MTM - What do Bears Eat, and Elvis gets his Bling

Well, it's Muffin Tin Monday again.  This time there was no theme.  So we came up with "What do bears eat?" as our theme.  My mom got us these adorable bear muffin tins which fit in just perfectly today.
Bears eat honey, even on heart shaped whole wheat bread.  Bears eat all berries, especially blueberries.  Bears eat citronella.  As we found out when we left some out on top of our mountain one summer.  Lest you think I fed my child citronella, I will let you in on a secret....really just lemon curd ;-)  But doesn't lemon curd look JUST like citronella that has turned semi-solid in the cold?  And bears eat salmon.  Only my little bear likes his salmon in a casserole with mac and cheese, tomatoes, and peas. 
This tin was a huge hit and everything was eaten.

So last week, Wendiwinn suggested that Elvis needed a gold chain.  And maybe a VW to drive around in.  So Pierce and I went to work with some beads.

Pierce was really happy with his 'transportation' necklace.  He wears it every.single.day.

And apparently, Elvis was happy with his bling, and his Hummer.  No lie, check out the chick's topper.  Does he have attitude or what?  Now he just needs a theme song.


Paul has suggested Elvis get a name change.  He says he looks just like Beaker from the Muppets.  Paul does have a point.
So let's take a vote.  If you all think his name should be changed, let me know, I'm game.  And if you think it should stay Elvis, too bad for Paul ;-)

  7. Gosh, he does look like Beaker! But I agree with others that changing his name would confuse him. :)
