Friday was the last day of "M" week for Montgomery's Pre-K class (in their fun grand yearlong adventure through the finer nuances of each letter of the alphabet :o) So, because Montgomery is the only "M" girl in her whole class -- there are of course the boys Mark and Mason, but according to the Gommy Girl (with emphatic condescension)..."they don't like PINK!" So, because of Gommy's lone M-girl status, and in celebration of "M" week, I baked yummy "M" muffins for her class...with PINK frosting of course!
I even packed them up to take to school in a pink-sparkly-tissue-paper-lined box, of which I am at the same time both proud and ashamed...
For the record, a clean, new, empty, sealed priority mail shipping box with the top panel edged on three sides by an exacto knife to create a "hinged" lid, makes a wonderful carrying tray-case for classroom goodies! I give sufficient business to our US Postal Service to not feel overwhelmingly embarrassed by my occasional misuse of their free shipping supplies. It IS true...necessity IS the mother of invention!
If you're interested in a great and rather wholesome yummy muffin recipe, check out Lynda's Recipe Box Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins. We modify it by omitting the honey and adding a little brown sugar, white sugar, molasses, vanilla extract and cinnamon...mmmmm. We also slightly amp up the milk and oil because of the extra dry ingredients. These muffins are so delicious with or without the chocolate chips.
Gommy proudly sported her special "M" attire to appropriately mark the day. She managed to pose so nicely for a photo for me..............................................before the sillies started to creep in....
...and get a little closer...
...and closer...
...until they finally overtook her!!
"M" day is great!
But what goes up -- thankfully! -- must come down. So much excitement can tire a little body out...and it's good to just get snuggy on the couch and watch a few "my shows" on the way out to nappy world...
Much Love. Take Care.
