Muffin Tin lunch


Saw this on line at Sycamore Stirrings. Muffin Tin Mondays. A very creative way to present a meal. Since I am not creative with food, I copied it. There was a lot of carbs at breakfast/snack so this is a lot of produce (and cheese). The kids eat way more when I serve it this way.

Update:L

She is 10 months old, and still cute as a button.  Trying to keep up to the boys, crawling like lightning, and cruising.  Still loves cuddles and is scared of several different men in our lives.  She is the current hit of the care home where my Dad is, and makes all the residents smile every time we go.  She gets dragged around a lot, and seems to like it.
This picture was taken by R, pretty nice shot I think.


She loves to wave, and clap and sometimes signs more and all done.

We are enjoying the hand me downs from Shawna so much!  She has a fabulous wardrobe!

She has 2 teeth now, that cute bottom one and a top tooth, but not the middle, it's one over from the middle (I guess I could look up what it's called, but you know what I mean, right?).

Love this shot, by K (or R, I can't remember now).  And the one one below, too!

She stood on her own February 26th, and only once again since then.  But the first time lasted for at least 5 seconds, then she sat down and laughed at me (I might have been a bit excited).
So that is what she is like right now!

Update: K

K has been up to trouble, I mean he has been singing, playing outside, carrying a drumstick in his belt loops and playing with his big brother.  Sometimes he uses the potty, but it is too much of a commitment for him to do it all the time, he has things to do, you know.  Most recently he has been pretending to be a baby, I guess being the middle child is starting to sink in....
Playing in L's crib, by himself, with her paci.

  I am sure this kid will do well at whatever he chooses because he is a charmer.  He is SO cute. You noticed how there are only pics of him, posing?  Ya.  If you pull out the camera, he drops whatever he is doing to pose!

Update: R

These first 3 pictures were taken by R, can you tell what is important to him?
Computer time

It's snowing!
Lego shelf in his room

The next few pics are a trip to Science world that he took with his Dad and our neighbour/classmate/friend A.  People at preschool and Daycare always say they look like brothers, what do you think?




Here R is with Daddy building his lego coast guard ship that he got for Christmas.  Yes I know, a bit late, but it took them a few hours to put together. K was at Grammie's house and Daddy was off, that is the only way to get anything done around here!  
Here he is with the final product, I really love the trying too  hard smile, so sweet.
So that's it, he has been great with his baby sister, working independently on the computer, going to school, and all that sort of stuff.  Oh and his legs seem really long now, how did that happen?

you've been replaced

This very adorable fuzzy bear hat was the former record holder for cutest hat ever.  
But it has recently been replaced by L's belated Christmas gift from Auntie N.  
Yes, it's handmade.  Yes, it's lovely.  Yes, she leaves it on her head.  And we got it just in time as it is snowing this very minute and the bear hat is a bit too tight now.
The pattern is called Miss Dashwood, I think, is that right Auntie?  And I am so excited about it!

happy belated Valentine's

I know these are a bit late, ok a lot late. I meant to put them up right away, but didn't. So here they are now.
The boys enjoying their ValenTIMES treats from preschool and daycare. They also had a little party at daycare and Lainey and I went and joined in the fun. Since it was sunny that Friday we had the party outside, the kids loved it, but it was chilly!
Before I forget, R nicely shared all his Preschool treats with K, and I thought that was very loving!

Morning Conversation

This morning I found myself sleeping next to a 3 year old wearing only a diaper.  I wonder what happened to the nice warm footy PJ's I put him in last night.... so I ask:
Mummy: K, what happened to your clothes?
K: I don't need clothes.  I am warm in your bed.

Ahh, I see.  Little Man you have it all figured out.
