February 19-22

You know those moments, ok weeks, when time speeds up? You barely dog paddle to gasp for air? This has been one of those weeks. So what do lunches made by the crazy over scheduled mom look like? The I can't plan a theme ahead, or remember why I went to the kitchen for the 3rd time? This is that week. My green monkey is fixing to turn 6 next Wednesday. So family visits, party planning, school fundraising, mom's group activities, sports, all requiring more time and energy than I (or anyone) possess and you get this. Thing is even sloppy lunch is healthier than a lunchable. Still more creative than the cafeteria foods available. So not my most epic pinnable week, but got 'er done as they say down here in Texas.

Friday -  Normally he gets to buy lunch on Friday...but he's been having difficulties behaving at school so he lost that privilege and so I made a slapdash Cyberman...I wish I hadn't been up since 3am because the bars should be higher above the helmet. But I was on party prep overload so...

  In this lunch :

• Peanut butter and Jelly Cyberman
• Cheese and crackers
• Vanilla pudding with sprinkles

The birthday party was awesome but I'm exhausted so I'll post that later :)
