Orange you glad???

Orange juice

We have been talking about the color orange all week. I decided to focus on how red and yellow make orange so we did a couple activities around that. We made red, yellow and orange Play dough with food coloring. We also made an orange crayon by melting some broken red and yellow crayons. She enjoyed making both but I think she liked the end product better.
For this weeks lunch I also was able to go to target and find some cute little flower cups for her. This was the very last set so I was really excited to find them especially since they only cost a dollar. This will be our last MTM because we are going to star doing it on Sundays but I will still post with everyone on Monday. I babysit another 2yr old and 7 month old and will start having them on Monday and Tuesday. I figure I will be pretty busy on Mondays plus these lunches have kind of become a special treat for my DD. I hope everyone has a great week.

The color of LOVE lunch!

watermelon yogurt w/red sprinkles, strawberries, strawberry milk,
red bell pepper w/ ranch, ham and cheese pizza, red heart cookie.

Today involved a couple of firsts for my Em. We don't usually sugar up our milk but I decided to give her an EXTRA special treat. She loved it so I may just have to let her have it every once in awhile. For now, we will keep the nesquick hidden in the back on the shelf. Another first was the pizza which she also loved. I'm not sure why we haven't done this before. She loved to help make them and it was supper quick and easy. The peppers were also new to her but she was not very into them. That is alright with me because she eats all kinds of veggies. I almost did radishes which she likes but opted for something new. I love seeing all the tins and what everyone comes up with.

Sicky Chicky Muffin Tin Monday.

Since there was no theme this week and the kids have been icky sicky we just went for a simple MTM. Usually this would be her #1 requested meal but today her only interest today was the oranges and juice. She didn't even want her cookie. Hope she gets feeling better soon.
Oranges, heart sugar cookie, juice, chicken nuggets, fries, ketchup.

Seuss is in the House!

This morning we had Green Eggs and Ham! I couldn't find the book so I was not able to read it to her. Our Dr Seuss collection is seriously lacking so we will be starting one now. My good friend did lend us some books so we were able to complete our MTM lunch. We will be Seuss all week.

We also made a Seuss hat for a fun activity today. I found that paper plates make wonderful hat rims. DD has got a cold and you can see it in her face. Poor thing! She had fun anyway and loved her MTM lunch.
