100th Day of School

Avery's class is celebrating the 100th day of school tomorrow so I made her lunch to celebrate.

• PB&J on whole wheat with a cheddar garnish
• Strawberry yogurt with fresh strawberry "100"
• Carrots with ranch
• Iced brownie bite

Haley's lunch is another tribute to Valentine's Day.

• Ham and cheese with honey mustard in a whole wheat mini-pita. Cheddar heart with provolone letters.
• Strawberry yogurt with fresh strawberry garnish
• Carrots with ranch
• Brownie bite

5 Minute Lunch

Today has been a C-R-A-Z-Y busy day! So, tomorrow's lunch was S-U-P-E-R fast to put together. Mama is tired tonight!

• 2 slices of leftover pizza (cut and half and stacked)
• Steamed broccoli
• Red grapes
• 2 Hershey Kisses

I Love You

There is one more week until Valentine's Day so I'm keeping up the Valentine's theme.

• PB&J on whole wheat roll-ups with "I Love You" in fruit leather.
• Cheddar hearts
• Cucumber slices and carrots
• Red grapes
• 2 Hershey Kisses

Go Steelers!

Ok, I admit it, I could care less about professional football most of the year. But, the Super Bowl is fun. It's a great excuse to eat snack-y food for dinner and see some good commercials. AND if you are going to watch the game, you might as well pick a team to root for. We are a house divided: Haley and I are rooting for the Steelers and Steve and Avery are rooting for the Packers! We've been building it up all week. The girls have been making up cheers and made signs for decorations. Haley wanted to buy a Steelers t-shirt for the occasion but settled for wearing black and gold. (Why can't these teams have pink and purple for their colors? That would have been WAY easier to accommodate!)

Anyway, Haley's lunch tomorrow was inspired by her new found love for the Steelers. Hopefully, she'll still be excited about them tomorrow, regardless of the outcome of tonight's game. Haley's reaction was "That's so cool! The boys are going to love my lunch tomorrow!" ;)

• Ham and veggie cream cheese in a whole wheat mini pita. Steelers decoration is dyed provolone cheese.
• Build-Your-Own Ants on a log (celery, raisins, and peanut butter (in yellow container))
• String cheese
• Strawberry
• 2 Hershey Kisses

Teddy Bear Lunch

Tomorrow's lunch was pretty quick and easy. But Haley thinks it's "sooooooo cute!"

• Salami and veggie cream cheese on a whole wheat sandwich thin. Teddy Bear garnish is made from cheddar with ham nose and ears, provolone eyes with cucumber pupils and mouth.
• Broccoli
• Red grapes
• cheese stick
• 2 Hershey kisses

Puppy Love #2

I'm being optimistic that they will have school tomorrow. We've had snow days the last 2 days and although we've had a lot of fun, I'm ready for them to go back ;) We haven't left the house, not even to walk outside (because everything is covered in ice!) since Monday. Can you say "cabin fever"? Anyway, if we do end up with another snow day, at least I won't have to make lunch :)

• 2 PB&J on whole wheat sandwiches (stacked). I used my heart cookie cutter to cut the puppy's head and his ears out of provolone and cheddar, respectively. The puppy has cucumber features and icing eyes.
• Peas
• Strawberry slices and blueberries
• 2 Hershey kisses (under the puppy's ears)
