MTM-Spring Time

In honor of it just being the first day of spring yesterday, we decided to do a Spring Time Muffin Tin. 

The girls were over at my in-laws' house today, because of our current childcare situation.  They were REALLY tired this evening and both were on the verge of breakdowns, since E was up 45 min early and C was up 2 hours early.  In addition to that, E only got one nap (I am impressed that she slept at all, actually) and C didn't get a nap either.

Thus, here is what I had going on while trying to make dinner.

When I finally got everything put together, this is what I came up with.

I was kind of in a hurry, so I made them, snapped a picture, and slapped them in front of the girls, then went right back into the kitchen to make something for the hubs to eat.  Then I hear C over at the table saying "Mommy, aren't you gonna tell us about our springtime muffin tin?"  One thing that is important to me as a Mom is to try not to let my everyday duties of life get in the way of making time and effort to enjoy the little moments with my girls.  Although, sometimes it takes one of those little voices to bring me back to that conviction.

1.  Green Grass (string beans)

2.  Sunshine (orange slice)

3.  Butterfly (cheese and sprinkles)

4.  Tulip (jelly on wheat bread)

5.  Umbrella (turkey on a pick---quite a stretch on this one I know!)

6.  Raindrops (sprinkles on blueberry yogurt)

They both chowed down pretty well, actually.
