Well last week was so much fun that I wanted to play along with Muffin Tin Monday from Another Lunch again. Today's theme is perfect picnic. With only one week of school left picnics in the park are right around the corner.
Perfect Picnic
We typically go on 2 types of picnics. During the day we pick a park and play with friends. Sometimes our neighborhood plays movies in the park on Friday nights and we watch as a family. But now its summer and pool side picnics will be starting soon too. Can't wait to run around town with all of our friends.
In this lunch :
Top Row:
Popcorn - Pirates booty
Blanket - Checkered apple
Watermelon Wedges
Bottom Row:
Playful puppies - Rolled ham and turkey
Popsicles
Kindergarten Graduation
Our big Green monkey is on his last week of school. Wednesday will be their ceremony and Friday is the last day. So only 3 days of lunches to make this week for him. Every year he amazes me with how much he grows, not only in skills useful in school, or physically getting bigger, but as a caring and funny little guy who just loves life and everyone in it.
In this lunch :
Diplomas - Peanut butter and jelly rolled sandwiches with rainbow sourpatch ribbons
Alphabet pretzels
Cap and Books - Watermelon
Mortar board cap - cucumber on top of carrots
