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...
Aren't they cute?!? |
There are many parenting areas where I feel I come up short. But every day I send my kids off with what I consider to be the perfect lunch it makes me feel much better about what I may or may not be doing right. I pride myself on packing healthy food that I know my kids will eat. It bring me such joy to see all of the containers come back empty!!
Aren't they cute?!? |
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. |
The kids had octo-weenies over a bed of fried rice, mandarin oranges, pineapple, grapes, broccoli, and carrot flowers. |
Z's mini lunch:) |
Happy Birthday to my Princess Alaysia!!!! |
Alyasia's box has the drumstick, grapes, cauliflower, mandarin oranges, rice shaped cars, and the usual sugar snap peas and carrots. |
This morning my kitchen was very dark and gloomy for some reason so the pictures aren't very good:( Maybe it was the lack of freshness in the kitchen :D |
Since Alaysia is older and has an actual lunch hour she gets a little more . |
And here's Z's smaller box with ninja turtles....Turtle Power!!! |
For Alaysia's lunch I just tossed the hot tortellini with a little butter and herbs, she also has cucumber, orange, black berries, grapes, and sugar snap peas. |
Z has chicken two taquitos, orange, cucumber, black berries and a couple of grapes. |
This box was for Alaysia she has red rice, two empanadas, green grapes, black berries, carrots and sugar snap peas. |
Z has one empanada cut in half,grapes, carrots and sugar snap peas along with peach yogurt with sprinkles |
And here is Daddy's lunch:) He has a mixed spinach and romaine salad, two empanadas, carrots and sugar snaps peas, a few grapes and blackberries and some ranch for his salad. |
Eyeball turkey meatballs, watermelon, cucumber and carrots. |
Same thing with more eyes for Alaysia. |
