Still sick and miserable but I managed to get most bento prep done last night. Kidlet loves cars (although ATM bakugan is trumping all) so I went car crazy.  I picked up a lot of car theme things when I was gathering supplies in anticipation of packing bento. Even with all I used, I still have another pile of it, hehe.  His k class is learning to read “I am” this week. Kidlet is way beyond that but I figured I’d include the lesson anyway.

 

 

Ham and cheese sandwich, black flame grapes, blackberries, apple and peaches cut into car shapes in the blue cup  broccoli and “am I fast?” spelled out in carrot.  Can you even read that? I had to tuck them into the broccoli pretty deep in hopes that they’ll stay until lunchtime. He has been so hungry when gets home I’m trying to add a little more protein to see if that helps. There’s fresh mozzarella balls (itty bitty carrot cars stuck to them) and a car shaped egg.

 

It doesn’t feel quite right though. I can’t put my finger on it (or I would have fixed it). Maybe the colors aren’t balanced – too much white, not enough … something?

 

Time taken: about 30 minutes. I might have been able to go a little faster but I’m still tired, sick, and a bit foggy.
