Today's MTM theme was back to school. Since it didn't occur to me to check the theme until noon today we didn't have anything exciting, but since it has been a while since we did a muffin tin Little Miss A was thrilled ...and we did throw in some "learning."I used our number cookie cutters and cut out 1-5 from cheese. I then had Little Miss A help count out the right number for each tin. We had 1 applesauce, 2 chicken nuggets, 3 crackers, 4 orange slices and 5 gumdrops.For dessert we had ...
