Look at the pretty pictures.....
The return of the lunches #1
Or breakfast in this case. Egg salad with tiny little toasts, and grape tomatoes. The right side is a fruit salad with clementines, strawberries, and kiwi. I got this nifty little lunch box at a dollar store while in NY. I guess its technically a "tiffin", but I'm no expert as the lunch box classification. All I know...it was ONE dollar and is the perfect size for breakfasts.
The return of the lunches #2
The left is a salad with romaine, snap peas, cucumber, carrots and grape tomatoes. The right is a clementine, almonds, cheddar cheese and parmesean ranch ressing for the salad. I finally got to the farmer's market yesterday and good thing...all that was previously in my fridge was a bendy carrots and some drippy lettuce! Yumyum!
The return of the lunches #3
Little A's lunch which I made in front of her and she was VERY excited about. The left is 2 peanut butter sandwiches on baguette, a little cup of trail mix, a chocolate, and sliced cucumber. That little white thing? A tiny little packet of salt for the cucumbers. The right container is a the same fruit salad as above. Little A was jumping around at the prospect of this lunch.
The coming of the bird...
Isn't this insanely cute? I participated in the B-List Blogger's Ornament exchange organized by Mignon this year. I received this beautiful knitted birdy from Arabella from a frantic USPS man on December 22nd around 4:30pm. Isn't it lovely? Thank you Arabella! I'm sorry I didn't post about it sooner....I suck at blogging lately!
And that's it for today. Stay tuned for more clearing out of the 2006 blogging closet.

Adorable bird!!!
*drool* Why can't I ever make lunches like that?! I took a can of soup and some carrots to work today.
We got a "chrissy critter" from friends in Australia (she's from here, he's an Aussie). A kookaburra! But not knitted. But still special because we knitted them a bird mobile of native Australian birds and the bird I did was the kookaburra. VERY funny to watch him over the baby making all the birds talk (they all had different voices and personalities!).
What an adorable ornament. And your yummy meals are just the motivation I need to start some serious menu planning and meal packing for the family during the week. My eldest have had school lunches twice this week and I can really tell a difference in their behavior and lethargy. I now have the Wiggles "Fruit Salad" song stuck in my head!
