Today she went on a field trip, she had to have a disposable lunch..(I said NO WAY to lunchables, she said NO WAY to school PBJ and chips) SO this is what we came up with...

I kept the containers from some fresh Parmesan Cheese and some Grape Tomatoes, I put some pretty rainbow Duck tape(her favorite) over the container labels. I put a coffee filter in the bottom and then I put in the yogurt. I put that in the freezer overnight, my goal was to use the yogurt as an ice pack since she wanted a Ham and Cheese Sandwich with Mayo. 

This morning I added everything else. 

She got the "GoGurt", Grapes,Ham and Swiss sandwich, Trail Mix of Almonds,raisins,craisins, golden raisins, Apple Chips, and candy corn. She had the juice box to drink. 

I put the sandwich on top of the yogurt and grapes, it fit perfect, then everything went into a brown paper bag which she decorated! :-)

Bento Lately...

I have been packing here and there, so this is not a straight week of bentos. We did get a new box this week so Sissys was excited about that!

I was super excited about this lunchbox! I had my eye on it for awhile but, when I found it on Craigslist in my area, I had to get it! I wasn't sure what I was going to pack in it, the novelty boxes like this one are normally the hardest to pack! 

This is what we ended up with on the first pack. String Cheese and Ham, Blueberries and Grapes,Cantaloupe and Watermelon, and Crackers.  (I did not tell Sissy about this, so when she came home she told me how surprised she was when she opened her bag,she thought Momma had gone "nuts"!
