my lunch bunch

DSC_0005-1copy

J has one major complaint in life these days.  She doesn’t get to eat lunch at school.  You’d think I was robbing her of a basic human right with how she carries on about this travesty.  We have always sent her to “poor man’s preschool” and after learning that she would indeed only go to half day kindergarten she was just besides herself.  She is DYING to PACK.A.LUNCH.

So today at lunchtime I broke out her lunch box, packed up her lunch, and sent her to eat at the forbidden family room coffee table.  She thought she had hit the JACKPOT!  Funny that she looked so surprised with the contents of her lunch pail when she was VERY specific about WHAT I packed inside :)

We finished off lunch with yummy Tootsie Pops :)

I really wanted to get a picture of S-man having his lolli.  But he was engrossed in Yo Gabba Gabba.  I’m emabarassed to admit that I let him watch this during lunch most days because he is OBSESSED with this show (hanging my head in shame here…you have SEEN that show haven’t you?  The orange skin tight body suit alone gives me the heebie geebies!)  In order to capture him in all of his lollipop eating sweetness I turned off the tv…he wasn’t impressed.  He’s acutally kind of blurry…he was shaking his head with a FIERCE “No” and screaming “Gabba Gabba” repeatedly :)   I’ve created a monster!

I did, however, snag a couple of keepers of my little Jules.  I added some texture and a vintage wash to camouflage our couch in the background.  I love that she always has a willing smile :)

Thanks for doing lunch my little friends.  See you tomorrow…same time…same place!

    Cute! We should have Katie and Julia do a lunch bunch day. Let’s pick a day and rotate houses…they’d love it.

  2. That is just too cute! I love how even just the simpliest of things can make them feel like it’s their lucky day. My Allison begs to have her lunch in a brown paper bag (just like Daddy) and eat on a pic-nik blanket in the living room. I give in quite a lot. ;) And then she’ll ask “Is this my lucky day Mama?”

    I’ve never seen Yo Gabba Gabba, but Mr. S-Man is just too sweet. I think I’d give in too!

  3. Yo Gabba Gabba puts them in such a trance, doesn’t it?! I think it’s a silly show myself, but hey whatever gives me a few minutes to pick up around here! LOVE Jules’ expression opening her lunchbox. You made her day! Isn’t it awesome to see life through their eyes? :)

    Darling post…..as always! Love your ‘poor man preschool” comment as I’m pretty sure that’s where all 3 of my boys have attended to. Glad to know we’re ‘not the only ones.’ :)

    Just discovered Yo Gabba Gabba last night with my little one. I needed to help my older daughter study and my hubby had my son at baseball practice. My 14 month old was in a trance! She danced and clapped and sat still! I thought it reminded me of a nightmare you have when you wake up with a bad fever!! Great pics as always-a packed lunch is always fun!

    Why is it that lunch always tastes better out of lunch box? :-) As for the orange jumpsuit guy – creeper!
    You pictures are wonderful and I love the vintage wash you use. I must get more comfortable with photoshop asap!
