so my youngest is in school now and I guess this being alone all time thing is getting to me.     I just finished making their lunches for school and with the youngest I have to make shapes out of his sandwich(he wont eat it otherwise). I use cookie cutters. So this morning I decide on the snowman. I cut it out and it looks plain. so I spend 15 mins with a straw making little round bologna buttons and eye balls for it. then make more round ones and cut them in half for the smile followed by taking a knife and making a little hat for it. omg!! I need help. and quickly. I gotta say it looks really cute but is he really gunna notice. no! he is just going to pop it in his mouth.

I think you are wonderful. Children are only young once. Soon enough you will have a teen that thinks you are totally off your rocker if you try to do something fun. Make childhood magical. Plus, next time, just use raisins for the eyes. It's alot easier! LOL

Thanks guys. I like the raisin idea but my son wont eat them. He says they look like "old bugs"  alrighty then.

Have you ever seen the lunches Japanese mothers make? They are amazing!
