Both boys had packed lunches every day they went to school this week, so we have a full house!
You’ll notice that Wyatt’s lunches are really plain. We’ve been working together the last few weeks to come up with lunches he’s comfortable taking to school because of all the teasing he’s experienced lately. One thing he’s been pretty insistent on is sticking with our Laptop Lunches boxes which a few of his friends also use. So that’s why his meals are almost exclusively in those boxes.
Monday
On Monday, Wyatt had grapes, carrots, garlic naan, mandarin oranges and turkey meatballs with ketchup for dipping. We’re trying to keep things super plain (so as not to attract attention) so the only extra I included was one of my ever-present silicone baking cups
Tuesday
On Tuesday, Augie had a rocket ship lunch appropriately packed in our PlanetBox
Wyatt had celery and bean dip (cleverly camouflaged in a green container, orange wedges, meatballs and naan.
Wednesday
On Wednesday, Augie’s lunch was packed in our Lunchbots Trio: ham roll-ups on animal picks, wheat thins, orange wedges, celery and cucmber slices.
Wyatt also had a snacky lunch: tortialla chips, turkey roll-ups, celery, carrots, bean dip for dipping (in the blue box), a mandarin orange with a smiley face, and pineapple salsa in a mini dipper
The kids have been playing “Annoying Orange” with the fruit in our fruit bowl lately so I thought Wyatt might get a kick out of me drawing on my orange, but I was wrong. He told me he managed to turn the face upside down before anyone saw it but I was instructed not to do that again, please.
Thursday
I bought some cute R2-D2 “Easter eggs” at Target over the weekend so I was inspired to put together some simple Star Wars lunches. Augie’s was packed in a single layer of our monbento
Wyatt also gave me permission to make him a Star Wars lunch! Woo hoo! He had Darth Vadar and Yoda ham sandwiches (made with cutters from the same set I mentioned above), carrots with a Stormtrooper ring, R2-D2 with goldfish and strawberries and grapes on a light saber pick.
Friday
Augie’s lunch today was a quicky: little cookies, Triscuits, celery sticks, sugar snap peas, sesame soy meatballs (recipe via Cooking Light), strawberries and a mandarin orange. This was packed in our 4-up Lock & Lock box.
Wyatt actually asked me to use the Planetbox this morning so I did. He had strawberries, two ham roll-ups, one sesame soy meatball (placed in a peapod cup), wheat thins, lemon yogurt, oranges and little cookies.
We nearly had a disaster with the yogurt. After I took a picture of this lunch, I closed the box and packed it into Wyatt’s lunch bag to put in his back pack. Just as he was about to walk out the door to school I noticed the lid for the yogurt container on the counter. Yikes! We quickly got his lunch out to assess the damage and though a little yogurt had spilled on the lid and into the large compartment, it hadn’t made it’s way to any of the other food. I quickly wiped it up and put the lid on and sent him on his way. Phwew!
