Quinn’s Lunches: Week 6

Quinn had some fun lunches this week. I loved coming up with a few little creative touches for each day. And, I used the Easy Lunchboxes, of course!

Lunch #1: Quinn has been learning about creation/Adam & Eve at church and at school. He’s so interested in the fact that the snake told Eve to eat the apple and that she & Adam disobeyed God. I’ve been so impressed with his precious questions and the way it comes up in daily conversations. He has even memorized Genesis 1:1…In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.                   

So, here’s his little creation lunch…Sun, Moon and Stars sandwiches…fish and frog crackers…and, a little drawing of Adam & Eve on the marshmallow. Hilariously enough, Quinn thought it was a drawing of pirates. He wondered why Eve had on a pirate hat. ha. Maybe I need to brush up on my artistic skills a bit.          Oct. 17 027

Lunch #2: Letter F Lunch…since it was “F” Week at school!…F peanut butter sandwiches with a family pick…Fruit by the Foot…Football crackers & pretzels…F’s cut out of pepperonis…and Fish swimming in blue Jell-O (with a frog pick)
{I learned that putting gummy things inside Jell-O doesn’t really work very well. The little Swedish fish were extra gooey when it came time for him to enjoy this at lunch.}

Lunch #3: a Batman theme…since it was dress up day at school! :) … I made bat shaped sandwiches and bat shaped cheese on top of raisins…The little bat cookies were a fun touch…and the plastic Batman ring worked great in the Jell-O!…the little Taco Bueno hot sauce container was perfect for his pickles.

I made the picks from stickers that I got at Hobby Lobby and picks from the Dollar Tree…Oct 19-21 023
  These “Tummy Tickler” drinks are the current favorite around here. They have so many fun toppers and they don’t spill. I fill it with juice or Gatorade each day. Batman was perfect for today!…Oct 19-21 024
  Have a great day at school, Batman!… Oct 19-21 030
