Yowza! What a book!

The mid-season finale of Doctor Who aired this week. It was amazing and heart-wrenching and hilarious and all of the things a great episode is.... including excellent fodder for lunch!

No spoilers because there are still those who have not had a chance to watch, but the "lunch" for tonight is based on the book above and the phrase repeated several times while the Doctor read it to Amy.

And lest ye think I forgot about John, he just wanted a "snacky lunch" for Monday:

Nobody expects Monty Python in @EasyLunchboxes

 

Spanish Rice, Cheese, Craisins, Special K Strawberry Bars, White Cheddar Cheez-Its

Jack's House (a @Scholastic book by Karen Magnuson Beil)

Now that John is in the first grade every night he has to read as part of his homework and keep a log of it to turn in each Friday. Wednesday night he read the book Jack's House and loved it so much he asked to have it for lunch on Friday!

Max is actually the main character in Jack's House and was made using the amazing new CuteZCute Animal Friends Food Deco Cutter and Stamp Kit! The main head cutter was flipped upside down and became his peanut butter & jelly head. It was also used for his construction helmet. The panda nose and mouth became his nose and mouth, the eyes became his floppy ears and the ears became his eyebrows. The holes from the pig snout ended up being the perfect size for Max's eyes. John absolutely loved how it turned out!

(also included are grapes, pretzel sticks and Veggie Straws)

Garfield & Odie

John loves watching Garfield and Odie! Recently they had an episode with dinosaurs, apparently, so when John saw that I had grabbed a can of mini dinosaur pasta he thought it would be perfect to go in his Garfield Thermos jar. Odie is drawn onto bread and butter (the perfect thing to sop up sauce) and in the other side container are yogurt raisins and LifeSaver Gummies.

Two Doctor Who

This week saw the re-introduction of U.N.I.T to the Whoniverse. Leading it up now is Kate Stewart, the daughter of The Brigadier -- one of my favorite characters from Classic Who!

Fish Sticks and Honey-Nana Yogurt (standing in for custard). 

"Science leads" were the words of wisdom The Brig gave his daughter. 

Beret & mustache provolone on mashed sweet potatoes. 

LifeSaver Gummies are my sweet treat.

**************************************

John decided that he wanted a Tardis for Tuesday:

 Peanut Butter & Jelly on whole wheat. Grapes. Space Adventure Goldfish. LifeSaver Gummies.

My friend Jenn also did a great lunch based on the episode The Power of Three over at Bento for Kidlet!
