most boring bento award

Slacker! Yes, that's me!! I didn't make an April Fool's bento, or even an Easter bento! Though admittedly bunnies and chicks and eggs don't have great appeal to a 7 year old boy...I'll have to wait until Maia is older.

I didn't even think Tuesday's
lunch warranted a large
photo!!

Ryan's lunch: Tofurky
bagel sandwich; cucumber
slices; baby carrots;
strawberries.

Wednesday...
Ryan's lunch: fresh pineapple & strawberries; blanched spinach; mini pita triangles w/peanut butter; mini gel cup; grapes; mini banana blueberry muffin; steamed asparagus; gherkin pickle; smoked Tofurky rolls.

There were a few birthday
parties to contend with, so
we all enjoyed some cup-
cakes...chocolate with
vanilla icing and melted
dark chocolate stripes.

Thursday...

Ryan's lunch: grapes;
dark chocolate covered
pretzels; brown rice w/
stirfry (bok choy, broccoli,
asparagus, snap peas, baby
corn, chik'n strips). I was
happy to find fresh baby
corn at the regular super-
market!

The rains FINALLY
stopped. Our county was
ultimately declared a
disaster area (giving every-
one an extra month on taxes)
and earning our town a brief
visit from President Obama.

So we moved the picnic table
up the yard a bit, above the
water level, and enjoyed a
dinner in the sunshine. We
had corn, rolls, roasted pota-
toes, salad, pineapple & straw-
berries, sauteed spinach, &
bbq tempeh.


So what did I do inside during all that rain?? Obviously I wasn't making fancy bento. I was busy with another creative hobby though. Here is one of the many stamps I carved:
