Back to School

Diva started back to school today as a 1st grader.  She was so excited.

Munchie Mom's summer break has come to an end so here's the first installment of the 2012-2013 school year.  I don't think I can maintain the amount of snacks I made last year, so I plan on this being a once a week deal from here forward, pending nothing changes.

Day 87

Ok, one more day on the Beauty and the Beast delay.  Meredith has a friend over after school today, so it's a double snack day.  Since the friend is a boy, I didn't think he would enjoy a princess movie theme.  So Mario it is!

Day 29

We had a little infestation of these critters in our house yesterday-- they got in through the fireplace.  Hopefully we took care of the problem now by burning a little fire.

Week 2

After the first week I told Diva that I'm just going to do the "picture snacks" as she calls them on Mondays.  I'm off on Mondays so figured I would have the time.  Tuesday came with no picture snack and much disappointment.  Plus, since Diva then got a snack of her choosing, she wanted cookies, oreos, and other junk.  I thought, if I had just made a fun snack, she would be eating it and we could avoid this battle all together.  So after a day of hiatus, I got back to making munchies.
