good morning, lunch!

This was my son's idea.  Usually if I ask him for some good ideas for his lunch, he rattles off the usual suspects and bolts towards the playroom for a lego build-a-thon as quickly as he can.  This time, he grabbed his new favorite cereal and gave me a cheesy 'I'll have some of this' kinda smile.
I think he was expecting me to say no.
I love shocking my kids.  Come on now, I own a cereal cookbook my poor mother purchased sometime in the 80's because at one point in my single digit years I vowed to only live off of cereal.
Of course I was on board!

So, for this breakfasty lunch we have Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal.  There are EXACTLY 29 little 'biscuits'.  My son counted out a serving size.  The box says 29 is a serving.  29?  How random.  I think it should be 30 and they should up the size of the box a bit.
I digress...
Along side the 29 cereal nuggets is a container of fresh mango and fresh pineapple, a hard boiled egg, and a banana.  I will add milk to his drink bottle in the morning and an extra ice pack tomorrow to keep it icy cold!

  5. Alli - We have the laptop lunchbox system (2.o version ) for each kid and 2 extra sets of 'buddies'. there is a link to laptop lunchboxes to the right. you can use the code lunchboxlimbo to save 10% on your order.

    I am getting a set of 'easy lunchboxes' shipped to me to try. They are a little cheaper and have less things to wash - I'll be posting about them after I try them out.

  6. My kids LOVE breakfast-for-lunch day! We just had one last week. I usually cut waffles into strips and put in a *very* small amount of maple syrup for dipping - along with yogurt, fruit, granola/cereal, or other breakfast-y foods. The thing I love most about breakfast for lunch is that it's SUPER easy to pack!
