This week’s lunches started off looking a little boring with leftovers and thermoses and stuff, but as the week went on I ramped up the Christmas lunches. Take a look at what the boys had:

Monday
We had take-out pizza on Sunday and I pre-packed a slice for Wyatt in an EasyLunchboxes
Augie is always a little iffy on pizza — sometimes he likes it and sometimes he doesn’t — so I waited until the morning to ask if he wanted the other slice of leftover pizza in his lunch. He answered with a very excited “Yes!”, but when I went to the fridge to get it out it was gone! Turns out Daddy ate it after we all went to bed. Crap! I thought fast, cut Wyatt’s slice into pieces and slid one of them into Augie’s box. Day saved! He also had caramel corn and oranges and in addition to the carrots he had snap peas, grape tomatoes and a bit of hummus in a Lego container. This was also packed in an EasyLunchboxes bento box
Tuesday
On Tuesday both kids had leftover “goulash” in a thermos (really just macaroni with hamburger, sauce and a little mozzarella), with a side car holding a Cutie and some veggies. I was in a crazy rush to get Wyatt out of the house, so I only have a picture of Augie’s lunch.
Wednesday
On Wednesday, I decided to bring a little Christmas to Augie’s PlanetBox
Wyatt had school lunch.
Thursday
On Thursday, Wyatt got this wintery Yumbox lunch: rainbow carrots (I found these at Trader Joes and they’re sooooo pretty), bean dip, spritz cookies, garlic naan cut into snowflakes
Augie had stripey apples, rainbow carrots, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that were cute and stamped to look like Santa’s sleigh and one of his reindeer, and Triscuits. This lunch was packed in the PlanetBox
Friday
Today, Wyatt had a Laptop Lunches bento: dried cranberries, a gingerbread reindeer, an orange, a little leftover pork on a Santa pick and Santa and elf raspberry jam sandwiches.
And Augie wrapped up the week with a Snoopy Christmas Yumbox: leftover Israeli couscous with a Woodstock ring, orange slices with a Charlie Brown ring, ham spirals with a Christmas tree pick, dried cranberries, Snoopy jam sandwiches and some Persian cucumbers.
