Catch up week #2.....

Still catching up from my hiatus of sickness I had.....

Week 2....I got the monthly news letter from school yesterday and they announced that this month's theme is going to be Medieval times!  So, naturally I saw this as a challenge :D

Monday:  My first attempt at a castle for the Medieval Times....I cut out a castle sandwich freehand and then added a cheddar cheese topping, with a cute little princess at the top of the castle peak and some marshmallow clouds for effect.  Then some green grapes and raspberries to top off the lunch box.  Then for the snack box I put celery and cheese (I find the cheese only stays nice until first break, if left too long it gets runny and turns into a mess so I always put in her snack box for her 10:40 break), some cottage cheese and a few swiss cheese crackers to finish it all off.

Tuesday:  Her snack box had a Babybel with my best shot at free-handing a princess crown into it, swiss cheese crackers, green grapes and raspberries and the lost princess mixed into the fruit.  Another castle in the lunch box, but this time I spelled "Castle" for her to have fun learning and seeing new words that go along with her school theme and also the lunch I made.  I free-handed the castle, had ham in the sandwich and used cucumber peels for the entry doors to the castle.  Finished that box off with some cucumbers and red peppers on skewers that were swords to keep with the theme as well.

So excited, I got Bento mail today!  I ordered these ADORABLE cutters from Zulily and got them today!!  Great household products, clothing for kids and adults, and decorating goodies too. Did I mention cheap too?..worth a look!  

Wednesday:  Today brought Lynden raspberries, a Babybel cheese, some mixed bits n Bites snack.  For her lunch I got to play with my new cutters and I must say I LOVE them!  I made the cute little sun and moon sandwiches, with a chocolate chip cookie (and don't forget a cute little puppy pic on the middle), and her favorite fan sliced strawberries with a new word spelled out for her "DOG" to go with the puppy pic.  Too much fun to make the lunches educational AND fun so easily!

Thursday:  Her lunch box today was all about crackers and cheese snack food.  I gave her some skewered ham, soda crackers with cheddar cheese slices in them, a few pieces of beef jerky, sliced cucumbers and red peppers.  Her snack box is ranges, raspberries, dried apricots and come cute goldfish crackers to finish off the mix of snack foods today.

Friday: Started out with some celery and cheese, sliced boiled egg and some cute letter shaped "Fruit Krisps" cracker/cookies (they have dried fruit in them and are pretty yummy, with a letter stamped into top of each too for bonus fun).  In her lunch I had fun with the new cutters again!  A sun and moon, with the star Babybel to match.  Then some cute crinkle cut carrots and cucumber slices to top it all off...

Voila....there is the week in review for my munchkin!
