Food Fun

I love my boys and I love making Valentine's Day fun in our house. One of my favorite parts of Valentine's Day for us is the heart-shaped food! This year we were assigned class snack on Valentine's party day for Eli and Micah's class. Micah wanted these tortilla cut-out cookies. The boys had a great time sprinkling them with LOTS of sprinkles. ;-)

 

 I made these pancakes for breakfast.

I also made heart-shaped chocolate cupcakes with ice cream.

The boys' valentines for school.

On several occasions, Eli and Micah have asked what their names mean. (The prompt to their question is often a story in their Bible that explains St. Paul's name change and that his new name means "humble.") So none of us will forget, I made these name signs for each of the boys--each with their name's meaning and a related Bible verse.

 Nana and Papa sent these bubble guns, which the boys have loved.

 St. Patrick's Day is another day I have fun with their food. It was fun to see how many green foods we could eat in one day. Eli and Micah helped me think of some options, which was great.

For lunch, we had apples, celery, green eggs and Green Goddess muffins.

(Joshua got a hold of his muffin before I got a picture taken.)

 

 For dinner, we had broccoli, green fruit salad and pasta with Spinach Pesto. 

And the empty space?

 We reserved that for this cake with green avocado frosting.
