Possum Magic Lunches

Well it has been an age since I've posted here properly and I think I've figure out how to make the most of the technology at my hands now.… I *think* ;)

Tomorrow is Mayflower's first day at kindy and in between my happy dance I made these 3 Possum Magic inspired lunches for the girls.

Sandwich with FooDoodler Hush sliding down a kangaroo's back, made with a sandwich stamp and star cookie cutter. Some star sprinkles added and stuck with butter.

Mango...yum

Lamington roll and mini meringue kisses

Last minute addition of pasta salad to go with some carrot and cucumber

I was really happy with how the star sprinkles worked in the big girls wraps

Miss M has same same as Mayflower with cucumber ad milk popper in the compartment not pictured from her Nude Food Movers

And Honey chose to keep her Sistema Quaddie again this year. Same same packing wise.

Belated Happy Australia Day!!

May the Fourth Be With You

The colds and flu have hit our house so Honey and I stayed home today. She had an R2D2 egg, grape Light Sabres, Chewbacca sandwich, and carrot hommus with lavish crackers Toe Fighters. 

I had the boring sandwich I had packed to take to work 😄. 

Happy Star Wars Day!!

The Very Cranky Bear Lunch

Honey loves her Very Cranky Bear books so I made her lunch about it.

Moose was made with cheese, sultanas and a cheerio; lion was nori and a corn cob; sheep CuteZCute egg mould; zebra from a banana and Bear a CuteZCute sandwich with FooDoodlers. She also had a bag of animal biscuits for snack, mandarin flower and yoghurt.

All in our Nude Food Movers.

Halloween Lunches

We didn't really go all out with Halloween lunches this year, but I did make the girls little Jack-o-Lantern lunches for Honey's last day of the week.

Miss M had pumpkin scone with FooFoodler detail, passionfruit with yoghurt, sandwich and a Lindt ball and juice in her pimped Juice in the Box.

Honey also had a Jack-o-lantern sandwich and a pumpkin scone. The rest of her lunch consisted of leftovers, yoghurt and watermelon.

Miss M had show & share on Friday and the theme was 'Favourite Food'. She decided cake was her favourite food, so we whipped up a batch to share and I used our trusty Lunch Punch to give her one in her lunchbox too :-)

This was one of my lunches for the week.

Blinky Bill Lunch

I'd hoped to take Miss M to see the Blinky Bill movie over the holidays but we didn't quite make it there. No reason she couldn't have a Blinky Bill lunch though!

Yoghurt, Lamington (very Australian!), mandarin with tree and koala pick and CuteZCute Koala.

The same day Honey took a rice panda, mini lamingtons, CuteZCute koala sandwich, mandarin flower and yoghurt.

Many Dino Lunches

 I love my Dinosaur sandwich cutter! It's so easy to make a 'cheat' lunch! I just add my Dinosaur muffin cup, a pick and some store bought biscuits and I'm done!

Gotta love a cute pick!

Here are some other Dino-Lunches the girls have been taking

Easy Lunchbox Dinners

 For the school holidays I chose to trial working less days but for longer hours, which meant that the girls would most likely be aiming up for dinner at around their pick up time if not earlier, so I packed them dinner as well as lunch!

 And while I was packing their dinner, I made one for myself as lunch. I had Ferrero Rocher for my dessert instead of healthy yoghurt like the girls did. We all had garlic bread, lasagne muffins and salad.

I love these Texas Muffin cups I picked up in New Zealand last time we were there. They are a little tall for the Easy Lunchboxes but make a great sized meal. I made the lasagnes on the weekend prior and froze these babies ready to pack on the fly which made these dinner super quick to assemble. All I had to do was toss in some salad, some story bought garlic bread, and the variations on dessert.

More Hearty Lunches

 More simple hearts for my loves <3

Miss M too yoghurt, strawberries, sandwich and cheerios with tomato sauce in the little container.

Honey took ham & cheese layered heart, sandwich, strawberries, yoghurt and cheerios which hadn't quite thawed out so didn't end up being cut. Oh well!

Wockets and Dragons

 The last of the Book Week lunches that I haven't gotten around to posting yet.

Miss M had just recently read 'Wocket in my Pocket' at school. This was one of her favourites when she was younger. I think she just liked all the funny names in it and hearing Mr Loving & I say them!

I was put onto a great app - Camera Lucida by some of my Bento Bloggers & Friends. Gee it makes this drawing business easy! More like tracing which is more to my skill level!

And of course I had to include Stormfly from How to Train Your Dragon for Miss M too!

Next time I think *I* will choose the image to trace. This one was a little difficult!

Is There Room on the Broom for a Lunch Like Me?

Have you read Room on the Broom? Or seen the short film? It is such a wonderful story, and my girls love it! I've been meaning to make a Room on the Broom lunch for some time and finally got around to it for BookWeek. The Easy Lunchbox was for Miss M

The witch had a *cat*, and a *very tall hat*, And *long ginger hair which she wore in a plait*.

CuteZCute Cat sandwich
Ice cream cone hat
Mandarin ginger plait

 And Honey took the same but different.

I also included a cheese and breadstick 'wand' which gets lost in the story.

As does the bow from her plait.

And for Miss M's brain break I made some strawberry and mini-marshmallow mushrooms :-)
