Another basic Lock & Lock for Beanstalk. I opted to leave the dishes by the sink and go to bed as soon as I tucked the sproutlets in, so his PlanetBox was not clean. I really ought to pick up a 2nd stainless container for him - he prefers the metal to the plastic these days. Maybe a LunchBots. If anyone has one of those, I'd love to hear your pros and cons. You've seen what I pack him, would you recommend a LunchBots, and if so, which one?
And what's this you see? I almost never buy fruit snacks for their lunches! It's not that I have anything against fruit snacks - I love sweets! If I knew they would eat them as a dessert, after they'd finished their healthy lunch, I'd pack them more often. But I know them, they will eat the gummies first, and I don't want them skipping out on the good stuff because they used up some of their precious 15 minutes of lunch time on the junk food :)
Anyways, Beanstalk has Sprout to thank for these - she begged me to buy them for him because he likes Phineas & Ferb. How could I say no and squelch her thoughtfulness & generosity? ;) And the chocolate milk... ok, I'll be honest, I had reached that point of grocery shopping with my little ones where I say "fine, just put it in the cart and let's go". And this was Birdie's choice, but then what do you know, she took a couple of sips, proclaimed it "yut" and asked for white milk. The chocolate milk boxes come in packs of 3 so Beanstalk and Bella got the other 2, surprise treats :)
Bella also has a bagel thins sandwich, with applewood smoked ham, sharp white & yellow cheddar, and red & yellow pepper flowers, and some celery with peanut butter for dipping.
Happy Weekend Everyone!
Wait, where is my head? I seriously did almost forget to pick and post winners of the Rainbow Kits from my Giveaway! Yes, Kits, plural - in case you missed the update, I've got 2 to give away now! OK, I'm off to Random.org to draw winners right now!
(hum dum dee dum ... some time passes)


Bella's sammie looks sooooooo yummers. Congrats to Pammy & Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI use Lunchbots container and I really like them a lot. I use the Eco by itself or I will send my son with the duo and the. Ummmm. I forgot the name of it now. I wanna say UNO. The one that is the same size as the duo. Those are my favorites and most used. Then I use the silicone cups and bento baran to separate food. Works great!
ReplyDeleteI love my lunchbots a lot. They have a new 4 portioned one called the Quad that would work well for what you pack Beanstalk.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up to Food Adventure Friday! I actually read this last week but was unable to comment because I was multitasking (nursing) at the same time! I love the way you cater your children's' lunches to their individual needs and I think it's wonderful that you were able to get pickle to take a risk and try something new!
