I asked what the new unit theme for this week was going to be when I picked him up on Thursday last week, but Kidlet’s teacher couldn’t remember off the top of her head. So, not unit themed yet, just a generic piggy bento for the day. Quail eggs make an appearance. However, I didn’t […]
The morning “preschool” hours on Disney channel contain no normal commercials. They have ads for thier own shows, and small (usually educational) shorts to fill the space at the end of programs until the next hour. A few years ago, they aired a series called “This is Daniel Cook“. Daniel is a cute little red head […]
Elephants were requested by Kidlet today. The box is a new lock and lock that I picked up from Uwajimaya yesterday. I want to post about that trip, it was a good one! Probably tomorrow. There’s no school, so most likely no bento to post anyway. PB and honey on whole wheat, a lunchmeat (hand cut) […]
I don’t know if a giraffe is actually a grasslands animal. They eat leaves, which means they need trees and there aren’t a lot of trees in the grasslands? I don’t know; the unit information page had little mini animals printed all over it, and it had giraffes and I adore them; Giraffes are my “can’t […]
The unit this week in Kidlet’s kindergarten class is “grassland animals”. The Lion is also the school’s mascot, so I decided that was the grassland animal I’d start with this week. Lion is turkey and cheddar on a sesame seed roll with meat and cheese features, scallion whiskers and carrot curl mane. The eyes are […]
When I was photographing today’s bento lunch, Kidlet asked if he could take the picture today. Why not? It’s digital, it’s not like its going to waste film. “sure,” says I. I thought I’d get a blurry photo or two of the whole lunch, perhaps off center. Instead, I got these:  Maybe I should have […]
The art literacy program at my son’s school is provided solely by volunteers on a class by class basis. There were no takers for kidlet’s class, so although I’m not particularly *artisitic* or passionate about any specific artists, I decided to take it on so he and his Kindergarten class wouldn’t go without the program. […]
On my endless quest for quail eggs, I went to Zupan’s market the other day. I don’t shop there often, although I normally like to frequent locally owned business. They have lots of local foods, and a gourmet selection of items. But they are so expensive.  A post on the internet said they might […]
This day was exhausting! My mom comes every other week to spend the day with baby L and let me volunteer at kidlet’s school. Today was thier Harvest Party, and I was running one of the tables (we set up 4 stations and they rotated around to each). I had them making bookmarks. I have […]
Yesterday’s monster was a big hit. Kidlet even  had kids from other classrooms crowding around to look, and they wouldn’t let him eat until they all got a chance to see –  lol! PB and Banana on whole grain white, strawberries, grape tomatoes, carrot and asparagus. Monster is a piece of cheddar on a piece of […]
