Gingerbread Man

Today Ainnsley asked if she could make her own snack. So cute! She picked grapes hummus and pretzels. Clearly having grapes on skewers is the best part, since she gave each grape it's own. She also added a Hershey's Kiss.


Lunch:

Left to Right:
Grilled Cheese Gingerbread Man (fruit leather face) a spoon for a yogurt packed in lunch bag.
Grape Skewers, Clementine Sections

Simple Snack

Getting back into the groove here...Everyone in my house has had a terrible bug, and we are just now starting to feel normal...if only I could get my house to look normal!

Ainnsley's simple snack...She says the big oranges are better than the little ones (clementines) Our last box of clementines was not the best, and Naval Oranges are looking great.

Left to Right:
Orange slices
Hummus and these great bread sticks I found with fantastic ingredients.

New Lunchbot

So excited to get my lunchbot in the mail yesterday! I really like this one; stainless instead of plastic, and there is a lot of room inside. I saw on their facebook page that they are coming out with some little sealable containers for yogurt and such and that would be the perfect addition!

Left to Right
Grape Skewers, organic cereal bar
Crackers and the letter H cheese, carrot sticks and hummus


A terrible picture, but these little bars are just the perfect size, and have a great ingredient list.

Pink

Ainnsley's class focuses on a letter and colour each week. This week it is Pink and the letter H. I was excited to buy this Wilton alphabet and number fondant cutter set last week. I needed it to make Grady's Birthday Cake, and now it is the perfect addition to my bento making madness!

Lunch:

Left to Right
WW apple, raisin bread
Lemon snap cookies, grapes with pink bunny fork, clementine sections, and some pink strawberry cream cheese to spread on the bread (she asked to be able to spread it herself, I sent a little kiddie knife) and the word PINK cut out of fruit leather
