Isaiah's Lunchbox~ Day 24~ It's Friday!!!

So we made it...what a long week. Baseball started Monday night for Isaiah and let me tell ya it threw our entire week off.
We are going to have to recover from this week over the weekend and pray it goes better and smoother next week.:)
So, yes...that explains the lunch for today. This is called...The "TGIF lunch".

Dinosaur chicken nuggets, veggie straws, broccoli with ranch, chocolate rice cakes, and a small tootsie roll! And water to drink! (a little boring but at least he's fed right?)lol

Next week starts our Fall lunches. We have lots of Fall activities we are going to try to accomplish in October. It's gonna be a fun month!

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 23

                     Thermos Thursday again!! :) Time is flying each week. It seems to keep getting busier and busier. The week is already almost over!

Chicken flavored noodles, grape kabobs, cheese stick, mini oreos, and a nut mix. And orange drink!

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 22- We all Scream for Ice Cream

Summer is officially over and Fall has begun. Next week starts our Fall activities and lunches. We can't wait. My favorite time of year!:)

Ice Cream Sandwich(pb and J and a fruit roll up cherry on top), vanilla wafer cookies with dried banana chips in between each, fruit roll up, strawberry yogurt with banana split sprinkles, parmesan pretzels crisps, and ice cream marshmellows. And koolaid to drink!

 

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 21- Mini bites

None of us wanted to wake up today. I am dreading the cold days ahead because I know on those mornings we most definitely will not want to get out of our warm covers.

On a totally different side note, Ian has started to scoot. I LOVE his little inchworm scoot he does. Its about to get crazy over here in the Vallejo casa with two munchkins(3 when Isaiah is home from school) on the loose! And to be honest...I can't wait. Its gonna be fun!!!:)

Turkey wrapped around a mozzerela cheese stick, dried fruit crisps, mini pretzels, mini granola bar, mini chocolate chip cookies. And a mini Sunkist to drink.(Isaiah's Nana bought him some small drinks to carry in his lunch box...of course he thinks they are awesome)

 

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 20



Well I am glad to say the weekend was very relaxing(although we did tons of cleaning), I must say it was nice not having any scheduled places to be. So we are off to a good start today!

 



Dog shaped turkey sandwich (with fruit leather collar and ear), cheese puffs, purple and green grapes, dog bone graham cookies, and strawberry jello. And water to drink!:)

Have a great Monday everyone!!!

TOTSCHOOL- LETTER J

Over the summer we worked more on our letters...and YES I am just now posting about it. lol. We have been super busy and I want to add, with Isaiah starting school it seems like that is all my mind can concentrate on right now. :)
We have started "homeschooling" back up so hopefully I can find time to squeeze some of our activities onto our blog. Lately it seems I only have time to blog quickly about lunch and then I am off again.
Back in July we started our Letter J! We did alot of things that started with the letter J.
Some other things that weren't pictured were:

we learned how to do jumping jacks
we read Jack in the Beanstalk
Celebrated 4th of July with fireworks
told jokes
learned how to jump rope
Isaiah did many worksheets from some of our workbooks that practiced writing the letter J
read our Moncure book- letter J
We also went to the park and picked up "junk" to throw away. I really wish I would have taken pics of this because Isaiah was thrilled for this activity.
played barrel of monkeys(you know for jungle animals. :) )
Talked about feeling of jealousy and joy

Letter J is for Jaguar. (lol...kind of looks like a giraffe but the boys were happy with it)

We made Jungle snakes!

 

 

The boys coloring their snakes.

 

Jello Jigglers- Sorry the picture is turned on its side...it wouldn't download any other way.

My little man helping out in the kitchen making jello jigglers.

The boys giving Jelly Belly's to Uncle Jason!

We did LOTS of jigsaws.

Jungle Animal counting

Sorting the jungle animal crackers

We also worked on addition and subtraction.

We had alot of fun playing with our playdoh mats. These were both jungle themed!

Isaiah practicing his snakes.

Isaiah said Ian was Alfalfa. lol

We practiced forming the letter J with playdoh. Then Isaiah pressed "jewels" into the dough.

