OK, so I've completely fallen in love with this idea. Putting kids snacks/meals into a muffin tin. Crazy, right? WRONG! Timothy has SO enjoyed this. I get 2 or 3 made in a week - that's all my creative juices have going on right now. The sad thing is that I don't plan far enough ahead to really do something extra special. I know that that's how all these other moms did it - doing what they could with what they had. Then it became 'part of them' so much so that it's just part of their day. I long to be at that place!! My MIL commented recently that I had "too much time on my hands." I know she was kidding. I told her no, doing this breaks up the monotony of a 12 month deployment. Anything to make the day more fun, right? :)
Anyway, each Monday there is a theme. This week happens to be Halloween. I wonder why? Just kidding! I stole 5 of the 6 ideas from other tins I have seen recently. Only one is original, but I'm sure someone has done it in the past. No matter. Timothy has never seen it and I've never made a Halloween muffin tin meal. It's brand new to us!

Love doing this for my little guy. And I love that I can be creative with it. Stealing ideas at first, but then making them my own. Thanks to Michelle at Muffin Tin Mom for this wonderful idea!!
