Well, the first day of school is already upon us for us year-round school goers. We at least enjoyed a nice week off between their last day and today. I got my last-minute back-to-school supplies shopping done last night after we rolled in from a long weekend trip to MD/DC. That meant I finished up my shopping at 11pm last night, but I’m just glad it’s all done and all I need to get today is 1 yellow 2-pocket 3-prong plastic folder. Sadly, Walmart was all picked over last night but at least I got our First day of School Lunches prepped!
Big Sis’ was similar but without strawberries as she’s a hater of strawberries – lol! Anyway, I took the obligatory 1st day of school pics. I’m sad I didn’t get them in my usual spot in front of their lovely school, but that place was a ZOO and both girls wanted to be dropped off at carpool this morning. sniff, sniff. Thinking back, I should have insisted since this is Big Sis’ last year at this elementary school, and the last time they will both be in the same school until Big Sis’ SENIOR year of high school. WAAAAHHHHHHH!!! I want a re-do!
In this lunch:
- Applegate Bacon and cheese roll ups, a variation of the Hawaiian Roll Ups from my new favorite cookbook by Laura Fuentes of MOMables: The Best Homemade Kids’ Lunches on the Planet: Make Lunches Your Kids Will Love with More Than 200 Deliciously Nutritious Meal Ideas
- Organic Carrots
- Horizon Organics Cheddar Crackers
- Fresh strawberries
- Cascadian Farms Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
- Chips Ahoy Mini Cookies for a treat