Playing Jacks. This is definitely gonna take more practice. lol

It pretty much turned into a game of trading jacks.:)

Isaiah's Lunchbox-day 19!

Yay...today is Friday! We are exhausted from this busy week and are so ready to have a relaxing weekend ahead!

Pizza lunchable with sauce(underneath) and cheese, broccoli with ranch, a rice krispy treat with white frosting drizzled on top and sprinkles, and a starburst. And water to drink!

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 18- Phenius and Ferb

Phenius and Ferb inspired our lunch menu today! This is Isaiah's favorite thing to watch right after school while he is unwinding from his day! I found these cute little jello molds at Walmart over the summer. We have used them many times. He loves jello jigglers so he will be happy to find these!

 

 

 

Phenius and Ferb chicken soup, saltine crackers, p&f gummies and p & f jello jigglers. And water to drink!:)

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 17- Another Star Wars lunch!

 

Yes... another Star Wars lunch.:) Isaiah loved the last one and I really needed an excuse to make this Chewbacca dessert(my hubby said it looks more like a scary monster but anyways) another lunch was a must so I could try it out. 

 

Star Wars spaceship turkey sandwich, cheese stick with a darth vader ring around it, pretzels with two lightsabers crossing, Chewbacca starcrunch, and marshmellow fillers. And water to drink!:)

Have a great Wednesday everyone!!!:)

Isaiah's Lunchbox~ Day 16~ Go Cowboys!!!

Cowboys season has officially began so today's lunch was themed around our team.(Hopefully it will give them a little more luck....they need it after Sunday's game) ;)

Cowboys football helmet with blue star made from dyed provolone cheese, goldfish crackers(well just because), cucumbers cut out in stars, apples cut out in stars and slices with caramel dip(in blue container), football oreos and a few blue and white mini chocolate balls.  

So I just realized that yesterday and today I took the photo without the lunch note cards showing. Ooops. I know you were all so concerned about this. ;) I will do my best to include those in the pictures. lol

GO COWBOYS!

Isaiah's Lunchbox- day 15

We are welcoming Monday with breakfast for lunch!:) Isaiah loves all these breakfast items so its sure to be a win!!!

Maple waffle sticks, shredded wheats cereal, boiled egg(in shape of a fish), strawberries, oranges and a strawberry yogurt. And orange juice to drink!

Happy Monday! We start baseball practice tonight and Isaiah cannot wait!!!:)

Isaiah's Luncbox- Day 14

Today was a camping theme. The weather is starting to FINALLY get a little cooler(Im praying it stays) here in Texas and I am in the mood to go camping. We haven't been in forever!!!

Hotdog, mandarin oranges, smores goldfish, and smores on a stick. And juice to drink.
 

To make the smores on a stick I just dipped large marshmellows in to melted milk chocolate then rolled them in crushed graham cracker crumbs. So easy and oh so good!!!:)

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 13

Thermos Thursday...we meet again! Today I had originally had a different thermos planned but Isaiah requested macaroni and cheese left over from dinner last night. So...a happy kindergartner is a happy home!;) (or something like that)

Macaroni and cheese, orange slices, honey wheat sticks (Wheat thin brand..those are SO good), nutella to dip the sticks in, and Hawaiin Punch.

My little man has had bad allergies lately...he wasn't thrilled about going to school today so I am hoping and praying his day goes well!:(
We are almost to the weekend.YAY!

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 12- BUGGY

Today's theme was bugs! Too bad mommy waited until the last minute this morning and realized I still needed to make it. It's not exactly how I envisioned it but he was still proud so I guess it passed inspection!;)

Caterpillar Sandwich(raisin eyes), butterfly snack of cheese cubes and apple cubes, a couple of gummy worms, ants on a log(celery with pb and raisin ants), bug graham cookies. And of course....Bug Juice!:)

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 11

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Isaiah came home so excited Friday afternoon that his teacher had read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to them at school. This week they are learning about letters and are even going on a treasure hunt for the lost ones. So of course we had to go with the theme of the week when creating this lunch.:)

He should be surprised today because he didn't get to peak at this one.



