And here I was feeling virtuous just for giving PB without the J, only on wholemeal bread. Now I am reminded that actually, I suck. Bean is coming to live with you. He will arrive at SEATAC, I expect you to pick him up. ;P

Those are some awesome lunch choices! And kudos to you, the mom, for doing all the shopping to keep all those choices in the house. I shop all weekend long to have stuff for my kids' lunches. Oh, and the Hubs is so spoiled that I make his lunch for him every day.
P.S. I think that schools should promote all these ideas. Too many parents at our school have their kids buy, or sign up for the free lunch when I know for a fact they can buy healthy items like this.

We made our own lunches, but I have to say I always wished my mom made them. Days that my mom put a note in my lunch always were awesome though.
I think it's fantastic that they are making good & healthy choices for themselves!

Beth: Believe me, I am no super mom. My husband was a huge proponent of make your own. It works for us, but I do feel ever so guilty because my mom always made my lunch through to high school or gave me lunch money. Li'l Man asks every so often why other moms make his friends' lunches, but I don't?

I go with give a village a fish, they eat for the day. Give a village a fish pole, they eat for life.

It's a little over his head as of yet.

Besides, it gives me more time to blog while I "oversee" lunch preparations. Heh!

Here I was blithely writing this when I see this: http://bit.ly/95gFBk and it makes me literally want to vomit as a mom. I cannot believe that happens 10 minutes from where I live.

It is all I can do to slap some organic PB and J on a few slices of organic bread. Your kids are amazing. I never thought to make my own responsible for their lunches and certainly the variety of foods available to your kids is really impressive.
I'm inspired.
Maybe we'll try something different.
Gulp.
