I put off all the things I needed to do in favor of facebook and food. The food was worth it, the facebook was fun, the pain I felt this morning at 5:30, not so good. I'm an early riser naturally, but I don't function particularly well first thing in the morning. I need to time to slowly wake up. I need tea and morning news. As LiLi puts it, "My eyes have to adjust", for about an hour.
This school they are attending doesn't have a hot lunch program (and most of you know my feelings about school lunches), so throwing a few dollars at them as we pulled into the school parking lot wasn't an option. So I did what any sane Mom would do. I opened a can of olives.
Not a traditional lunch choice I know, but frankly, I can't be held responsible for anything that happens before 7a.m.. I am certain LiLi will take one look at this lunch and her heart will soar with joy. It's just the sort of thing she would happily eat every single day. GiGi is going to open her lunch bag and think, "My Mom is a total Nutter!". She's probably not too far off.
It's not the best picture...sorry...my eyes have not "adjusted" jet yet;)
This lunch has a little tiny pear (Trade Joe's), some black olives, mini pickles, picks with dry salami, cheddar cheese and yellow tomatoes, and a few JoJo cookies (Trade Joe's again). They both got organic apple juice and a homemade granola bar.
For snack they have crackers, Wow Butter (for GiGi) and Biscoff (for LiLi) and freeze dried strawberries (Trader Joe's, again).
This is proof that lunch doesn't have to be super fancy to be fun, festive and sort of nutritionally sound!
