ZeptoLab's Pudding Monsters!

Last night I had no clue what I would send to school today for lunch. A friend suggested Om Nom from the game Cut The Rope and, since I've already done two of those, I decided to open up the game to get a new idea ... and that's when we found out about Pudding Monsters. John said "yeah yeah yeah!" when I asked if we should get it and even though we haven't had it for a full 24 hours yet he's already asked for a lunch of it and decided that it should be the theme for his 7th birthday party ... in June!

In John's lunch bag (which is actually my lunch bag but he was so cute when he asked to use it I couldn't say no), a turkey pudding monster sandwich that he designed right down to the number of eyes, bow tie, party hat and pine tree. (Play the game. You'll understand.) He also has clementine slices, veggie sticks, Empire Jack stars (Only two. I would've gotten three but I screwed up and only put five eyes instead of the requested six. It wasn't a perfect level for me!), and a pudding cup. You can't very well have a Pudding Monsters lunch without actual pudding, right?

Embrace Your Geekness Day!

After I had John's lunch for tomorrow all made and posted I found out that tomorrow is Embrace Your Geekness Day! Granted, this is something I personally embrace every day but John is still just a little geeklet-in-training ... but it still deserves a lunch! So he gobbled up the cinnamon raisin bread lunch for dinner and I set out to make a EYGD lunch. It helps that we have a new rule for his use of my iPad and that is "educational games only" except for about 15 minutes a day when we snuggle on the couch and play something like Plants vs Zombies together. One of his favorite apps right now is Earth School HD so tomorrow for lunch he'll now have a lunch based on the little alien dude from the game:

Swampy from Where's My Water?

Another favorite game of John's is Disney's Where's My Water? 

Of course, Swampy had to become lunch sooner or later!

 

Swampy is bologna & cheese on whole wheat. He's joined by string cheese, grapes and fruit snacks.
