Pig

Yesterday was National Pig Day. Not quite sure the significance, but I had an idea for a pig, but not an idea for Peanut Butter Lover's Day. So a pig it was!

Ryan and AJ's lunches:
pickle; smoked Tofurky
"flower"; carrot "flowers";
gel cups; asian rice crackers;
pink rice pig with soy cheese
ears & nose, nori eyes, &
strawberry jam cheeks;
steamed broccoli; purple
grapes.



Maia asked for a "butterfly sandwich" for her lunch...
Maia's lunch for preschool: pickle; baby carrot; steamed broccoli; purple grapes; jam sandwich.

And Monday's lunches...
Ryan & AJ: edamame; sauteed asparagus; soba noodles; orange slices.

February sure didn't FEEL short!

And here is the backlog of February bentos...
I'm guessing this was Ryan's lunch, because AJ doesn't like lots of blueberries! At this point I can't remember what was in each sandwich unless the middle is showing: Cucumber slices, carrot, cantaloupe & blueberries; a sandwich.

lunch for recouperating
boys: peanut butter &
jelly sandwiches; Nudgie
