It is Muffin Tin Monday at our house again!
C has been quite infatuated with pirates lately...I think it all started when she watched Hook a couple months ago. She calls herself "Captain C" and tells us to "walk da plank, Daddy!" , "Arrrr! Shiver me timbers!" and the classic "Yo ho ho!"
So in honor of our recent love of all things pirate, we did a pirate theme MTM tonight. I also had a little surprise for the girls for after dinner....
1. Plank (buttered toast)
2. Treasure (fruit cocktail)
3. Pirate Hook (fruit by the foot and marshmallow)
4. Pirate Ship (tomato ship with mozzarella sail and shredded cheddar under)
5. X marks the spot (fish sticks and tartar sauce)
6. Whales (cheddar crackers)
E ate just about every little thing on her plate. There was just a little shredded cheese left and some tartar sauce. Good girl!
And this one ate 10 fish sticks plus most of the rest in her tin! Very successful dinner tonight.
Don't forget to check out what other moms are doing over at Muffin Tin Mom's site.
Then it was time for the after dinner surprise...so I got out the Pirate's Map, so we could search for the hidden treasure chest!
Here the girls are racing around the house with the map trying to find the treasure. I finally got them on the right track and we headed downstairs.
As soon as I turned the light on, C immediately spotted the treasure chest and was frantically trying to open it.
I am so glad I did this pirate themed night. Sometimes I feel bad because I mostly gear this kind of stuff more towards C's interests and not E's, but E absolutely had just as much fun (if not more) than C did with everything tonight. And I guess that is the biggest success of tonight. It was so much fun for me to see them running around with that little map and opening up their treasure together.