A coconut tree(made with flat out bread and spinach tortilla- pb is inside), a few "coconuts"(almonds), fruit roll up cut out letters of his name, apple pieces cut with our mini abc cutters, the rest of the fruit roll up, yogurt, ABC cheese its, and the cutest little panda (chocolate filled) cookies. And koolaid to drink! :)

Meet you at the top of the coconut tree......... (read the book and you'll understand);)

Isaiah's Lunchbox~ Day 10

Isaiah has been begging me to make a Star Wars lunch for him, so today I'm hoping he will be surprised when he opens his lunchbox. This is one of many I have planned for him. Yoda was the inspiration today!:)

"Yoda" quesadilla, popcorn for filler, apple chunks, olives with our new star wars picks,
 and a princess Leia bun (aka...a sweet roll)! :) And grape koolaid for the drink.

The yoda quesadilla was made using a spinach tortilla and provolone cheese for the eyes and mouth. I used a black food marker for the pupils. I made sure to wait to add the provolone features until after the quesadilla cooled down a bit.

I hope my little man likes his first Star Wars lunch. I can't wait to make some more. The possibilities are endless.
Have a wonderful Monday!!!

Isaiah's Lunchbox- Day 9 (or lack of lunchbox)

Today at Isaiah's school they invited all the grandparents to come and eat with the kids as a special event for Grandparent's day. My mom went to eat with him at his school so unfortunately I did not make him a lunch today. Instead his Nana surprised him with a personal pan pizza from Subway, a rootbeer, and a fall rice krispy treat.
Needless to say, Isaiah had a great lunch. He LOVED that his Nana got to spend that time with just him. They even had their picture made.
Being the jokester my son thinks he is( just like his daddy).....here's how their picture turned out.....

Hmmmm.... nice Isaiah! I'll never completely figure this boy thing out. lol
 

Isaiah's Lunchbox~Day 8

Today is Thermos Thursday again...A week has already gone by?? :( Time needs to slow down so I can catch up.

Spagetti, salad with olives, parmesan cheese, and olive garden dressing, garlic bread, fruit snack, and a chocolate mint. Just like at Olive Garden. :) And water to drink!

Isaiah's Lunchbox~ Day 7

Middle of the week already...man this week is absolutely flying by. Today's lunch was basically a mix of some of Isaiah's favorite things.:) Isaiah requested another boiled egg in his lunch today. Of course I didn't mind because it gave me an excuse to use our new egg mold. I LOVE these things. You boil the egg, place it into the egg mold and leave for about 30 minutes. He is going to be thrilled to see his car shaped egg today at lunch.

Turkey/pickle/cheese kabobs(held together with pretzel sticks), car shaped boiled egg, ranch flavored veggie sticks, mini chocolate chip granola bar, green grapes, and white cheddar popcorn.

Happy Wednesday!:) Church activities for the kiddos start tonight, so Isaiah is going to be extremely tired at bedtime.

AND btw...stay tuned for posts about some of our homeschooling fun we have been having over here. Who says you can't homeschool AND public school??:)

***I'd love to read your comments below....I'm starting to feel a little lonely here.;)

Isaiah's Lunchbox~ Day 6

We are off to the start of week 2 of Kindergarten. Isaiah was very sleepy today after our three day weekend and really just wanted to stay home. :( What a way to break my heart. lol. Hopefully this lunch will bring some joy to his day! He's gonna think it's so funny I made the birds out of cheese and an egg. I was inspired by anotherlunch.com in making this angry bird themed lunch. She even made a pig out of a kiwi. So very cute. There are so many ideas out there for this theme I may even need to repeat it in the future.:)

 

 

Pb&j sandwich stack pillars, babybel cheese made into the red bird, green grapes "pigs", boiled egg "white bird"(I have no idea what these little birdies are called.lol), more green grapes under the white bird, and a package of angry bird cookies. And ice cold water. I froze it.:)

I hope my little man enjoys his lunch because I've got to say...this was a little challenging trying to get the features to stay on the food. I packed it in really tight so I really don't think they should fall off before lunch. Lets pray they don't anyway.

Have a great day!!!
