First farm pickup of the season, first hot weather, first popsicles of the year, Nate's first time playing in the pool, opening of the local farmer's market, first time I've had a kid officially "graduate" from something.
Last day of preschool, last preschool snack bentos of the school year, last month of pregnancy (I hope), last of our frozen stash of pumpkin & pesto from last year.
Sunday:


Popsicles in the pool. It was in the 90's for a few days.
Monday:



AJ's snack: pumpkin-carrot-apple mini muffin; rice ball; green beans; banana piece.
Ryan's lunch for grandma's house: pbj sandwich; banana piece; orange slices; carrots; chocolate sandwich cookie; Animal Parade vanilla calcium vitamin.



Tuesday:



of the season:
- 1 bag mixed baby greens
- 1 head red leaf lettuce
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 2 baby bok choy
- big bag of pea shoots
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 bunch red radishes
- 3 stalks rhubarb
- 1 bunch chives

- 1 marigold plant
We immediately used the
kale for dinner with a whole
wheat spaghetti with the
Barbara's Kale Cream Sauce
Over Pasta recipe from
Debra Wasserman's cookbook
Simply Vegan. A salad of
romaine & mixed baby greens, chives, & local greenhouse-grown tomatoes completed the meal.
Wednesday:



salad in rice wraps with
mixed baby greens &
pea shoots.
Thursday:

boys' lunch: tofu salad
sandwich on whole
wheat roll; orange slices;
baby carrots.

Ryan watering some flowers.

With only 1/2 a dozen
vendors, the first local
farmer's market of the

season in our town is
small, but it was still
nice to visit. I picked
up some local red potatoes
dug that morning, along
with an animal-free soap
from a local artisan.

Recently I discovered that my favourite sling and mei tei had been ruined in the back of my car over the winter due to a leak in the trunk and had become covered in mold. One of the items in the package was a brand new Babyhawk mei tei, along with other gifts from Little Willow which is a natural baby products store owned by one of the mamas in our group. I was so touched!

with marinated mushrooms
and the last of our frozen
pesto from last season.
Friday:


Then his class enjoyed some popsicles together.

AJ also received a portfolio
of his artwork and a small
gift from his teacher. His
class had an ice cream
sundae party (which we
brought along vegan ice
cream, sprinkles, whipped
cream & chocolate sauce for
of course).

Nate enjoyed checking out
the train table and toys in
the classroom where he will
be in the fall.

The kiddos said that you're an artist! They want me to make them a pirate bento.
I love the spring scene! And I really must try sushi this summer. Thanks for the inspiration! And, wishing you all the best in this last month of pregnancy.
Misty - Can't wait to see the pirate bentos! Do you have any summer occasions to pack bentos?
inanna - I love sushi when pregnant...I think I crave the salt. Thanks for the good wishes.
Any vertex vibes for this baby would be appreciated, as it has been consistently transverse for a long time.
