All the Colors of the Rainbow...take 2

Jello Jiggle Beans, Rainbow Fish & Fruit loops, V8 fusion juice

Applesauce w/ Rainbow Sprinkles, Rainbow Rice w/ broc and Chicken, Rainbow Cupcake.

A few weeks ago when there was no theme we did rainbow colors so this time we tried to find things that had all colors in each food. Em enjoyed making the rice colored w/ me. I made the cupcakes a few weeks ago for story time snack and saved one in the freezer for this weeks lunch. It was a fun lunch and I love the rainbow that she drew.

Easter MTM!

Chicky Cheese, Bunny Yogurt, Strawberry Milk, Bunny Food Carrots and Ranch, Bunny Ham Pieces, Easter Egg Jelly Beans.

Since it was No Theme we decided to do Easter. Once again everything was a hit...except the yogurt for some reason today. They ate the ears, eyes, nose and whiskers but were not interested in the Yogurt part. I hope everyone had a great Easter and have a great week!

Purple and Blue foods

Blueberry yogurt w/sprinkles, Plums, Grape Juice
Purple fish crackers, Rice crispy treat w/ frosting and sprinkles, Cream cheese & grape jelly on whole wheat flat bread.
I also made purple pasta wheels w/ butter and Parmesan cheese but they were not done when I took the picture and she couldn't wait any longer. My kiddo must be going through another growth spurt because she ate everything except the fish including 2 helpings of the pasta wheels.
I see next weeks theme is canceled. We will be having company for the next couple Mondays so we maybe be missing a couple tins but we will be back. I hope everyone has a great Easter.

Sping is Here!

Cheese chicks, Pistacio salad, Butterfly cracker w/cream cheese
Fruit Leather flowers, Corn Beef, Carrots
Since there was no theme I tried to make it springy but we had our family St Patrick's Day dinner yesterday so I included some left overs from that. Emilee cleaned every cup out and then ate some more. The other little girl I watch ate more than usual as well and tried at least everything.
My mom is starting to get into the MTM now too. I was telling her about the rainbow theme coming up soon and some ideas. Yesterday when we went over she slipped me a rainbow twizzler she found while Easter shopping. I had to laugh!

Great Green!

Green milk, Kiwi, Avocado, Green fish crackers
Yogurt, Broccoli Alfredo pasta, Apples w/ Caramel dip

It was the first time for kiwi and avocados. She liked them both but loved the kiwis. There were so many green foods to chose from so we may end up doing it again on Wednesday. Happy St Patty's day everyone!

Cups full of sunshine!!!

Yellow chick chocolate; corn; Wheat bread chicks w/ yellow cream cheese
pineapple chunks; eggs w/ cheese; Yogurt

I babysat today and was a little reluctant doing MTM today but we were out all day yesterday so I decided to try. It was a little hard getting it ready because so much was going on but I was happy with the results and surprised at what the other little girl actually ate of it. After they saw the chocolate I moved them to the middle of the table until they ate the rest of their lunch. Em of course ate everything except a little bit of the corn. I did get the other little girl to try everything. She ended up liking the yogurt and cream cheese chicks. Now we are going out to play in the sunshine!!!! Have a great day everyone!

Red-Juice; Orange-Cheese dots; Yellow-Mac Salad
Green-Green Pea Crispies; Blue-mini M&Ms; Purple-Yogurt w/purple sprinkles.

I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else came up with this week.
