Gingerbread Boy and Girl!

I have no time at all to post on a daily basis anymore:( So instead I decided just to post all the lunches once a week until I have time to do it everyday again. And here they are:

Red-nosed Reindeer!

I let the kids make their own lunches this morning:) And they both made reindeer, one with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and the other with a quesadilla. Along with the reindeer they had mandarin oranges, pineapple, and cucumber slices.

Corndogs

I just cut up the corndog into cute little rings and stacked it like sushi. There is ketchup for dipping and a handful of camel corn on the top tier and fruit and veggies on the bottom tier.

Turkey wraps!

Turkey wraps, a banana, pineapple, Cheetos and some fresh veggies

Same for Z without the banana:)

Gingerbread Boy and Girl!

Aren't these cute?! They are just cut out sandwiches decorated with a few tiny sprinkles and frosting. And I also packed some chicken nuggets and oranges. Alaysia got a pudding cup too.

Snowman Pita Pocket

  I'm finally back into making the kiddos lunches after my much needed vacation last week:) We all had a blast at Disneyland! I feel like the kiddos are finally big enough to appreciate the trip and to be able to enjoy all the shows and rides. 

 Any-who, I made my kiddos lunches for Monday and Tuesday but hadn't gotten around to posting because we put up our tree right next to the computer and, well, I've just been kinda lazy too^_^ I finally got into the holiday theme today and made them snowmen made out of mini pitas. I even gave them a cute little carrot nose! He is filled with turkey ham, lettuce, and cheese. He's got a cheese hat, pretzel arms and is joined by his little snowgrape buddies. I also added a few more crapes and some mini cinnamon cookies ( but that didn't look very nice in the picture:)

And this was for Tuesday. They had a bagel sandwich, half an orange, carrots, and some grapes

And finally, this was Monday's lunch. Another sandwich... this one was strawberry chream cheese and the last of my strawberries. Wheat thins and Mickey Mouse pretzels left over from our trip, grapes and cucumber slices. Now I need to get a little more creative because I HATE sandwiches:D!!!

Turkeys..Gobble...Gobble...

Tuesday Nov. 23rd
My son's kindergarten class sings a son called "Turkey in the Straw" so thats what I attempted to make for his lunch today. And since my daughter saw how cute they looked she wanted one too...

Z has 3 little turkey meatballs with tortilla tail feathers, a cheese face, and sprinkle for a beak and I used shredded carrot as the straw:) Some mandarin oranges with pineapple, grapes and sugar snap peas.

Aren't they cute?!?

Chicken Salad

Monday Nov. 22nd
This is going to be another busy week. The kiddos are only having lunch on Monday and Tuesday of this week because they are havinga feast at school on Wednesday. Then we are off on vacation for a week to Disneyland so this will be my last post until December:( but, Yay! We get to go on a much needed family vacation!! Any-who on the lunches...

This is Alaysia's lunch, she has chicken salad, ham and cheese kabobs, grapes, crackers, sugar snap peas and of course a piece of her birthday cake from Sunday:) 

And Z's mini version as usual.

Octo-weenies and fried rice

My oh my what a busy week last week! I had my daughters birthday party so I wasn't able to post anything since Friday. But I did take pictures to share this is for Friday Nov. 19th...

The kids had octo-weenies over a bed of fried rice, mandarin oranges, pineapple, grapes, broccoli, and carrot flowers.

Z's mini lunch:)

And this was the reason I was soo busy... My daughter wanted a pretty princess cake to go along with her party theme...

Happy Birthday to my Princess Alaysia!!!!

Sandwiches

Thursday Nov. 18th

Just a simple sandwich lunch for the kiddos this morning. Turkey sandwich on wheat bread, chocolate pudding, grapes, roasted pumpkin seeds, and a mini pickle. Alaysia's class is doing a fun craft with leaves today so I added a couple of leaves. 

BBQ Chicken and Ricecars

 Wednesday Nov. 17th


We got a new grill for or deck a few days ago so my hubby and I have been on a grilling spree:) I know it's not the usual time or season for BBQing but its just like getting a fun new toy, and all I want to do lately is play with it lol! And since the kiddos LOVE drumsticks thats what we made for dinner last night along with tons of grilled veggies. I also made a pineapple BBQ sauce for them and the kids loved it! I made sure to grill a few extra because I think they look so cute in their lunch boxes ^_^

Alyasia's box has the drumstick, grapes, cauliflower, mandarin oranges, rice shaped cars, and the usual sugar snap peas and carrots.

Z was so excited about the "ricecars" (instead of racecars) that he destroyed three of them by racing them around the counter and making them crash into his mouth before I could get one into his box:) So thats why he only got one for his lunch box along with grapes, cauliflower and his veggies.
