first. He drew this

2 Craisins, cucumber,
yellow wax beans,
grapes, black sesame seeds, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar.

a very
serious
expression
whenever
he shows
off his
cooking.
We all
tried
some
and it
actually
wasn't
bad!

Nate is ready to go!
We are very fortunate
to live less than a mile
from the New England
Wildflower Society's
Garden In The Woods.
We met a friend and her
boys there and walked
the trails.

running business
errands, so I made a
"picnic" dinner for
Ryan and Nate to
share: mini vegetable
potstickers; quartered
wheat pita bread;
Nate's meatless
meatballs; carrot sticks; cherry tomatoes; diced pineapple & mango; blueberries; cucumber.
While they were out my husband picked up a Rubbermaid ice blanket at REI that I can cut into small portions for the boys' lunchboxes this fall. So cheap too. Hooray!

1st - I enjoy your blog :) 2d - where did you find the Thomas the Train Bento??? That would be such a hit at our place!!!!
I finally resorted to eBay for the Thomas bento. If you keep watching "thomas bento" auctions once a week you'll likely have a good deal come along soon.
You make such good looking lunches! Where do you order your bento box goodies from? Do you have any website you would suggest?
