Muffin Tins & Crafts

Our Muffin Tin Theme for this last week was the color orange!


Here we have OJ, string cheese, carrots (in ranch), mandarin oranges, peach yogurt and Sun Chips.



Kaitlyn went straight for the Sun Chips and she actually ate a couple of carrots....

Austin pointed out all of the things that were not orange in his tin......the ranch dressing and half of the string cheese. I may have to get more creative next time, maybe with food coloring. We had fun with this one though!


We decided to do a dinosaur craft which was very informative. We learned that when we mix yellow and blue paint together, we get green!


Kaitlyn did a really good job with her paint!



Here is our finished product.....Stegosaurus! Not sure if you can tell, but Austin is wearing his dinosaur shirt as well.
This craft idea came from www.notimeforflashcards.com.



On to caterpillars! Kaitlyn and I made this craft together. This was the first time she used a glue stick. Most of the glue was put on the paper, but inevitably, she put some in her mouth! That's normal, right?

Kaitlyn is Baking!

They say kiddos love to help out and Kaitlyn is no exception. She loves to help Mommy with dusting, laundry and now baking! We made blueberry muffins for a bake sale at our church to raise money for a mission trip to the Philippines.

She pulled up a chair, climbed up on it and helped with pouring all the ingredients and cracking the eggs (which was an adventure)! She loved mixing it all together.


She watched the muffins bake in the oven through the little window and said, "Cupcake hot, cupcake hot!" She was so proud and pretty much stayed in the kitchen and watched them cool.......


.....by the way, our muffins fetched $25 at the bake sale! Thanks, Pop! :)
