A bit heavy on the fruit now that I look at it, but I am always rushing on Friday mornings, so I guess that is how my lack of organisation manifests itself!

Lulu and Tyga shared a sandwich - I only had 2 slices of bread left!  So Lulu has a salmon sandwich, and apple and kiwi fri, carrots, cucumber and cream cheese and 2 mini pies.

So Tyga has a tuna and avocado sushi, smoked salmon sandwich, kiwi and mandarin for fruit and carrot and cucumber for veggies.

Lulu has kiwi, mandarine and apple, a smoked salmon sandwich, kiwi and carrot.  Obviously nothing else so she went with an empty compartment :(  Always looks so sad to me but better than wasted food for the sake of it!

15 August 2012

Smoked salmon and avocado sandwiches, passionfruit pulp in a container, ryvita with butter and vegemite, a mandarine, fresh cucumber slices and olives.

You may notice I put stuff in and if she eats it, I give it again and again until she stops.  I guess I make her get tired of the same thing over and over, but by then I find something else to put in and start again!

14 August 2012

Fruit shopping on Mondays after school drop off, so we have fresh kiwi slices, mandarine segments, am avocado sandwich, olives (obviously a success yesterday!), ryvita with butter and vegemite, dried pineapple (which my kids call "fut" for some reason???), carrot, snow peas and fresh cucumber slices.

Monday morning, and what have we in the fridge and pantry?  Well I can go an egg sandwich (can;t do that for Tyga as a girl in his class is anaphylactic to egg so no egg allowed), carrot sticks, snow peas, sushi, mandarine and olives.  She hasn't been a fan of olives lately but thought I'd give it another try.
