It gets really windy where we live, and there's a lot of Dutch influence around town - even a couple of windmills - so the cookie was perfect - and the crackers behind the cheese leaves remind me of windblown clouds :) Under the windmill is a green dip container with caramel for the checkered apple slices (thanks Bento for Kidlet). The orange muffin cup holds spiced almonds, and the brown one, mixed nuts. Grapes (on leaf picks) and cheddar leaves add colour and yumminess.
The little girls have muffin tins with carrot hearts, a maple sandwich cookie, mixed nuts, applesauce (with an apple leaf on top), grapes, and cheese. I'm betting against them trying the nuts, but, sometimes they surprise me.
It's a salami, provolone and cheddar sandwich, cut with several different Match & Munch Lunch Punches, grapes, & mixed melon balls. I was going to write something corny on the EasyLunchbox lid, something along the lines of "a piece of my heart will be missing while you're away" ... but I didn't get around to it in time. Ah well, it's a short trip, he'll be home for the holidays, I'll have more chances to be corny :)
All super adorable! I love the missing piece of your heart :( I am glad he will be back for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteThese are so great! My hubby's leaving Sunday for San Francisco and RUSSIA(!) Longest we've ever been apart in 23 years. I need to get as "corny" as you. So sweet. He'd totally love it :)
ReplyDeleteRussia - wow, bet that's a long plane ride! You could sneak some "lunchbox love"-type notes in his baggage or pockets for him to find while he's away :)
ReplyDeleteso weird, i posted a comment earlier and it's not showing :/ maybe i forgot to do the "code word" junk after i hit post :P LOL

i seriously love all your lunches - they're alway so bright & colorful. they make me smile. :)
Where do you get all your different picks from? The leaves are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteAwww. That "a piece will be missing" bento is so sweet. I guess it's "bitter-sweet", really. I feel for you. It's so hard for everyone when Daddy is away. Glad he'll be home soon. xo lunchpunch
