It doesn't look like we'll have a white Christmas on Whidbey Island... unless all these raindrops turn into snowflakes!
The sproutlets are really wishing for snow... and Sprout's yubo lunchbox containers are just right for building a snowman lunch!
She's going to love taking this lunch to school! It's so festive & fun even before she unpacks it, with it's Holly Jolly holiday yubo faceplate! Add to that the Christmassy Lunchbox Love & red spork and lunch looks a bit like a present :)
Sprout's snowman is made of yogurt, cheese sandwiches, & a powdered sugar mini donut. She also has strawberries (frozen, but will thaw by lunch), red & green grapes, apple wedges, & baby carrots.
The snowman wears a Hersey's Kiss hat. His features are mini chocolate chips. And his nose is an orange Smarties... but not an American Smarties (which are called Rockets in Canada & the UK)... the original Smarties, which my parents bring us from Canada :) I secured the candy with cookie frosting.
The top of her stack of cheese sandwiches is decorated with large sprinkles, & the Santa snowmen picks are from a peg game found at Dollar Tree!
I've had people ask me things like, "How does that look by the time it's been carried to school?" So I thought I'd find out! Here's lunch, looking all cute:
I put the lids on everything, except the donut - that I stuffed a cloth napkin in with, to keep it in place, and for cleaning up the mess that comes with powdered sugar donuts! Tucked in a spoon for the yogurt, and the Lunchbox Love, snapped on the lid, then had Birdie carry it around for a bit.
Next I unpacked it to see what being swung around sideways did:
Not bad at all! Some shifting of the fruit and turning of the round containers themselves, and some of the yogurt's sprinkles stuck to the lid, but everything surived, still looking pretty cute! And yummy :)
