcano Cakes from our Raddish box this week.   Of course some Spring crafting was in order. We made these easy cupcake paper and button flowers pictures. Also using some kitchen sponges (for stamping)  from dollar store to make these beautiful spring cards.  Thursday Science - again going to our Raddish box and finding a cool experiment. ...
