School Lunches. It's a Four-Letter Word.
Every morning I dread packing school lunches. Each of the three older boys have different preferences. It's a zoo in the morning before school and I feel like a short-order cook.
I have come up with a few things that have made it easier for me. In my pantry I have 2 crates. One for sweet treats/fruit (above) and the other for salty snacks. Each of the boys gets a sweet treat (cookie, pudding, granola bar) and a fruit (applesauce, diced peaches, mixed fruit) and a salty snack (PB crackers, chips, Doritos, "dipping things"). (Of course they get a sandwich and 100% juice box as well.)
It still isn't a smooth morning. But at least it's somewhat more organized.
And on Fridays. Well, I love Fridays. Fridays are always pizza day at school and the boys buy lunch!
Come on, Friday!

a few years ago i saw the dilley lady (you know, the one in indiana with sextuplets?) and that was her system. seemed so smart to me.
or, you could always go the route my evil step-monster did: make them make their own damn lunches. (there was no love, no love involved at all ::sob::)
Milk to drink which comes from the school system (we pay for it and the milk company delivers it to school). That's it, that's their lunch!
They also get a midmorning snack which is a fruit juice and a banana, or it can be a granola bar or something like that. But if it has chocolate on it, then it's not allowed.
Just interested me somewhat to see the difference!
