For lunch today I packed a turkey sandwich on a Hawaiian sub roll with two cheesy bears on top.

Saltines and a clementine round out this lunch.

I normally don’t post lunch pics on the weekends but I thought today’s lunch was pretty cute and worth a quick post.

Camryn and her Dad had a park day today so I made her a quick lunch to bring with her.

Since the park sits right on the bay, they always take time to walk down the pier and watch the fish and the boats go by. Since I had fish and a boat cutter, I couldn’t resist.

I packed two dolphin sandwiches, cheese fish, waves, and a boat, Goldfish, and grapes.

Happy Friday!

Today’s lunch is pretty simple.

Camryn asked for more meat and cheese roll-ups so I made some for her using salami and mozzarella. She also has a cat sandwich filled with Jif Hazelnut spread, strawberries, grapes, and tiny saltines.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

For lunch today, Cam has half of a ham sandwich with little mozzarella chicks on top.

She also has strawberries, grapes, carrot sticks, and a couple grape tomatoes underneath.

In the other section she has tortilla chips and chocolate animal crackers.

Cam had a big important test yesterday that took up most of her afternoon.

She still has another section of that test that needs to be done in 2 more weeks so we won’t know how she did for some time, but I know my daughter and even at 5, she takes academics very seriously so I thought a “great job” pick would be perfect for today’s lunch.

Cam has lunch meat and cheese roll-ups, carrot and celery sticks, tortilla chips, chocolate animal crackers, and strawberries for lunch today.

I ♥ our new Lock&Lock box.

The sections are removable so it can be configured many different ways to accommodate what you want to pack or how you want things to be arranged. There’s a lot of food happening today and it’s all fitting snug as a bug in that 6″x6″ box up there.

For lunch today I removed one of the divided sections and put a granola bar on the side, then I slid the remaining section up against the granola bar to hold it in place.

In the divided section there is a salad (sort of) of grape tomatoes, celery and carrots, and there are two butterfly sandwiches in the lower part.

On the side are four turkey and cheese roll-ups, grapes, and those teeny saltines that Cam is nuts about.

Hi guys!

I was chomping at the bit to use Cam’s new Lock&Lock box so I made her a quick lunch in it today.

 

Cam has strawberries, tiny saltines (she loves those), grapes on the vine, a mozzarella penguin (for Penguin Awareness Day), turkey roll-ups on spinach, and some yogurt with a few colored sprinkles.

I hope you’re all having a great weekend! ♥

Camryn was so excited about this lunch this morning.

“You made me a kitty sandwich – AND IT HAS A SPRINKLE!!!”

It’s the little things.

Her lunch today also has a clementine, strawberries, celery sticks, mozzarella bears and three chocolate covered almonds in the little clover box.
