Day 249

I have to say, this summer is kicking my butt!  I had this crazy idea in my head that we would be relaxing around the pool and that I'd have all kinds of time to make beautiful lunches for the kids.  I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years now and I'm STILL waiting for the stay at home part to start!  M has been working an internship and her volunteer work at the hospital for a couple of weeks now.  I feel like I spend my entire day in the car driving her from one thing to the next.  Then the run around for the worker's permit, shopping for clothes for each place.  I am worn out!   Yesterday I took M to her job shadowing for her internship.  It is about a 30 minute drive from our house.  We had a playdate scheduled with some of D's friends at a zoo that is about a 20 minute drive from our house...of course in the opposite direction!  So anyway, I packed lunches for the zoo trip the night before, knowing I wouldn't have time in the morning!

I made 2 of these, absolutely the same to limit the fighting!  These were for D and A, they have ham/turkey "lunchables", fresh mozzarella, tomato, olive pics, under the pics is a teriyaki chicken tender in a lettuce leaf, watermelon and sliced plum.  The empty pink cup is for multi grain crackers.  I took the photo the night before and was afraid the crackers would get soggy in the fridge.

For myself I have ham/salami/cheddar "sushi", watermelon and strawberries.  I also had multi grain crackers.
