Oh my! I had quite a week last week! My book
But meanwhile, in my own home, it was a pretty pathetic situation. I got hit with a bronchial infection over the weekend and I spent much of my time in bed trying to recover. This translated to pretty basic and — in Wyatt’s case — non-existent packed lunches! This is what they looked like:

Monday
Monday, I turned to our Yumbox to put Wyatt’s lunch together as quickly as I could. He had canned pineapple chunks, a mix of cheese and pretzel goldfish crackers, Saltine crackers, a honey lemon candy, blueberries and some ham roll-ups on animal picks. With the exception of the crackers, I packed all this the night before and boy was I grateful to myself for that!
Augie’s lunch was also pre-packed in our Lego bento box
Tuesday
Tuesday Wyatt had leftover pasta in the Thermos food jar
Augie had a circus bento from my book, Everyday Bento
Wednesday
Wednesday Augie had a PlanetBox lunch: a jar of hummus (in one of these containers), snap peas, pineapple and cantaloupe, a sealed apple sandwich (not my best work!), and leftover roasted chicken with a grumpy giraffe pick.
This was the morning I was feeling my worst and I made Wyatt eat school lunch. I would have done the same for Augie if that had been an option.
Thursday
I was still feeling awful Thursday, so I kept Augie’s lunch as simple as possible: celery sticks, deli turkey spirals, Triscuits and cantaloupe. I packed this in our Lock & Lock 4 square bento box.
Wyatt had school lunch again.
Friday
On Friday I dug the PlanetBox out for Augie’s lunch again: celery, baked teriyaki tofu, apple chunks, pita chips and a container of hummus.
Wyatt had a thermos with leftover pasta in it, but I forgot to take a picture. It would have been a boring picture anyway, so you really aren’t missing much.
