Lunch Bags

When the kids were smaller at lunch time I would plate the food, taking a moment to make sure that it was arranged nicely on a cute colored dish. Kind of silly, yes. I still do this when they are home, but now I make their school lunches every evening. I realize that I should use lunch boxes—it is the green thing, but then I wouldn't be able to decorate their names with a sharpie on their bags. That would take all the fun out of it for me. I'm thinking that I will move on from this at some point—perhaps notes in their lunch boxes would suffice. But for now, this is our thing. I don’t know how much longer the kids will enjoy my lightning bolts, smiley faces, hearts and block letters.
