The Crab and the Chicks.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Easy Lunchboxes? I know I do not use them a lot for the minions, but I use them 5-6 days a week for The Elder. Easy Lunchboxes came out with some new colors! Can you feel my excitement? I have 12 of the normal ones right now. So in theory I should be fine. "Just to be safe" I ordered 2 packages (8 boxes) of their "Brights". :-D :-D :-D I told myself that I would never use faces on here, but I am to excited not to.

Tyke informed me today that he did not want a "cut" sandwich. So I left his whole and made him a cheese crab on top of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The eyes are candy eyes. The crab shaped cutter I used was actually in the "dollar" section of Target. It was part of a play-dough tool set. I took out any piece that could be used for a sandwich cutter and gave the minions the rest for their clay. The minions also have cheese, blackberries, and strawberries for lunch.

Pork wanted me to make him cute sandwiches, so I used a cookie cutter to cut him out 3 chicks. I used cheese to give them beaks and candy eyes. Above them I used another play-dough cutter to make him a duck.

Colonel Sanders had her own cute lunch. Here she has 3 Hello Kitty sandwiches. I used a Hello Kitty cookie cutter that had one of the press on faces. This makes the bread nice and flat. I also used left over cheese scraps (from the crab and duck) for her cheese. I cut the strawberries into smaller pieces for her.

Oh look! Aunt Julie is overseeing lunch today! I have class today. So while the minions eat lunch, I make sure everything is in my school bag, take a shower, and then drive Tyke to school. From there I go right to school myself.

Cat and ghost bento

 I have been using the Dr. Seuss boxes from Target a lot recently. Mainly because my bento storage is a mess and I am to busy (lazy) to reorganize it. Today we have grapes, cucumber, cheese, celery, and carrots.

On top of that I put a cat and a ghost peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some more cheese, and a small container of dip.

Hidden Dinosaur

 Like the background? Tyke made this piece of art for me at school. Yep, he only glued 3 little things to the paper. *sighs* I guess he is a minimalist.

Anyway, this is today's lunch. We have 2 dinosaur shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I found the sandwich cutter in the dollar section at Target. I think it's an ugly cutter, but I was to lazy to look for my other one. It also looks like we have some cheese,some carrots, and a leaf of lettuce (It was off those living lettuce plants you can buy for $1.29). Let's lift that leaf up.

Oh look! There is more! Is that a little dinosaur? Yes it is! It's a ring. How fun is that? Let me tell you, it's way to much fun when you are a 3 and 4 year old. Also there are some grapes, baby trees (broccoli), and some more carrots.

Puzzle sandwich
