Mama Said: MTM: A "Taste"-ful Self-Portrait

Wow! I haven't done a Muffin Tin Monday in ages! This week's theme "All About Me" really got my juices flowing with all the possibilities. I opted for BFG to do a food self-portrait. It was totally fun and BFG was really into it.

First off to the side, I gave her a bowl of buttered spaghetti noodles to build herself. Then, the items for details were: candy cherry slice (Rhett just happened to bring those home from the gas station and I knew it would be perfect for a mouth!), string cheese, sliced grapes, Cheerios, pretzels, and Cheetos.

I gave her a big cookie sheet and let her go to town! She had a blast even making up a story with her picture. You might not can tell, but this is a picture of BFG in the snow (snow falling and snow on the ground) with a radio in her hand and she's next to a fire. She was super excited to show it to her dad and was super excited to eat it! She devoured herself! Isn't it funny how kids love stuff like that?

Go on over to Her Cup Overfloweth to see everyone else's take on the theme!

The Oldroyd's said...: Thanks for your comment. Yes the story about my brother was a national story and he was the first boy scout ever that went missing. So it often is brought up again in the news with other stories. I am sure that is why the pictures look familiar. Thanks again. P.S. I already commented but I love your portrait idea.; October 6, 2009 at 10:31 AM
