Kidlet complained yesterday that his lunch needed to be bigger, so today I used a large container and packed quite a lot. I don’t expect him to eat it all, but want to see if I can get a sense of what the right amount would be. The 320ml boxes are definitely too small unless […]
 I bought a new pocket sandwich maker. It’s not much more than a glorified cookie cutter honestly, with just a slightly wider rim for sealing the edges. It does automatically press the facial features in though. I’d wanted to emphasize those by filling them in with some meat and cheese accents and kidlet emphatically […]
 Kidlet informed me that he was tired of cheese and he didn’t want a cute lunch at all. Well, I hope that is just a momentary request! PB and homemade blueberry jam on mini crescent rolls, gold and red raspberries, sungold cherry tomatoes.
 The theme this week is Transportation / Things That Go Baby L was quite sick earlier in the week and still runny nosed and fussy today. I got hit hard with her cold halfway through the week, so once again, things were cut a little short, and my documentation is less than ideal. Baby […]
This week is shaping up to be as crazy as last week. I’m over 100 people short so far of our average volunteer pool with one week left for submissions (our school has about 300 students and usually around 150 parent volunteers). While getting that many in the last week will absolutely swamp me, I […]
 Not really a “theme” this week, except I guess “basics” – the alphabet in general, numbers, colors and shapes. Baby L is 15.5 months I had *so* much going on with the volunteer coordination job for Kidlet’s school (I had to teach 2 training sessions, and spent a lot of time prepping for that) […]
 Egg salad on a butter roll, carrot curls, apple and blueberries.
 Not much variety in this one. I need to pick up more veggies that he will actually eat. Cheese car with nori wheels on ham and cheese sandwich, checkered apple, blueberries.
 I had about 27 things to get done last night, none of which did get done. Hubby had to go out after dinner to entertain his project manager who is in from the Chicago area (we’re in Oregon), and keeping up with both kids and getting them both bathed and into bed took a […]
 I should mention that while I pick a theme for the week, that doesn’t mean we aren’t talking about that topic at other times. I just like having a theme to help me pick the toys and activities for the week. We won’t suddenly stop trying to teach Baby L about her body parts […]
