After a few weeks of colds and vacation, we had a jam-packed week of lunches last week. Read on to see what the boys had in their bento boxes:

Monday
On Monday I started things off with an easy lunch for Wyatt. He had a biscuit, pretzel goldfish, leftover sliced steak, Thin Mints, radishes and strawberries packed in an EasyLunchboxes bento box
Augie had the apple lunch I packed for the Tree Top Apple Sauce post I wrote yes last week.
Tuesday
Wyatt had another mish mash lunch on Tuesday with lots of random items pulled from the fridge: the last biscuit from the batch, some blue corn tortilla chips, radishes, leftover chicken kebabs, and strawberries. This was packed in a Laptop Lunches box. (If you’d like to enter to win one of these great boxes along with a copy of my book
Augie’s lunch was pretty similar: chicken kebabs, strawberries, celery sticks, blue corn tortilla chips and his beloved cucumbers. I dressed it up by cutting a few of the cukes into bear shapes and added a little bear pick too. Augie’s nickname is “Little Bear” so when I include a bear in his lunch, it’s a little unwritten “I love you” from me to him.
The chips were from a sample bag of chips that Way Better Snacks sent me. We’ve tried 3 or 4 flavors of these chips now and so far we like them a lot. The boys like these blue ones best.
(This was packed in a Yumbox.)
Wednesday
On Wednesday I packed Wyatt a modified version of the Space Bento I made in last week’s video: blueberries, grapes with a flying saucer pick
Augie had a PlanetBox lunch. I started by making two stuffed sandwiches — a bear and a business monkey — with my Animal Palz cutter/stamper set
Thursday
Thursday, Augie had a LunchBots Trio with cucumbers, pita chips, peanut butter and jelly “sushi“, blueberries, strawberries and a bag of Crispy Fruit freeze-dried mangos.
We also got a big pack of Crispy Fruit in several flavors to try. We LOVE this stuff. All of the flavors we’ve had are good, but the mango and the pineapple are our favorites.
Wyatt had school lunch.
Friday
I pulled out an EasyLunchboxes bento box
Augie and I packed his lunch together. He found some food dividers I haven’t used much when he was looking through my bento drawers and he wanted to include them in this lunch so as I added the food, he tucked them into the box. He had dried cranberries, coffee cake with a little bear hiding behind it, a hamster hiding in his cucumbers, a puppy with his dumplings and a bunny in the blueberries.
