With Halloween just around the corner, kidlet’s class is doing a monster-themed unit this week, so I thought I would try and make monster lunches the rest of the week. Of course I used up two monster ideas last week, doh! Today’s lunch was inspired by a piece of art on flickr. Peanut butter and […]
Friday night was fall fun night at Kidlet’s school, and he is really getting pumped for Halloween now! They had two haunted “houses” – one for the little kids and then the other for 3rd grade +. After he went through the young one, he said “That wasn’t scary at all!” and made me wait […]
Oh wait, there are six little pumpkins. Drat, I should have used the witch chocolate instead! 😉 A crazy morning again. I need to either get more sleep so I wake up ready to go and stop dragging the first 30 minutes, or find some way to streamline the morning routine. Since sleeping isn’t always […]
Another Halloween bento today. Yesterdays was a big hit, although he only nibbled a little of the cucumber. PB & J Monster with cheese and grape eyes, crunching jicama skulls and bones, with a little jelly “blood”. Black and green grapes, pepperoni and pasta bats flitting around. Time taken: 20 minutes all this morning (jicama […]
Today is a late start day. You’d think since we didn’t have to show up until 10 instead of 8am that I would be less rushed. No such luck! Baby L was up really really early and I ended up lightly dozing (that’s not the best word for it, I’m fully aware of whats going […]
I’ve been promising pictures of my obsession for a while. Picks and cutters are my worst offences. I have a fair amount of mayo cups and soy sauce bottles, mostly purchased before I actually started packing Kidlet meals. Once I realized how little use those would get for us right now, I stopped picking those […]
The shot on this one isn’t great. I took a couple others, but I’ve been having problems with my camera for a while. Either it ends up off center (even though it looked centered when I took it, even in the preview window thingy after it was taken), or else half the photo ends up […]
I think (hope) that this week will be a little bit calmer. It would almost have to be, wouldn’t it? ;) I’ve got a dentist appointment this morning (grr, I need a filling replaced), and Friday night is “Fall Fun Night”, but I haven’t committed to doing anything for that. the middle of the week […]
I had 45 minutes to get the kidlet dressed, fed and ready to go. I also had to make his snack, his lunch, and prepare the baked goods tray for Grandparents Day in that same time frame. It was a rushed morning. Bento turned out fairly one note in color. Pepperoni and mozzarella puff pastry […]
I’m really tired and dragging, with another 2 hours of classroom volunteering and the baking left to do. I know I’m complaining, but honestly, I feel very fortunate that I AM able to take the time to do this. A full time working mom wouldn’t have the chance to exhause herself this way; and it’s […]
