Weekend Bento

Yesterday, Robbie endured an entire day at his daddy's office. So - he asked for a bento again. I haven't been to the grocery store in a long time, so it wasn't very exciting (in my opinion). Luckily, bento lunches are still a novelty to the kids.

I mixed the snack bento with the lunch bento thinking that my son would save a little for later. I think I was wrong - all it did is keep him from eating his sandwich as he went for everything else first.

Contents of first bento: Wheat crackers, string cheese circles and peanuts. Grapes and pretzels.

Contents of second bento: carrots, raisins, jelly sandwich on top of veggie sticks. An egg for dessert with M&Ms in it.

Have I mentioned before that I really need to get bigger bentos for the kids. Of course, I don't think they mind my using several bentos - this way they get more than one "reveal".

Today my husband is taking this Sunday to spend with the family before he starts working everyday, long hours. We aren't sure what we are going to do. I have a feeling it will be a day of running errands.


Thank you to everyone for their emails and comments of support. While I'm still overwhelmed, I'm feeling a little better about my chances of making it until my mother-in-law gets hereto help me out.
