Field Trip!!!

The 1st Grade class is going on a field trip tomorrow.  Normally, Molly would be excited at this, but this particular field trip is to a bug farm.  She is not too enthused with bugs at this age.  Hopefully she will see some butterflies and dragonflies so that it isn't all "icky" to her.

Field trip means that a packed lunch becomes a sack lunch.  Our normal Laptop Lunch Box gets the day off.

Our main entrée is a cheese sandwich, just like today.  Colby Jack cheese with mustard on white bread.  Simple and delicious.

Our vegetable side is baby carrots.  Mostly because we know that they won't be smashed into vegetable puree.

Our fruit side is apple slices.  Again, this choice was for texture purposes.  6 year olds don't like fruit that is baby food consistency.

Our dessert is a 100 calorie pack of Oreo crisps.  We've also added a small chocolate chip granola bar in case Molly is still hungry.  She's been going through a growth spurt so any extra food has been welcomed by a hungry tummy.

Finally, we added a Capri Sun drink pouch.  This is a special treat for a special day.

I Almost Forgot!

Short post tonight because I almost forgot to make Molly's lunch.  I'm no longer up for the Mother of the Year Award.  hahaha!  After an incredible and delicious Thanksgiving, black Friday shopping, trimming the tree, decorating the house and wrapping presents, Molly's lunch was the last thing on my mind.  I was kind of hoping that this holiday would continue through tomorrow.  Guess not, so on to lunch.

Our main entrée is cold pepperoni pizza.  We have a tradition to have pizza in one of the days following Thanksgiving because eventually, the turkey does run out.  This is left over from our dinner tonight.

Our veggie side is a baby spinach salad with Trader Joe's Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side.  Molly really likes these salads lately and we are happy to help her get her leafy greens in.

Our fruit side is a Gala apple that has been cut into large slices.  This apple isn't as sweet or tart as some of our other favorites but it's still a tasty and juicy fruit.

Finally, for dessert we have a chocolate chip granola bar.  This is not one of our usual staples but we wanted to make sure that Molly had a filling lunch and the granola bar is chock full of oats so it will solve that issue in a hurry.

Hope everyone had a nice break.  Back to the daily grind and getting ready for the next holiday!
