We put our food in our "Spiders and Webs" Wilton pans

For both...yeah me!!

Frankenstein fingers (taquitos)

Muffin Tin Monday- Lunch for Little Bear

My kiddos are 

psychotically obsessed 

in L-O-V-E 

with 

Little Bear!

Stories by Else Holmelund Minarik

So with our new Bear Silicone Cups, our theme for Muffin Tin Monday was

Lunch for Little Bear!

 A peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich cut with our star sandwich cutter-

Apples cut with our new animal bear cutter-

"A fishing rod" (a licorice string and a straw) with a "salmon" (cheese slice)-

The "moon" (Babybel Cheese)-
Blueberries

TRES had "salmon" cheese slice, blueberry yogurt "clouds", bear shaped apples,
blueberries, and cherrios!

This was probably the hardest MTM I had ever done because the kids were so excited... I think they velcroed themselves to my legs screaming "can we eat now?"


Little Bear didn't make it to lunch but my "Little Bears" sure did enjoy their tins!

UNO

DOS

Muffin Tin Monday- No Theme

Once again, we begin the week with Muffin Tin Monday!!

We are moving and my dad packed my kitchen...and the muffin tins!  I went to buy some of the baking cups but really couldn't stomach the idea of spending $ 10 for 10 baking cups.  I went to get some last minute birthday items for DOS' party when I stumbled on these in the garden section at Hobby Lobby!

 

YEAH!! They sell for $ 3.99 (for 8 baking cups)...GASP...and then at 50% off they were a steal!!

 

GRAPES- EGGS-CHEESE-PRETZELS & CHOCOLATE

UNO with his choice- Pretzels & Chocolate
