Muffin Tin Monday and more

Here is our Muffin Tin from yesterday. The theme was supposed to be "Food Picks, Skewers and Kabobs". I don't have anything for tooth picks. It was suggested to use pretzel sticks with fruit/cheese or twizzlers for kabobs. I didn't have either in the house, but now have ideas for next time. Connor's going through a phase where he sticks his fingers in his ears and I wouldn't want to give him a sharp, pointy toothpick right now ;)



So we have turkey meatballs with pizza sauce, Ritz crackers with Sargento cheddar Mickeys, Annie's bunny grahams, and pears. I have a new tin too :) I looked all over for a 6 cup muffin tin and finally found one at a grocery store. The big box stores didn't have them! I got a convection toaster oven for Christmas and needed a metal 6 cup tin for it. Next week's theme is "Muffin Cups and Liners". I'm going to have to use my silicone liners... these paper cups ended up being flipped out, crumpled and thrown to the dog... Hey, he had fun!

I've been looking for more Muffin Tin decorations. We had a kitchen store in the mall. They had really cute sets of animal shaped sprinkles. I didn't get them at the time, and now they are closed. So the next time I go to the outlet mall, I'll have to get them then. I did order egg molds on Amazon. No way am I going to find a Japanese theme store in Northwest IN!

Here are two pics of Connor with his "Uncle" Eric. Eric came to visit from Florida. He's Jon's best friend and Connor's Godfather.





We recently had 40-50 degree weather and the snow is all gone. Connor's not too thrilled about that. He looks out the window, points and says "Bye bye snow" and "no snow". I was looking up his age chapter in the "What To Expect" book and had to laugh when it said he should be able to say 6 words and a few body parts. He was running through his vocabulary the other night, well 3 am... He has "mommy, daddy, love you, Madi, Madison, puppy, down, up, uppies (up please), please, you're welcome, thank you, horses, Raja, Kobe, Cocoa, fish, eat, crackers, milk, refill, cup, drink, get down, no, yup, hi, blanket, tractor, car, train, green, blue, pink, uh huh, cookie, snow, hair, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, brush teeth, belly, knees, feet, toes, socks, shoes, shirt, pants, jacket, coat". I know there are others, but that's all I can think of right now.
