Let's Pack Lunch!

Another round...

I'm feeling the lunch packing rut that inevitably comes with the winter season...

I wish somehow I could magically have the summer's bounty at my fingertips to give these lunches a little fresh, seasonal face lift. It seems all we're eating lately are apples, bananas, frozen veggies, carrots and peppers that are shipped from God knows where.
I also need to rejuvenate myself for being creative again and coming up with something more interesting than pb&j every time. It's almost embarrassing to post these repetitive pictures 'cause they look so similar...

But I'm gonna' do it anyway.

You know why?

'Cause I know almost every lunch-packing-parent out there feels this way and I think something can be said for just hangin' in there and sticking out this sometimes monotonous task. The reality is: Will doesn't care if they're repetitious! And at least he's eating a healthy lunch.

Also, I still believe this lunch box makes packing about as easy as physically and mentally possible.

So there.

I don't remember dates anymore. :)
