Halloween Lunch -- Mini-Whovian Style!

Happy Halloween!!! Since we are far from being traditional, John's Halloween lunch is a bit ... well ... us.

It's a light lunch since he's going to be having LOTS of snacks at school for their party and then probably a pretty big dinner when we go trick or treating tonight at the mall. Ham & cheese TARDIS, colby jack words, provolone trick-or-treater, grapes and Halloween LifeSaver Gummies.

John decided months ago that he wanted to be the Doctor for Halloween but kept flip-flopping between wanting to be "Doctor Ten" or "Doctor Eleven."

He's going to be both.

In the picture above is his "Doctor Ten" (with Adipose) for trick-or-treating tonight and for his party and parade at school today he'll be "Doctor Eleven" :

Mo Willems' My Friend Is Sad

Poor Gerald is so so sad and poor Piggie keeps trying to cheer him up in another great book by Mo Willems: My Friend is Sad. One of the ways that Piggie tries to cheer up his elephant friend is by dressing up as a robot and that's what inspired John's lunch for today. He has mini ham and cheese sandwiches for Gerald and Piggie, SnaPea Crisps, yogurt raisins, fruit snacks, and Scrabble Jr CheezIts.

Sandra Boynton's What's Wrong, Little Pookie?

We love love love Sandra Boynton and especially her Little Pookie books. What's Wrong, Little Pookie? has been a particular favorite of mine since John was a baby and I would read it to him while rocking him. It still holds a place of honor on his nightstand. We read it together for the first time a few nights ago and when we got to the very large hippo with the itty bitty shoes John almost fell off of the bed he was laughing so hard!
The usual suspects for lunch: pb&j on wheat, colby jack cheese, grapes, and fruit snacks.

Thomas The Tank Engine

John has loved Thomas The Tank Engine for as long as I can remember. How it's possible that this is his first Thomas lunch I have no idea but I apparently did a good job putting his lunch together since he actually cheered when he saw it!

Thomas is pb&j on wheat with colby jack letters, pretzel sticks, yogurt raisins and fruit snacks.

I Speak Dinosaur! by Jed Henry

When John first flipped through the pages of Jed Henry's I Speak Dinosaur! he was fairly certain that he would end up having to put a sad face on his reading log because it would be too hard. He only needed help on the nonsense words and a couple of others!!!

His sandwich is MOMables' Kids Classic Egg Salad (I normally make his egg salad with ranch or thousand island so we'll see how the change up goes over!). He also has some mini Ritz, a colby jack stick, grapes and fruit snacks.
