Muffin Tin Monday / Magic Marker Monday

There are so many things on Monday that I want to participate in so this week I am combining the two meme's. But they really have nothing to do with each other!

I will start with Muffin Tin Monday

This is the actual first time that I have participated in Muffin Tin Monday! I have been reading and getting ideas from Michelle for a few weeks now, so I thought I would try it and see what happens. You ask what is a muffin tin Monday? It's pretty simple: a meal (most often for kids) in a muffin tin! And just to be clear: There is no wrong way to make a muffin tin meal.

My only problem is that I only have 12 cup muffin tins and couldn't come up with enough stuff to put in 12 cups, but found this spiderman tray that I used instead. It worked out good enough for my first time! This week theme is People and Faces. I did more faces with food and had a great time creating it also.
Top row: Ranch dip (with carrots for eyes, black olives for smiling mouth), smiling ketsup, chicken nuggets. Bottom row: Macaroni and Cheese with hot dogs placed perfectly for a smiling face.

This was so much fun and I can't wait until this week to try it again!

Magic Marker Monday


I love this because I get to share with you some of the boys artwork that they have made at school. Last week at school the theme was circus so of course they made clowns!! Such a cute idea, so clever!

sometimes, I have been known to only use one half of a 12 cup muffin tin. It worked out great!

I love your faces and what a fun activity to go with!

Thanks so much for your comment. Can you believe we found the heart shaped muffin tins at a thrift store for only .90 cents?! It definitely was a deal that we could not pass up! Thanks again for your comment - they sure make us excited!
