Quinn's Lunches: Week 5

Due to Fall Break, Q only had 2 days at school this week. And,on the way in to school on our first day back he said, "Sometimes I don't want to leave school!." tear. Oh well..I guess loving school is better than the alternative! :)

Anyway, since the firetruck was coming today, I decided it would be fun to do some meals to go along with Quinn's first "field trip!"

Lunch #1: Thankfully I had this cute wooden cut out to help disguise my ridiculously sad fire truck sandwich. Valiant effort, right? I also added some 9-1-1 cheese, a pretzel stick fire pit and some "fire." (carrots)  

I used fruit leather on top of the bread to make the fire truck red...mini nilla wafer wheels (with food safe markers and a pretzel ladder. ...Oh, and it's hard to see, but there's a gummy life saver (cut in half) for the light on top!


Lunch #2: Making use of that cute fire truck again...with a fire dog in front. I tried to think of more "fireman" things, but ended up just packing odds and ends. I guess the Fruit by the Foot is a little like a fire hose! :)
Don't forget to order your own Easy Lunchboxes so that your little one can have fun lunches, too. And, since the containers are on backorder for a few more weeks, you still have the chance to get a FREE lunch tote!!!
