The Week in Bentos: October 28-31, 2008

October 31, 2008

Another week, another batch of lunches. Read all the way to the bottom for a spoooooky lunch! Tuesday I gave Wyatt a thermos with buttered noodles in it, so the bento box I sent was one of the smaller ones. I purchased this box specifically to go along with thermos meals because I don’t want [...]
