I have a sickness.
It's May 22, I have 12 days that I still have to come to work before summer.
And I'm already shopping & planning for the girls' first full year of elementary school.
First off, we had to have backpacks. And since Pottery Barn Kids was having a sale (I got one of the backpacks for $19!), and free shipping - I hopped on it. Audrey picked the Chocolate Geo pattern & Natalie picked the Chocolate Floral.
But of course I couldn't just stop there. I've been searching for lunch ideas, other than lunchables. I'd love to do bento boxes, but ain't nobody got time for stuff like these super cute ones....at least not in my house! I'm also pretty sure the girls would FLIP if they found Yoda staring back at them in their lunch box. Not to mention, after carpool, sitting in a classroom for a few hours, and being carried by almost 5 year olds to the cafeteria, all my hard work would look more like a Pollock.
But I found some supplies on Amazon, and they are rather cheap (like $3-4), that I think might make them more eager to eat their PBJ and fruit. Or possibly use to trade for square pizzas and cookies, who knows?
I think I could probably pull off lunches like this. Maybe not every day, but some days. They look pretty basic, and it's just the little things (picks, silicone cups, shaped sammies) that make it look nice.
What do you pack for your kids for lunch?
I'm in need of some ideas, because the girls have never had to have lunch outside of our house - and I certainly get in ruts with what we eat.
