My Geeky Valentine Hop

The geeks have been unleashed yet again and this time we're getting all lovey-dovey for Valentine's Day!

So, after you take a look at My Bloody Geeky Valentine, take a stroll down Lover's Lane on over to BentoForKidlet by clicking on the button at the end (and then click it again there to continue!).


I'm geeking out over my love for Supernatural once again ... and, specifically, Cas and his love of ... hamburgers? (Don't judge the fallen angel. They make him very happy.)

Top Section: mixed vegetables with provolone words

And the non-geeky lunch for the kid:

And the click:

He read it - he made it! (Most of it, anyway!)

Last night John read a Scooby Doo Reader book on his Storia app -- A Very Scary Valentine's Day! After he went to bed I started working on his lunch for today by drawing Shaggy & Scooby on some Empire Jack cheese & making a heart shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwich... and then I went to bed before finishing.

Not to worry, though, because when we woke up this morning John finished making his lunch!

Along with his sandwich and cheese he picked out two heart picks and a french fry pick (for the fries Shaggy snagged from the cafeteria in the book), grapes, Turkey Bites, a few Mini Reeses, Veggie Sticks, his Omega-3 Gummies and, of course, Scooby Snacks!

Does your kid ever make lunch? Have you (or have they) made fun Valentine's meals? Have you made anything for lunch this week?
Link up along with me!

More lunch love

John's home sick from school again today. Of course, we're hoping this is the last of it as he seems to be going a bit stir crazy and really enjoys school.

If he does go back tomorrow, his lunch will be based around the balloon I got him at the drugstore this morning for Valentine's Day:


Ahhh distraction thou name are The Simpsons.

Valentine's Day Lunch Take Two

Make sure you visit the first Valentine's Day Lunch and follow the BBF Blog Hop at the bottom! You really don't want to miss the awesomeness!!!

John stayed home sick from school today for the first time all school year. In fact, I think for the first time since his tonsils came out this past June! When lunchtime came around today I gave him the option of the Dinosaur Train lunch or the Valentine's Day lunch I had for tomorrow.

He loved the cubed heart and pepperoni (and ate about half of the watermelon -- saving the rest for later), but then I needed something for tomorrow in case he goes to school which I'm seriously hoping he does. Not only is it his turn at snack day and he loves doing snack day, but also who wants to miss giving & getting Valentines in school??? Not my boy, that's for sure!

The Valentines he picked out to pass out are from the movie Rio (and, of course, the Angry Birds tie-in game). I had planned on using the extra card in the box and leaving it in his lunch as a little surprise ... but then he surprised me and left it for me last night! Such a sweet boy! So instead, now, he'll still get a Rio Valentine in his lunch box -- but in food:



Blu & Jewel are turkey on whole wheat. The hearts are colby cheese.



All together with his Valentines to pass out, Splitz yogurt, and YogaVive Apple Chips.





Valentine's Lunch in Fit & Fresh ... PLUS snack! (and the first ever BBF Blog Hop!)

Simple hearts for John for Valentine's Day in some of his new Fit & Fresh containers.

His sandwich is plain cheese cut first with a heart-shaped cutter and then with the FunBites cube thingie just to make it more "John-ish." It's sitting on a pile of pepperoni slices:

On the side in a half-circle container is some watermelon. Rather than use the melon baller on the slices I cut them into various sized hearts:

Add a strawberry milk box and a Strawberry Sundae Splitz yogurt and we've got a Valentine's Lunch!

Valentine's Day is also John's turn to provide snack for the class. I found some festive zipper seal bag at the dollar store and places a pack of Ocean Spray Berries & Cherries Fruit Snacks and a raspberry cereal bar (store brand of NutriGrain) in each one:

NOW be sure to head over to Crystal's Ramblings to see what fun she's packing up for Valentine's Day! It's our first ever BBF Blog Hop!
