Soccer Practice Night

I have a class on some soccer practice nights. So I pack the minions into the car, give them dinner, drive up to the college, trade cars with the Elder (cause I have a minivan and he has a car. His car will not work with 4 minions in car seats) and then I go to class and he to soccer practice.

Tonight they had leftover rice a roni (I needed to use it to get that crud out of my house), left over pork balls in orange glaze, steamed whole baby carrots, and green beans. In the little container off to the side there I mixed crushed pineapple and cottage cheese. Below this is The Elders meal. Notice his has a little less variety. That's because he is not a fan of semi healthy food.

Yellow and white chick

The boys are still not wanting to eat rice for some odd reason. They use to love it. So today I thought I would try something a little different. I decided to use my rice molds on broccoli and cheese Rice a Roni. I have to say it held together rather well. To bad the minions still would not touch it. They just ate the cheese off the top.

Anyway, today's lunch consisted of Rice a Roni  chicks with a swiss cheese and cheddar cheese chick on top, apple "eggs", strawberries and blueberries on a sword skewer, and 100% processed chicken nuggets (yep, do you want to know how these are made? Ask and I am sure you will not eat them again). Oh, and spinach under the chicks. Today's letter was "U" and the number 8. Why 8? Because we had 8 chicken nuggets and it worked perfect to count with.

I cheated with the chick eyes. I think I will be doing that a lot from now on. Wilton makes candy eyes. How great is that? Give the minions a little sweet with their lunch and make my life easier.
