In the spirit of continued celebration..

YAY!!! It's MUFFIN TIN MONDAY!!!

A very wise woman once told me "Why celebrate a birthday one day when you can celebrate all week!" I find this a wonderful way to look at that special time of every year, when we get to enjoy friends, family, and CAKE!

Green eggs, chopped Honey Baked Ham, cantaloupe, and grapes

You would think that this is a Dr. Seuss breakfast.. but alas it is not! The green eggs are a Princess and The Frog nod. GranMa and GrandPa brought April her new favorite movie on DVD and her Aunt Tavia got her a dress that has Princess Tiana on it! :o) She was thrilled! I started out wanting to make Green eggs and Ham and then read the book. But even after reading it.. April insisted that they were "frog eggs" Umm... SURE!

cantaloupe, carrots and ranch, pineapple, turkey and Swiss cheese, baby pickle, grapes

Logan and April weren't the only ones of the family who got gifts! LOL GrandMa, GrandPa, and Nana have all given us new tins! My Mom and I found yellow oneat the "Litter Box" find. (The Litter Box is my fav thrift store here on the island!) Amazing find at 50 cents!!! (I KNOW!!!) we found a few other things.. but they are not pictured. AND THEN!!! Jon's parents brought me this fantastic tin! April was very impressed that it is not only PINK but it has flowers!! LOL

It may not look pretty.. but it was delicious!! LOL

Last night we had RAINBOW pancakes for dinner!! April and I had so much fun making dinner!!

Logan + Cupcake - Take 2

Don't be shy on my account!

Who wouldn't want to give that dude a kiss! LOL Ewww!

A "dirty" post ;o)p - Update

We had a slight mishap with our plants. One of our cats thinks she has a green thumb! But we still have some surviving seedlings (aka "Little trees"). I had considered transplanting them this week.. but I think we may wait a little longer.

No FAIR!!!

I tried for the past 12 months to express to Logan that he needed to stay a baby for at least a little while.. So far he isn't listening to his mother! BLAH!!!

Logan turned ONE yesterday! *sniff - whipe tears from eyes - sniff*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!!!

We love you more than you could EVER know!!

Muffin Tin Monday

We did a snack tin this week. April loves it when Mom needs to go grocery shopping.. she never know what's coming when she sees the tin! This was a shared tin, so she and Logan got to split the contents. (I may have snuck a marshmallow or 5.. I can't remember LOL) We have ..
a couple of Logan's Banana cookies (April was not impressed so he got both.. not that he complained LOL) raisins, mini marshmallows, Welches' gummies, diced peaces, and fresh strawberries. YUM!!!

I hope this find everyone well and you all have a FANTASTIC week!! I will be planning for Logan's 1st birthday! It's not fair that he's already going to be one on Sat (May 1st)

To my FaceBook peeps.. If you aren't already a MTM follower.. you should seriously give it a go!! It's lots of fun. :o)P

Muffin Tin Monday! - Rainbow

I was in a muffin tin kind of mood today! We had breakfast AND lunch in our muffin tins! :o)


For breakfast we had french toast, syrup for dipping, sausage, blue berries and a CapriSun.


And more in theme.. Our rainbow tin was..
R - Strawberry Crystal Light,
O - Whales cheese crackers,
Y - Apple sauce (with a yellow spoon for good measure),
G - Baby Pickle,
B- Frozen Blue Berry Go-Gurt,
and last but not least..
P - Raisins.
It must be a pretty big hit! April, who has not stopped talking since she woke up this morning, has not said a word for almost 5 min!! *Ahhh

Playing in the dirt again!

Lets see.. What can we get into? We have left over egg cartons from Easter eggs, bowl of dirt, seeds that the Easter Bunny brought in April's basket, and an eager princess!



April was very careful and filled the cups with potting soil.




As you can see we removed the top of the carton and used it as a drain tray.


Princess April and her new garden! :o)

We made Happy Birthday Cupcakes for Daddy!!
Since he is a big golf fan, The Masters were coming up.. oh yeah. Plus he works at Augusta National parttime as a caddy.. we decided that we would try to make a golf theme cupcake.

We had lots of fun and Daddy thougth it was a hit! (It made me smile when he was so happy that he posted a pic on FaceBook! LOL)

Fun snack idea from the MTM Moms!

I swear the Muffin Tin Monday ladies ROCK!!! We totally stole this idea for our MTM snack. Lunch was fun.. but snack time greeted with curious looks from April. LOL

The snacks were closed up into the eggs, carton closed and handed to the confused 2 year old. Once she figured it out.. she was pretty excited. :o) She seems to think that she has a pretty silly Mommy today.

Muffin Tin Mondays - No Theme

Thank Goodness there was no theme for this week. Between having to walk to the store for eggs and baking Birthday cupcakes.. I was doing good to remember lunch. LOL

BTW: I had to walk to the store because I forgot that I needed 3 eggs for the Hubby's Birthday cupcakes. I boiled and dyed all of the ones I had. LOL So we got to walk to the store. Just over 2 miles away. Will try to plan ahead better next year!!! :o)

April had an Easter egg, apple sauce with green sprinkles, mini marshmallows and Welch's gummies, ham on toothpicks, fresh strawberries, and raisins.

New game and a lesson in Static Electricity

April has a new favorite game!! I saw a variation of this online.. and just used what I had on hand to make it work. :o)

I used colored pom-poms and paper plates. As you can see I wrote the name of the color and the coloured the outer ring to make ti more obvious for her.
**********************************

Some days I grab the camera as I'm walking out the door for those.. just in case moments. Today just happened to be one of those days :o)





Notice anything a little off?


Here's a closer look. LOL


As you can see.. Jessie came along on our trip to Kroger. But If you look close, you can see that April chose a gift from her Nana as her foot gear.

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR Rainboots!!! LOL Why Not??! Right?!?!

Muffin Tin Monday

I was introduced to MTM last week. It looked like so much fun I couldn't wait to give it a go. April thought it was GREAT fun!! Since this was my first time.. I didn't do a theme.. but you can see lots of fun ideas on MTM.

On today's menu.. Dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. BBQ sauce, pickle, Welch's fruit gummies, fresh strawberries, and pretzels.

*****************************************************************

After lunch.. April asked for finger paints. What a fun day!!

Firetrucks

We went to Waycross this past weekend. We got to see family and even got to go out to the firestation to check out some trucks with Papa.

April and her Papa.

They got a new truck that has an enclosed cab. insted of sitting on the back or hanging off. :o) This is April sitting in one of the back seats. She was so little in that big truck.

"Mommy! I got a FIRETRUCK!"

The "Dude" at Granana's house.

I'm not completely sure what was so exciting about his sister's shoe.

LOL

I only wish I had gotten to take more pictures. I was so busy visiting that I flaked a bit.

Playing Outside!

After having so much fun at the beach.. we just had to take further advantage of the weather yesterday! We played outside until some friends came over and then played some more.

I think Logan was a little over getting his picture taken. LOL

First skinned knees of the year.

The old man came outside with us. Poor Rooster. He really doesn't feel good.

Ti Ti played until she wore herself out. LOL

First Trip to the Beach 2010

It was so beautiful this morning.. who could resist going to the beach. :o) This was Logan's first trip to the beach and April's first time not being scared of the water. LOL Couldn't stay long... but I'm so glad we went.

Just after this picture was taken.. Logan got excited and got a little to up close and personal with the ocean. LOL

See What I mean? Poor little guy LOL

April and I had fun splashing and being silly. :o)

Guess who else came with us.. LOL YUP! Jessie :o)
