Doctor Who in a Beaba Tray

Today John gets a fun little snacky Doctor Who lunch!  I packed it in his blue Beaba tray. He as three small pb&j sandwiches -- one with a TARDIS and one with a Dalek. Grapes, LifeSaver Gummies (his Omega 3s are underneath), carrot sticks, Fritos, and colby jack "WHO." He also has a container of yogurt on the side.

Last week we used the Beaba Trays for the first time with great success! John said that even though he dropped his lunch bag once (and can't help but swing his backpack around on the way to school) none of the food got mixed up and the lid didn't come loose ... and he didn't need any help getting the lid on and off when it came time for lunch. Add all of that to the fact that he loves having a variety of  "snacky nibbles" and it ended up being a winner all around!
Due to Mid-Winter Recess John doesn't have school this week but he still needs to eat and he's so in love with these trays that he'll get one to have at home today:

I had to work last night and it is quite possible that I will fall asleep on the couch right around lunch time. Luckily my boy is sweet enough to know to just go grab his lunch from the fridge and let me snooze when he's ready for it! In his tray he has Annie's Organic Cheddar Snack Mix, grapes, colby jack cheese, Snapea Crisps (with ranch dressing in the center to dip), Annie's Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks, and a hard cooked egg.

100th Day of School Muffin Tin Meal

It's the 100th Day of School! Of course, John insisted on a special 100th Day lunch so here it is.

Isn't that tray great??? I was complaining about not having something more "muffin tin-ish" that wouldn't fall to pieces going to school for him and a friend told me about these trays. They're actually made for preparing/freezing portions of baby food but they work perfectly for lunches, too! The lid fits snuggly but isn't hard for him to get off. Each of the seven holes holds 2 ounces and is about 2 inches deep. Luckily it was easy to trim the ends off of the picks I used to get them to fit.
The top three holes each contain two tiny turkey and cheese sandwiches kabob-ed with a colby jack number and a trimmed star pick. The center has a hard cooked egg topped with colby jack "day." The bottom three hold grapes, gummies, and veggie sticks.
