Little Things– Jack O’Lantern Orange Snack

2009_1102july20080049I know, it’s past Halloween.  But I did this for my kids as a Little Thing and they talked and talked about how fun it was, so I had to share.  And they didn’t care that it is now officially Thanksgiving season instead of Halloween, so I spent a couple extra minutes on part of their lunch.  Just look at their smiles, the little posers!

All I did was cut off the top of the oranges and then swish my knife around inside to make it easier for them to scoop out the fruit, and then made the little jack o’lantern faces with a permanent marker.  Served with a spoon, it was an easy and healthy treat.

**I have to call attention to the background of the picture.  The PEIIP is going so well!  It’s not perfect, but the kids are really making an effort to grow this habit in themselves.  I’m already thinking about what habit to work on as a family in December!
