Dinosaurs

Today when I asked G what he wanted in his lunch, he said let me go get a book.. love this kid...

So after both of us hunting for this dinosaur book If Dinosaurs Came to Town He told me he wanted the T-rex and the people... Here is what I came up with

-

T-rex is a cookie cutter on bread, painted with my natural food dye.  The people (with scared faces) are Swiss cheese... he has a car egg made with my mold... Daddy made G try a sweet pepper last night he said he liked the orange one, so he asked for one today (not cut up).  Grapes, and a piece of ham.  He has a Gogurt and juice box too.

Goldfish Bread

My DH went to the grocery store for me this weekend, it is always so nice when he does that even if he brings home extra stuff.  This time he brought home the goldfish bread, kind of thoughtful when he thought it would make my making fun lunches easier.. but now i have to come up with all kinds of fishy lunches.. ha...

So...

Monday (sorry I didn't get a post up, totally busy day.... swamped at work, the end of the school year rush.. etc...)

Lunch goes with the story Swim! Swim!

Goldfish bread (empty, cuz thats how g wanted it) with cheese eyes and a hat.  The rest --- cheese, turkey, grapes, star cucumbers, yogurt.


Today

Story
The Pout-Pout Fish in the Big-Big Dark

Goldfish bread - still empty, cheese eyes, and circle decorations...  The rest ---- cheese, turkey, grapes, cucumbers, a cookie and yogurt.

Boring Easy Lunch

Asked G what he wanted for his lunch today and he said chicken nuggets....

Easy Peezy, at least I had dino ones in the freezer..

Happy Feet

Last night I had to go to a meeting that was held at the Baltimore Aquarium :)  It was hosted by  Discovery Education. It was a nice time, but did make me a little sad to be away from my guys for the evening.

Discovery had a little gift for us.. this little guy

So this morning when G woke up he was sitting on the table for him.  He was very excited, so when I asked him what he wanted for lunch he held him up....

He has two Swiss and cheddar cheese penguins on a circle of bread.  The left over cheese and some roast beef.  Carrots, grapes, yogurt and a cookie.

Around One Cactus

G's Yaya sent him a book about a cactus since she lives in Arizona, well he has become pretty into it.  The book is called Around One Cactus.

So his lunches for the past to days have been based on animals from this book.

Tuesday

  The Gila Monster.  Rocks - crackers and bread, Gila Monster Cheese (was a dinosaur cutter, that I took the horns off of) with my natural dye colored on to resemble the Gila Monster.  He has the usual on the side, carrots, grapes, yogurt, turkey and a cookie hiding somewhere.

Today

The Rattlesnake

The desert is rice with veggies to represent the cactus.. (I know a tad stretch, but after my sad cactus during cinco de mayo I wasn't trying again)  The snake is cheese wound up colored to represent the snake.  He has pepperoni, the left over cheese, carrots, strawberries, crackers and a cookie.  he also has a yogurt, its just not pictured.

Alaska's Three Pigs

I didn't get a sheet with G's school theme for this week, so I asked him what he wanted last night... He brought me a book .  Alaska's Three Pigs.. His Nana and Papa brought it back for him from Alaska even before we knew he was coming :).  It's a version of the Three Pigs, but in Alaska and instead of the wolf, its a grizzly bear..

So he has a bear, (I am sure he will wish it was scarier) from bread, cheese eyes and mouth, cheese pigs, sun chips, left over cheese and pepperoni, yogurt carrots and grapes.. I think I hid a cookie under on of the cups too.

Beetle and Bee

Today is the last day of Insect lunches :(... G is having a picnic lunch provided by school tomorrow..

He has a bee and a beetle (bread with cheese, I cut out the holes with a straw), I haven't been sleeping well so today lunch isn't as creative as I was hoping for, but sleeping in a bit won out...

He has turkey and cheese, strawberries and grapes, carrots, his yogurt and a cookie
