Bento #226

Today was Maisie's final day of Kindergarten, I can't believe that my little girl is going to be a big first grader!!

For her final kindergarten bento I packed one of her favorite meals, pasta with Bolognese & cheese, grapes and garlic bread.

Maisie ate like a champ and finished everything in her bento.

Bento #225

Spinach quiche, grapes and mango jelly.

Maisie ate everything but two of the quiche which she finished on the drive home from school.

Bento #224

Ham & cheese on a home baked croissant, grapes and jelly.

Maisie ate half of the sandwich, all the grapes and the jelly.  On the drive home from school she finished off the other half of the sandwich.

Bento #223

Peanut butter on wheat, fig bar, mango jelly and grapes.

Maisie ate every last drop of this bento!

Bento #221 & #222

Today was a two bento day, the first was for lunchtime at school and the second was for Maisie's gymnastics practice.  Her practices are now three hours long so they take a break for a snack and Maisie has said that she's been hungry and wants more than I was giving her and asked that I pack her a bento.

Mac & cheese with a ham & cheese flower with a broccoli center, grapes, an I love you chocolate and a jelly.

Maisie did well with all this food, returning home with only about two tablespoons of macaroni uneaten.

Peanut butter on wheat heart sandwich, fig bar & raisins,

Maisie said that she enjoyed having a bento at gymnastics but said that she didn't have enough time to eat.  She's not the fastest eater and she loves to talk so we talked about in the future having less talking and more eating.  Maisie did eat half of her sandwich and the fig bar and then in the car on the drive home finished everything else and then ate dinner too!  

Bento #220

Grilled cheese on wheat heart sandwich, grapes, jelly, carrot sticks and lite ranch dip in the sad looking Hello Kitty container.

A couple of carrots returned home uneaten but overall Maisie did a good job.

Bento #219

Chocolate peanut butter on wheat heart sandwich, mango jelly, grapes and a chocolate in the pink foil.

Only a couple of grapes and about two bites of the sandwich returned home uneaten.

Bento #218

Ham & cheese roll-ups with carrot centers, grapes, grape jelly and and I love you chocolate.

Maisie enjoyed this bento, eating everything but one little carrot center.
