We are back!

Between Thanksgiving break and travel, the boys haven't been to school in a while! But we are getting back into the swing of things today. Snack for E on the left is cheese sticks, apple and orange slices. S's snack on the right has peanuts, orange and apple slices. I like putting orange slices between apple slices - it keeps them form browning. :)

Lunch today was some bunny shaped mac and cheese (Thanks to my SIL whose kids rejected this brand of pasta). I added some green beans which the boys won't appreciate but will eat. :) In the side container, I packed apple slices, freeze dried pears and some cookies left over from our plane trip - gotta love new and exciting snacks!

Award: Kreative Blogger

Thanks Astrid for the award! Here are 7 things about me.

1. I used to work as a structural engineer before having kids. That was so long ago (7+ years)!
2. I watch almost no TV.
3. I love to organize and hate to clean so I have a clutter free but filthy house.
4. I picked my college based on which did NOT require a public speaking course.
5. I have Crohns disease.
6. For 7.5 years I ate a diet with no grains, sugar, lactose, potatoes or corn in an attempt to control my Crohns disease.
7. I am embarrassed to tell most people that I keep a blog about what I pack my kids for lunch each day. :)

I know I'm supposed to pass this on but.... I'm lazy... And everyone seems to have gotten it already...

PB&J

Here's today's snack of apple and cheese. Pretty boring...

For lunch the boys had the last of these single serving apple sauce packs, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some wild puffs, an orange and a cookie.

No lunches next week due to Thanksgiving break!

Quesildillas

Cheese and grape skewers for snack. I was feeling the need to give them a treat so I put a cookie in too after this picture was taken. :)
Lunch was quesildillas, yogurt, apples and veggie bootie.

A Very Orange Snack

Here is the very orange snack of oranges, cheddar and cheese crackers.
Lunch today was an egg salad bagel (E) or PB&J bagel (S), some carrot and pepper sticks, apple sauce, cookie, mini corn and pumpkin muffins and some pear.
A and I joined the boys for lunch today. This is A's lunch of creme cheese and jelly bagel, carrot sticks, pumpkin muffin, peanuts and orange.

And finally here is my lunch of yogurt, pear, 2 corn muffins and some carrots.

Turkey Sandwich

Snack today was apple slices, cheese and crackers. I volunteering in S's class this morning and got to see snack time. I was disappointed to see that MANY kids had candy or cookies or pudding cups for a snack. I was actually mostly surprised because S has never asked me to give him such things. Maybe he doesn't notice what the other kids are eating? Or maybe he just knows I'd probably say no.... :) I have seen E's class eat snack and they seem to bring healthier foods. E's teacher talks about healthy eating more than S's. In fact, S's teacher has candy all over her classroom and occasionally uses it as rewards. I think the teacher's attitude makes a difference.

For lunch the boys had a "turkey" sandwich (actually creme cheese and jelly), mango and some nutty coffee cake.

Turkey and Maccaroni and cheese

Snack today was oranges, cheese and dried apricots.
For lunch the boys had some macaroni and cheese, apple cobbler, turkey with BBQ sauce in the green container and some mango.
