Neverland/Pixie Hollow Wrap-up

I decided to put all of the pictures from the past week's theme together... just in case anyone missed one and doesn't want to be bothered backtracking ;)

Jake and the Neverland Pirates! (in his new @Fit_Fresh containers!)

Tomorrow is Friday which means the end of Neverland/Pixie Hollow Week.

We're wrapping up with the newest friends of Peter Pan and Tink -- Jake and the Neverland Pirates (Izzy, Cubby and their parrot, Skully). This isn't the first appearance of Jake in one of John's lunch bags, but it's soooo much better than the one back in early October. I'm rather impressed with how much better I've gotten!

The kids are all ham and cheese on wheat. Skully is drawn onto a Nilla Wafer. Pixie Hollow fruit snacks are scattered about. The Fit & Fresh half-cup has clementine slices and grapes (and it fits perfectly in his new Fit & Fresh Lunch Pod if we leave the ice pack out of the lid).

I've had so much fun making this week's lunches ... but I've just about burnt myself out with them all at the same time. They have, without a doubt, been my most complicated and detailed lunches yet. I hope you all have enjoyed them as much as John has!

Mr Smee!

Mr Smee was quite a bit harder than I had anticipated. I blame the bread. Because so much of his detail is white (his hair, the stripes in his shirt, HIM) I used "Wonder Smart White" instead of the usual whole wheat. It just doesn't work as well with the whole "trace & transfer" technique. I basically had to redraw the entire thing because the transfer was so faint. Live and learn, right?

Anyhoo, Mr Smee is a pepperoni sandwich and he's joined by some Whole Grain Pringles, grapes, and a cheddar stick.

And he definitely looks like he's up to something . . .

Peter Pan & Tink (the NEW lunch for Wednesday!)

John decided that he really really wanted the "We can fly" lunch for dinner tonight, so on to Plan B ... or P ...

Peter is bologna and cheese on whole wheat with a sliver of a Cherry AirHead feather in his cap.

He's joined by TinkerBell (of course) drawn onto a Nilla Wafer.

Also in the box are Pixie Hollow fruit snacks and two more wafers.

On the side, a clementine and Yoplait Splitz Rainbow Sherbet yogurt.

I'm real glad I had already started the top of the sandwich so it was pretty easy to pull it together! Of course, now I'll have to rack my brain trying to figure out Thursday's Plan B :)

We can fly! We can fly! We can fly!

Peter Pan Week continues with Wendy, John & Michael flying over the rooftops of London!

The trio are chicken breast and honey mustard on whole wheat flying through star shaped crackers over colby rooftops! John has yet to decide whether he wants a pear or apple in his bag, but one of them will be added to the lunch bag along with a pouch of flavored water (thank you, Capri Sun!).

TinkerBell and Terence

For Tuesday's Peter Pan Week lunch we'll be visiting Pixie Hollow -- where TinkerBell and her friends live.

TinkerBell is joined by her best friend, Terence, in one of the new KlipIt boxes we found at Old Navy. (If you haven't seen any of the new Tink movies, Terence is a Pixie Dust Fairy.) The sandwiches are pepperoni & mayo on whole wheat with swiss cheese wings. Tink's side has Pixie Hollow fruit snacks, Terence's has more pepperoni. Also included will be an applesauce cup (either Wild Berry or Peach Mango) and juice.

Tomorrow? Think happy thoughts and get ready to fly!

Captain Hook & Tick Tock Croc

To celebrate John's recent love/obsession with all things related to Neverland and Pixie Hollow, we'll be having a week-look theme of Peter Pan/Tink lunches!

Monday features Tick Tock Croc trying to, once again, devour Captain Hook!

The sandwiches are cheese on whole wheat (with an AirHead hook).

Sides are pepperoni bites, grapes, and baby carrots.

And no, Kendra, you still can't hate me.
