"S" Week Snacks

Smoothies

Cake Pop "Suckers"

                                                              String Cheese and Strawberries

"R" Week Snacks

Red Rose cookies

Rosary (made out of muffins)

                                     And for the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes we had blueberry bread.  We also had Rice cakes too!!

"P" Week Snacks

P week was rather, pathetic.  There are so many great P snacks, but we were busy that week and only got around to pickles and popcorn.  Pretzals dipped in chocolate, mini pizza's and peppermint ice cream would have been great too.

"O" Week Snacks

Owl sandwiches
"O" pretzels and cheese

CheeriO bars

Oreo cake

And not pictured were homemade Oreo cookies. They are divine, delicious, and delectable....I got the recipe from Jillian and, Oh my, were they good. Don't ask me what's in them.

"L" Week Snacks

Lemon bars

Lemon poppy seed muffins....yum!
Pope Saint Leo the Great feast day fell during "L" week! How fitting! I just happened to have a St. Nicholas cookie cutter that we turned into St. Leo. The kids decorated their own.

And we also made tiny Leaf cookies, but alas, didn't get a picture taken of them...(gasp)

"J" and "K" Week Snacks

What's "J" week without good ol' Jell-O?
Jell-O Cake

Juice Stop drinks...so yummy!

Jack-O-Lanterns (thanks Kim for making this one for us!!)

Key Lime Pie
Pretzal Knots

"I" Week Snacks

I week....

Idaho potato chips....my first time making them from scratch. I now have a new appreciation for a whole bag of chips....seeing how long it took me to make just this small plate full!

Indian corn
We had this on Tuesday which was the feast of St. Isaac Jogues....perfect that his feast day fell during I week!! We read about him and his missionary work with the Indians.

Since we had a few errands to run after school on Wednesday, I decided just to drive through and get Ice cream!

Irish soda bread

Insects on muffins
I was cupcaked out, so decided that muffins would do just fine.

And Kim made Igloo's for the kids on piano day. They were super cute. It was an apple halved, laying flat on the plate. The kids spread marshmellow fluff all over it and then stuck mini marshmallows all around it. Brilliant! I find it funny that those of us doing the alpahbet snacks rarely duplicate snacks! I love to see what different ideas they come up with!!

"H" week snacks

Homemade Heart Ice Cream Sandwiches

Hard boiled eggs

High Hat cupcakes

Honey Bee Cookies

"G" Week Snacks

Green crayons
-pretzel rods dipped in green chocolate
Gumdrop Garden

Ghost cookies.....couldn't believe it was really that simple. You don't even have to ANYTHING, you just pop them in the oven.

Grape kool-aid accompanied our snacks this week as well!

Kim had Gingersnap cookies for us on piano day which were Great!

"F" week snacks

"F" week was Fun, Fabulous, and Filled with Feast days too!!

Funny Faces....Thomas'

Annie's


Flower pot cake.

I never knew that you could bake a cake or bread in pots.....oh the possibilities!

Saint Francis' Friendly beasts mix

A Flower
Very surprised that my children ate this one. They take after their mother and tend to think that a snack equals sweet. Thomas was quick to point out that grass in not orange, but green!

And then we celebrated two (well, three actually, the feast of the guardian angels is on Saturday)big feast days this week. First was the feast of the archangels. St. Michael was Thomas' very first favorite saint. He used to dress up like him, and parade around the house with sword and shield in hand! You can see how long we have had our St. Michael statue. He is now hand-less, arm-less, wing-less, and sword-less, and until recently head-less as well. I finally glued his head back on!

Angel food cake with swords for dessert!

Every morning after I drop off Thomas and Annie at school, I pray the St. Michael prayer for them and their protection. It has comforted me since the first day that I dropped Thomas off and walked away, leaving him for the next seven hours. I know that St. Michael is protecting them while they play and learn at school.

And then, Friday was the feast of St. Therese. What a feast that was! More to come on that celebration!

"E" week snacks

E week was Excellent!!

Ears of corn (thanks Janel for inspiring me! These are super awesome!)

Eyeballs stuck on forks

Eskimo Pie ....easy enough!

Elephant Ears (although my kids thought they looked more like Earmuffs.....that works too!)

"D" week snacks

"D" week was downright busy during snack time. I was only able to make one "D" snack. I had intended to make:

Devils food cupcakes with a cocktail sword sticking out from it
Daisy cupcakes
Doughnuts

But was only able to make these Daisy mints. The kids love these mints, not to mention they're rather addicting! I keep them in the freezer and just pop one or two (or three or four) into my mouth pretty much any time I walk by the fridge.


We go to the Vacek's every Thursday after school for piano lessons. Kim made a great "D" snack for us. Dirt. A huge cup of good ol' dirt. Gummy worms and all. It was Delicious!!
