Phineas and Ferb Lunch

It's our Blogiversary!!!  2 years and going strong!  It's thanks to this fun hobby that my friends associate me with neat looking lunches.  Several of them even post cool lunches on my Facebook wall.  I had a few friends post an awesome Ferb (of Phineas and Ferb) lunch on my wall yesterday.  I figured why not try to replicate this amazing lunch by Susan Yuen that so many people love.  Be sure to check out her site, she's incredible!  "Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!"

Our main entree is a salami and cheese sandwich made to look like Phineas and Ferb.  (Wonder if they will try to eat the parsley?) Did I mention how hard it is to try and make the same lunch twice.  I favor the one on the left.  Poor Ferb got a little heavy in the one on the right.  That's what I get for eye-balling it.

Our vegetable side is a cucumber and carrot Perry the Platypus.  We cut the cucumber in half and then carved out two eyes.  The tail, bill and feet were carved from carrot pieces.

Our fruit side is an apple with a P and  F carved out of it.  Not really all that fun but we've got to get those fruits in somehow and I was out of ideas.

Our Fun Friday Treat is going to be the girls' choice when they get their bags together.  We have a snack drawer that is full of healthy treats or we have a small candy drawer that they can choose from.  I'm thinking it will be candy but they might surprise me.

*I found the Agent P fabric that is behind the lunches at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores and made some napkins out of it.  We're pretty big Phineas and Ferb fans here so I'm sure that they will get a lot of use.

Tomorrow is green and purple day in Bean's Kindergarten class so her snack is kiwi fruit and red/purple grapes.

Theme Lunch 3 - Summertime!

We can't wait until summer vacation begins.  We have grand plans of hanging out poolside at Grammy and Papa's house with fun in the sun, swimming, building sandcastles, hanging out at the neighbor's fire pit, eating great fresh fruits and vegetables and catching fireflies!

Our main entree is a salami and colby jack cheese sandwich.  We used a foot shaped cookie cutter to cut it out and then added a flip flop with our food safe markers.  Finally, we added a little sunglasses pick.

Our vegetable side is cucumber slices.  We used our crinkle knife to cut the cucumbers for extra fun.  We then added a beach ball pick to this container.

Our fruit side is watermelon.  Nothing says summer quite like fresh watermelon.  We used a small starfish cookie cutter to cut out a few pieces and then added some fun summer picks.  We have a sand pail and shovel, sunglasses and a beach umbrella.

Finally, our dessert is.....MONEY$$$$!  Summertime and ice cream go hand in hand.  We put a few quarters into a tiny container  form Molly to buy some ice cream.  We added it to a bigger container that we lined with a foil cupcake line and then added a cute ice cream cone ring.  Molly loves her rings!

Only a few days before it's summer all the time!!!  As Phineas and Ferb would sing, ♪♫ There's 104 days of summer vacation til school comes along just to end it.  So, the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it. ♫♪  This summer is going to be GREAT!
