Day 378

 Day 378 - Lunch today is a peanut butter & honey sandwich cut out with a Lunch Punch, homemade granola bar, grape tomatoes, homemade vanilla yogurt and a Hello Kitty marshmallow.

This is Earth Week at D's school.  One of the activities that they have to do is make a hat out of recyclable materials for their Recycled Hat Parade.

We started with a milk jug.  We cut it just under the handle and used the bottom as the hat base.  We put some felt around the edges in case they were sharp. 

We cut the tops off of plastic water bottles and made flowers out of them.  D painted them then we glued them to the top.

She used a rolled up paper bag as the brim and decorated it with newspaper/button flowers!

She is pretty proud of her beautiful Recycled Hat!!

Day 354

It feels like just yesterday that this beautiful little girl came into our lives.  I can't believe that eight years have passed.  Happy Birthday to my beautiful baby.

Day 354 - Not exactly knocking it out of the park on nutrition today but your birthday only comes once a year!  D has a peanut butter sandwich cut out with a Lunch Punch and decorated with Wilton Cookie Icing.  She also has grapes/cantaloupe and cherry tomatoes.  I didn't pack much food for her today since she will be sharing a treat with her classmates at lunch.

Days 299 and 300

Ever since the hurricane last week, I have been having trouble getting my bento mojo back.  The kids just have so many days off of school this month it's hard to keep the flow going.  Here I am posting my 300th lunch and there is absolutely nothing special about it.  Very sad :(

Day 299 - It was snowing/raining here yesterday so I didn't have any available light for this picture so please forgive the quality!  D has a pb & j sandwich cut out with a Lunch Punch, string cheese, grape tomatoes, chocolate covered sunflower seeds, Trader Joe's pumpkin pie greek yogurt with a cinnamon star on top and a clementine.

**Day 300** -  For her 300th lunch D has a DIY lunchable.  Turkey and cheddar cheese "fairy wands", a mini bell pepper stuffed with cream cheese and sliced, sesame crackers, grapes, a couple of cookies and some chocolate covered sunflower seeds.

Day 284

Day 284 - Dog house/dog ham sandwich made using my Lunch Punch! Red/yellow grape tomatoes, string cheese, cheez - its, TJ's yogurt stars and Chobani Champions orange vanilla yogurt.
