Sometimes, Simple Works Too

It's Friday! Yippee! I hope that all of you had a wonderful week & that your weekend will be fun and eventful. I know, I know, I sound as excited as I feel as I'm still trying to kick this cold and get back into the full swing of things (ever since Wednesday I have been not been feeling 100%).

Last night we had our niece sleep over so I had 3 lunches to pack. I honestly wished I could have made my little Sparky (that's her nickname!) a cute Hello Kitty bento lunch, but Auntie BFF (what she calls me!) just didn't have the energy last night. I kept it simple, and sometimes simple is best. I showed her this morning and she was thrilled! 

I used mini sandwich cutters shaped like a bear, elephant and rabbit. There's also a star and heart sandwich.  Grapes and carrots and since it's Friday I included a little treat: Vanilla Bear Panda Cookies.

Husband to the Rescue!!

In my previous post, I mentioned how I was not feeling up to par yesterday and was pretty much in bed for most of the day/ night. God has blessed me with the greatest husband ever who not only took care of pretty much everything last night...he also made the boys their lunch. This is how the conversation went:

Me: "Babe, can you please make the boys their lunch for tomorrow? 

I really don't want them eating at school."

Hubby: "Ok but it's not going to be all pretty like yours."

Me: "That's ok. As long as you make them lunch, 

you don't have have use the bento boxes. Just make sure you take a picture of it."

Hubby: "Why do I need to take a picture of it then??"

Me: Smile. Back to bed.

(Later on I saw him looking up kids bento lunches)  < ---- This is why I love him.
I heard some clattering going on in the kitchen later that night and this is what I found in the morning when I was getting ready to take the kids to school. Swoon!! What a guy!

So not only did he make their lunches, but he made TWO different sandwiches for the boys!! Like I said before, I'm totally blessed to have my husband, not only because he takes care of our family and loves us so much, but because he also takes interest in the things that I love & supports me just as much in them. I love you, Mr. Ochoa
