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!

All the Colors of the Rainbow...

Since there was no theme this week we did rainbow colors. At story time they read books about rainbows and created a rainbow with homemade puffy paint. I am going to have to start thinking about blue/purple foods for our tin in a couple weeks.
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.

Orange you glad???

Rice crispy treat w/ orange frosting; Cantaloupe; Carrots
O for orange cheese; Chicken nuggets; Red & yellow make orange nugget dip
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.
