Simple Seuss Sandwich

This week at Pickle's school they have been celebrating Seuss Week. Today I packed him a simple Cat in the Hat peanut butter sandwich:

The stripes were daubed on lightly using food markers. He also has some cookie dough Oreos & yogurt with coloured sugar sprinkles.

World Book Day - Bee A Reader!

It's World Book Day - but I forgot about it until I saw Eats Amazing blog about it! So nothing creative from me. If you want to see some creative bookish bentos, go see all the fun book-related posts chez Eats Amazing!

I did have some cute cupcake picks about reading so I stuck one in Bella's cheese bagel.  She also has cucumber wedges, Girl Scout cookies, & dried strawberries in the bagel hole (beneath the Bee A Reader pick).

Pickle got a bee sandwich.

He also got a couple of oatmeal cookies & a GoGurt.  Bella got a GoGurt too.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Today is Read Across America Day, & we're also remembering Dr. Seuss, the author & artist, whose birthday was yesterday!
"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child." ― Dr. Seuss ♥ 

I Seuss-ified Birdie's lunch:

• 1 Fish 2 Fish Red Fish Blue Fish cheese & Goldfish crackers
• Cat in the Hat striped Gala apple slices
• A Green egg & Ham, with a Crinklebine cupcake pick :)

And it's in a Cat in the Hat bento box!

I can read in blue.
I can read in pickle color too.”

Pickle's PB sandwich is Sam's sign, from Green Eggs & Ham  :)

No green eggs & ham though. My picky Pickle would not could not eat them here nor there nor anywhere, so instead, I gave him green yogurt  :)

Could you make it with a smile?

Pickle woke up really early today, so he was ready for lunch earlier than usual. I was up early too, with him, but I was not ready, I was tired and wanting a nap, and was still washing everyone else's breakfast dishes when he asked me to make his lunch. I told him I would make it "in a minute". I guess I said it in kind of a crabby voice, because he came over and lifted his hands to my cheeks and asked "Could you make it with a smile?" So I did.

Pickle can be very easy to please :)

Peanut Butter Lovers Day

Here it is Peanut Butter Lovers Day and my own little peanut butter lover didn't eat a single lick of the stuff! It's a Saturday - no school, I made him pizza for lunch... but here's what he had for lunch Friday :)

Pickle has a new ABA tutor who comes to our house to work with him, and at the end of Thursday evening's session they played Tic Tac Toe. She's also with him for lunch at school, and was looking forward to seeing his lunch the next day, so this sandwich was kind of for her as well :)

Bella's still on a bar kick so her lunch was a fast fix, even with bunny picks.

She does have all the food groups covered... Fruit, cantaloupe, check. Vegetable, cucumber, check. Dairy, Gogurt yogurt tube, check. Grain, Protein, Luna Bar, check. And even some gummy treats in the wee bunny box :)

The green & orange roundish things are frozen reusable ice shapes, that I stuck in to help keep her Gogurt cold. Yogurt is one of those foods, being full of good bacteria, that I don't actually need to be hyper about keeping chilled, but Bella likes hers icy for personal preference. I need to start freezing some in this L shape for easier Easy Lunchbox packing!
