Friday ended up in a Diva sick day, and Monday ended up in a Munchie Mom sick day. Blaaahhh!!! We're both one the mend and back to work and school and snacks!

Mickey and Minnie
a special sweet treat since Diva had a good progress report from school!
double stuf oreo faces, mini oreo ears, raspberry bow for Minnie
Olivia the pig
bread underneath, ham face, nose, cheeks (ironic, eh?), sprinkle nostrils and eyes, edible marker mouth, raspberry bow
There was no snack yesterday. Did you notice? Probably not. I have been slightly lacking in inspiration. Maybe it's the after holiday lull, or the fact that I'm not a big winter fan so winter snacks seem no fun. Or that all I can think of for Valentine's Day is a heart, which isn't super original. So, I came home from work without an idea, without a plan, without a sketch, and at the point in the week where I start making the grocery list because stuff is getting low. I tried out a few different ideas, hoping to be randomly struck by inspiration when I walked through the door. I wasn't. And then I wasn't out to greet the bus either and almost missed getting Diva off the bus so I said forget it, and succumbed to her immediate request for chocolate, and maybe had some too.
Today I was determined to get back in the swing. I had an idea. I had a sketch. I got home and the book sitting on the table seemed like a much more inviting idea. The sketch will likely reappear next week (when I have better groceries). Today I give you...
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
pretzel rod palm tree trunk, sugar snap pea pod palms, alphabet cookies
Mittens
apple, caramel sauce
Sledding
pretzel sled, teddy graham passengers, marshmallow snowman on top of the hill, string cheese hill
Today's recipe comes straight from the pages of Family Fun. It was just too cute not to copy!
Frosty the Bagel
mini bagel with cream cheese, carrot nose, grape eyes, chocolate chip mouth, strawberry and fruit roll up ear muffs
Yesterday was a Girl Scout Daisy meeting, so I had a Munchie Mom day off. The weather has been unseasonably warm in Ohio this winter, and we've had some unusual, but welcome, sunshine and blue skies the past few days. I'm loving it, but it makes it harder to be inspired to create winter themed snacks, so I didn't.
Rainbow
strawberries, carrot sticks, pineapple, peas, blue fruit loops, grapes
Ice Skate (not super happy with how this one came out, but I was running low on time)
banana skate with chocolate icing piped laces, graham cracker blade, snowman marshmallow decoration
Baby Polar Bear
banana polar bear head and body, chocolate chip nose, sprinkle eyes and mouth, fruit roll up scarf, yogurt covered raisin snow
Penguin
English muffin body, grape jelly wings, clementine feet, beak and hair, marshmallow/sprinkle eyes
Missed me, missed me, now you gotta kiss me! I hope you all had a great holiday break. Happy New Year, and welcome back to snack making fun.
We had our first real snowfall of the year last night/today, which is quite late in the season for Ohio. (I didn't mind in the least). So, for the first day back from break and snow...
Snowflake
graham cracker sticks spokes (I use Kroger brand), blueberry middle and ends, marshmallow snow on the plate
