Determined to get back into this!

 going to try my best to post 5 bento lunches this week - for both girls.  Let's see if I can do it! :)

For Cailyn:

Diced chicken nuggets, cheese stick - cut into little pieces, grapes - again diced, and some vanilla yogurt.  Hopefully that is a decent lunch for her!

For Hailey:

Ham and cheese roll up, a few crackers, grape tomatoes and a little container of ranch, grapes, "s'mores" goldfish, and vanilla yogurt with a few heart sprinkles.

A Couple of Bentos

I know I've been extremely lazy about posting.  I realized just this past week that I had a 1st birthday party to plan - and what didn't seem like a lot of time to plan it!!  I said I would be "as good" about planing/organizing/doing things for Cailyn as I was for Hailey.  Well, that is obviously not true (seeing as how my pregnancy scrapbook for C isn't even halfway done!).  Anyways....I digress.

Even though I haven't posted lunches, I have certainly been continuing my project....most of the time.  At least one of the girls received a bento lunch each day since I've last posted.  Unfortunately, I forgot to post the pics, and deleted a number of them from my phone.  Oops!!!

Here are two from the past week (both Hailey's lunches) that I DID manage to save.

In this bento, a grilled cheese sandwich (no crusts), baby carrots w/ranch, mini pretzels, homemade cinnamon applesauce, strawberries, and a few mini fudge cookies.

This bento contains a cheese stick (cut into pieces), some crackers, cucumbers with a container of ranch, raspberries, peach pudding, and cinnamon goldfish.

Hopefully I'll be 5 for 5 in posting next week!!! :)

Another Day, Another Bento

Hailey's lunch for tomorrow: mozzarella cheese hearts, Wheat Thins, grapes with a turtle pick, Cheez-Its, strawberry-banana licorice, and mixed berry yogurt

Putting the puzzle together

I saw sandwich cutters that form pieces of a puzzle. I tried to recreate with Hailey's sandwich, though I don't really think the soynut butter and jelly on wheat cam out like a puzzle!!  Ah well.  Along side that is mini pretzels, strawberry and banana licorice, vanilla yogurt, strawberries, and mini cookies for dessert.

Yay for Fall!!!!

Finally, fall is here!  I loved wearing sweats all day and snuggling with my girls.  I didn't love that the house temperature was 59 degress for most of the day, but I did a lot of cooking and baking which warmed things up nicely.  Looks like cold rain for the beginning of the week. I don't know how I feel about that...but, at least the heat is gone! 

I'm noticing tomorrow's lunch isn't very colorful.  I'll really need to start being more creative.  I find that I can't send Hailey with *too* much because she is too busy looking at everything and then rushes to eat.  I need to brainstorm a bit....

Lunch for Hailey is heart shaped ham and cheese on wheat bread (little picks holding the sammies together), mini pretzels, grapes and strawberries, peach yogurt, and mini fudge cookies.

No "bento" for Cailyn tomorrow. She is having broccoli-cheddar soup, diced strawberries, yogurt, and baby goldfish.

Almost Friday!

I'm not sure why, but I do not have a photo of Hailey's lunch tonight. Maybe I'm still tired from my alarm going off at 12am???  That, I can assure you, will NOT happen this evening.

I do have a picture of Cailyn's lunch for tomorrow. Her fabulous teachers have said that she is loving feeding herself, so I send a bunch of finger foods (and some vanilla yogurt).  I hope Cailyn doesn't give them a hard time with her teachers feeding her off the spoon!!  I know it is a matter of time before she will be able to do it all by herself. :)

Tomorrow's lunch for Cailyn: an open faced grilled cheese, diced strawberries, sweet potato puffs, and vanilla yogurt.

Summertime.....

I know it isn't, but it sure felt like it today!  I'm sick of the heat and ready for the changing leaves and cooler temps.  It sure doesn't feel like the end of September!!!

Tomorrow's lunch is boring, but I'm sticking with my "project."

Wheat Thins, mozzarella cheese hearts, grape tomatoes, vanilla yogurt with heart sprinkles, grapes, and a small handful of fudge cookies.
