Lunch Bunch

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved taking my lunch to school and my mom was super creative with each one. So, I was really excited to make Sammie's lunch this year. Only one problem, the kid is uber picky (I do not understand picky eaters) and that limits the "fun" factor for me. Soooo I've been taking pictures of her lunches each week and making mental notes about what she likes and doesn't like. I try to make them cute but I am NOT a Pinterest mommy. Just can't find the time for all that.

Anywho... This post is really so I can remember what she had and what she ate but sharing anyway!! 

Day One: Yogurt Covered Raisins*, Green Grapes (no like), Mandarin Oranges (apparently we only eat these at home), Dried Apples*, Ham, Cream Cheese Roll Up*

Day Two: Chobani Watermelon Tube*, PB & Honey Sandwhich (nope), Pink Goldfish*, Kiwi (it's green soooo no), Apples*

Day Three: Red Grapes & Blueberries*, Yogurt Covered Raisins*, Apple Starwberry Squeeze*, Crackers, Ham & Cheese (nope nope & nope).

Day Four: Freeze Dried Strawberries & Bananas(only ate the bananas), Blueberry Yogurt*, Mapel Bagel & Cream Cheese*, Banana*.

Day Five: Ella's Blueberry & Apple Juice*, YoTot Strawberry Beet & Berry Yogurt Pouch*, Raisins (she loves these and didn't touch! What?!), Ham & Cream Cheese Roll Up*.

And yes, I'm aware that there are no veggies in these pics. So far I can get her to stomach corn, sweet potato FRIES, and if bribed... Some broccoli. I've started using my dads tactics of just taking the plate away if she doesn't eat and then making her wait until the next meal. 

Meals are exhausting with picky kids. 

Green Acres...

Monday the kids and I attended a little play date at Phillips Farm in Cary. After a few moments of thinking Dee may never let go of me... It was a insanity trying to keep up with the 2 of them.

I have no idea why I find it so humorous when they stick their heads through these things but I do.

Sammie LOVED the cool slides. Her brother? Not so much. He did love digging in the rock pit but I have no pictures of that. I mean... We are lucky I have pics at all!

I couldn't figure out what pumpkins were black/red on this board so we jus moved them around for fun.

Bossy little mini me telling a sweet boy what his "job" was while pushing/riding tractors. 

Bouncing on the giant pillow. Sweet Dee stared at it for 15 minutes before he would try it. (At least one of our children uses caution)

Feeding the goats. I'm impressed they both wanted to do it because Mommy sure didn't! Blah!! 

There was a corn maze... We rode the "cow train" through it. It was fast and bumpy and my kids LOVED IT! I think I have future amusement park kids on my hands!! 

We had a great morning at Phillips Farm!

Oooooooklahoma

Our time in Oklahoma was brief but fun!! We had more than our fair share of Braums, played outside and danced for hours!! Sammie learned to ride her tricycle and Dee followed his Paps around like a sweet little puppy. 

Apparently I have deprived them of sprinkler fun!! 

Sammie and Bitty did several wardrobe changes at Tutus house. 

Sammie also dressed her brother.

The DDI which deserves its own post later was fabulous and Sammie LOVED it!! 

She was worn out!!!

So happy we were able to make this trip happen. Now back to school and learning the ropes of our new state!!!
