Plants Vs. Zombies

Yeah! Plants Vs. Zombies cookie cutter finally came! I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, grapes, carrots, cucumber, string cheese and chocolate covered raisins.

Bagel sandwich lunch

Lunch! I know most kindergartners eat more than this. Mine don't. For lunch we have half of an asiago cheese bagel from Panera Bread with ham and honey mustard, a cheese stick, raisins, piece of chocolate (hidden under raisins), and half of a blood orange.

And then the top would not fit on one of the containers. *sighs* Really? I decided to dig out one of the round containers since they were much deeper. That led to another issue, the container was no longer packed tight. I don't know why that drives me nuts, but it does. It is taking a lot of restraint to not pack more food. I am sure he will not eat all of his lunch as is. That is not what keeps me from packing more though. What keeps me from doing so is, I do not want one child to feel I love the other more. Easy fix, right? Just put the other lunch in a round container. Nope. I would rather sit here with a nagging feeling of there being empty space... Mama has serious issues.

Dinosaur Sandwich

I am going to miss the kids I use to babysit for. They are always such good eaters. Sadly they are moving out of state. After not seeing them for a month, I was given a chance to watch them. :-D Sadly, this is probably the last lunch I will get to make them. I asked R (the older one) what he wanted for lunch and allowed him to pick out the sandwich cutter and everything else that went into this lunch.

So this last lunch consists of 2 dinosaur Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, currants (or baby grapes as he called them), raisins, a cheese stick, and some pretzels. There is also 3 small pieces of chocolate.

I know it is not very organized, sorry! I had 6 kids 5 and under.

T is for Turtle

I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to make and bake a bread turtle. It turned out a little to crusty for something it's size. So I put it in a plastic bag while still warm and this morning it is much softer. Also, as you can see, my poor turtle looks more like a ladybug. Oh well, maybe I will do better next time.

Today's lunch is a peanut butter and jelly turtle. The "shell" is made from bologna, nori and had a "T" on it's back. The eyes are raisins. It sits on a bed of left over yellow rice. With that there are grape tomatoes, carrots, raisins, and part of a plumb.

This box is a Dora (I have a matching Spiderman too) "lunch pack" that I found at Walmart. There is a smaller box that comes with it.
