Dr. Seuss Bento

There are so many adorable Dr. Seuss lunches being posted out there so I thought I'd join the bandwagon. I got a lot of inspiration for this lunch from Jennifer at A Flexible Life.

• Green eggs (ok, I know in this picture that hard boiled egg looks blue. But, trust me, it's green) and ham


• Carrots with ranch


• Blackberries


• Babybel cheese with a "Thing 2" cut-out


• White chocolate and M&M "green eggs"


• Salt and Pepper shaker (for the egg)

Name Game

I'm so mad at myself! I had a super cute idea for a Leap Day lunch and COMPLETELY forgot about it when I was making this lunch for tomorrow!! Oh well...I guess it will have to wait 4 more years ;)

• Sandwich on a whole wheat bagel thin (cut and half and stacked). I cut her name out of colby jack cheese.


• Broccoli with ranch


• Blackberries and raspberries


• 2 Hershey Kisses

Mickey Mouse!

I just got home from my second Disney Cruise of the year (I know, I'm blessed...and a little spoiled!) and was still in the Disney mood when I made yesterday's lunch.

• Mickey Mouse-shaped sandwich


• Mickey shaped cheese crackers (that I got on the cruise)


• Carrots with ranch


• Red grapes


• 2 Hershey Kisses
  
  
  
  

The Kissing Hand

I'm going out of town for a few days and leaving Daddy in charge. I made one last lunch before I go. This lunch was made with the story "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn in mind. If you aren't familiar with the story, it's about a little raccoon that is nervous about going to school for the first time because he's going to miss his mommy. So, his mom gives him a kiss on his palm (a kissing hand) that he can put up to his cheek and think "Mommy loves me. Mommy loves me." whenever he feels lonely or misses her. We exchanged "kissing hands "before they left for school this morning and hopefully this lunch will remind them that mommy loves them.
