Lunchies

This is actually a pretty quick post.  Since #1 has started school I have made a point to make her special lunches.  I never really thought much about it and was really only doing it so the night before school when she saw her special lunch she would be excited to eat it the next day at school.  It didn't even occur to me that I should be taking pictures of them until the week before break when her teacher commented on how she looks forward to seeing #1's lunch everyday.  So I decided in addition to my regular posts I will start to post her lunches.  #1 only goes two days a week and since it was presidents day this week there is only one lunch to post.

Generally I only like to send sandwiches as I feel they hold up the best.  And, even though, she is not a picky eater most sandwiches come back unless they are egg salad or PB&J and lately she has not wanted egg salad (which is fine with me as it takes much longer to make).  For her drink I always send a bottle of water even though I know she barely drinks any, but it's better than Juice and sometimes as a surprise I will send a milk.  I the top compartment is usually a cracker of some kind and in the bottom larger area is always fruit (this largely depends on what I have on hand).  And, along with the sandwich as long as there is room I always include a dairy of some sort, usually a gogurt or a cheese stick.

This week it was Koala crackers (something my dad had brought for the kids when he visited last).  Strawberry and banana fruit salad.  A strawberry gogurt and two PB&J "J" sandwiches.
