Four Lunches

Snack today was apples, cheese and pretzels.
For lunch the boys had a homemade "uncrustable" with a fruit leather heart on top, berries and a granola bar.
This is my lunch. A and I ate at the park with friends. I'm LOVING the spring weather! I had turkey and cheese roll ups, strawberries, a few cucumber slices, fig newton and some cheese.
A had some pretzels and bunny crackers, strawberries, ham wrapped around cheese and some dried pineapple and mango.

A very Lame St Patricks Day Lunch

This morning I woke up and looked at the calender. "hmm.. St Patrick's day...". I searched the house for green food and didn't come up with much - lettuce, pickles and an apple with a greenish tint. The boys don't like pickles so that didn't leave me with much. ..
Snack today was an apple with peanut butter (S) or cheese stick(E) and a fig newton .
Lunch was a salad, egg salad(E) or tuna salad(S) and some potato chips. Probably not the most filling lunch but the boys have a pizza party at 3:00pm so I think they will be fine.

Chicken

The boys ditched school on Friday and we went skiing instead! I have not been on my skis in 8 years (since I got pregnant with the twins - S and E) My parents have taken S and E skiing a few times a year since they were 3 years old. I went along when they were 3 (though did not ski myself) The year after that I gave birth to A and my parents took S and E skiing without me for a few years. This year A is learning to ski too so I get to join the fun! I pulled out my 20 year old ski stuff and did wonder for a minute if it really was safe to ski on 20 year old equipment that has been sitting for 8 years. I decided it would be fine since I would be confined to the bunny hill. Well it's probably a good thing that I stayed on the bunny hill because by lunch time my boots were literally falling apart! After lunch I ran behind A while he skied and people kept giving me the pieces of my boots that fell off behind me! My regular boots were way back at the car so I ended the day wearing just the ski boot lining on my feet! Here is a photo of one of the boots when it started to crack. Crazy!I DID pack us a lunch on Friday but we were running too late for me to get a picture.
Here is E and S's snack for today. Cantaloupe and graham crackers with cream cheese. With the time change, I no longer have sunlight to take pictures in the morning. Bummer. Hopefully in a few weeks...
Lunch today was some bunny crackers, strawberries an blueberries, chicken, cookies and ketchup in the green container for dipping the chicken into.
A and I joined DADDY for lunch today! My lunch is above - yogurt, strawberries and a granola bar.
A had a hard boiled egg, strawberries, a few little cookies and pasta with butter. He REALLY wanted pasta so that he could use the little orange guy who is filled with Parmesan cheese.

A New Cheap Online Source for Bento Stuff

I bought most of my Bento stuff from a store called Ichibon Kan which used to offer it's products for ordering online. Ichibon Kan is like a Bento Dollar Store. Not the best quality but SUCH cheap prices! I was so bummed when they stopped the online service. :(

BUT I just heard of a new cheap bento store online! It is called fit All the bento stuff seems to be about $2 each! Check out the boxes and accessories.

I know absolutely nothing about his company but I'm hopeful and excited!

Dried Pineapple Flower

Snack today was crackers, cheese, pear and a piece of dried mango. The boys have never had dried mango before and I forgot to tell them what it was before they left for school. It look and tastes like candy though so I bet they won't hesitate to eatit. :)
Lunch today was mini bagels with cream cheese. One with dried pineapple (trying to make a flower) and one with cinnamon sugar. On the sade was berries and some fig newton cookies. It hit me when shopping yesterday that newton cokes are pretty much the same thing as cereal bars with less packaging...
