Another fun filled week has flown by. I swear as the school year rolls on time speeds up. I blink and the week is over. This may be due to the lack of sleep that comes with the early wake-up calls of public school making your week into 1 reallly long day, but I digress....back to lunches.
Monday - Captain America
In this lunch:
- Star Jelly toast sandwich with Captain America white cheddar cheese on top
- Babybel cheese shield
- Carrots "A"
- Gala apple shield
Tuesday - Let's Eat Pooh! Happy Birthday A. A. Milne
At the end of this post you'll find the linky party for anything A.A. Milne related, not just Pooh.
“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?”

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something
you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger
than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing
is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”

Thursday -Penguins
Blue Monkey was learning about penguins at school today. When I mentioned it for lunch Green Monkey wanted one too instead of a Benjamin Franklin birthday tribute. Happy Birthday Benjamin Franklin I hope you liked penguins.
In this lunch:
- Igloo waffle - after cutting the igloo, I buttered it and added syrup then flipped it over so the gooey bit was unseen. Powdered sugar and marshmallows for snow and of course he eats goldfish.
- Chocolate waffle Penguin - I added 1 tsp of unsweet cocoa and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips into the waffle batter. Sprayed a penguin cookie cutter and cooked on the skillet like a pancake. Added a little frosting and candy eye.
- Goldfish
- PB celery
- Grapes
- Babybel cheese
- Black Olive Penguin - I used this tutorial from Serious Eats, large olives, babybel cheese, and baby carrots
