A Haven for Vee

Snacking

My grands really enjoy selecting their own snacks and it's all good as long as a wide variety of choices is provided. I offered carrots, celery, M&Ms, apple slices, orange segments, mini Kit Kat bars, mini Vanilla Wafers, and cheese sticks. Muffin trays were provided and the boys had as much fun choosing cupcake liners as they did snacks.


You can see this little guy has a sweet tooth


The younger seems to prefer carrots 

(Say, how'd that child climb up on the table without my noticing?)

Neither child ate everything, but there was a lot of carrot munching, celery munching, and M&M munching. Next time, I'll include just one sweet treat. I'm learning!

This grand prefers doing

Have a great Monday...

  2. Oh so cute. .and I love . .just love the muffin tin snack holder. What a fantastic idea. I wonder if my 3 year old grands could save part of their snacks for later in the day if we used a muffin tin?
    I prefer a bit of salty and sweet if I ever happen to come by ..thank you very much.

  4. Good for them and their veggies!!! Betcha' Mommy gets some credit for this, hu? :-)

    You asked about my blog updating? You said yours is not doing so. My this morning's blog entry already showed up in my Google Reader. As a new post.

    And I don't use Blogger Followers, to see new posts, so.... I don't know about that.

    Btw, it was snowing this morning, and by now, the sun is trying to come out. C-r-a-z-y weather.

    Gentle hugs...

  8. I love the muffin tray idea and have used it in the past as well. I find that the kids think it's so much fun!

    Just hand over the Kit Kat bars and everything will be okay. You do know that I'm 3/4 Sicilian right? Don't make me "go there" on you. :)

  11. Thanks for the visit and comments to my spot. Wow, you offer such great choices for the grands. Every kid agrees there's nothing better than a trip to visit Grandparents where you can have and do everything you want.

  16. What a cute and clever way to serve snacks to your grands. I had to smile at the one filled with carrots.
    I see you have a new profile picture. Very nice. I liked the last one too, but I think this makes you look younger.

  18. I failed to tell you that I still have a "soft spot" in my heart, for your littlest Grand, with the curly blond hair. :-)))) Ohhhhhhh, hair like that, just "melts" me. :-))))

    And then I feel "bad" about saying that. -sigh- Isn't it an awful showing of preference, on my part? -sigh- To want to hug the youngest one, first? Yes, it's just awful. There, I've confessed. :-)
