Skiing: Kids lunch




Saturday and Sunday I've been waking up and making our lunches
Before we go skiing.
It's killing me.

This week I'm going to ask my boys for help.
I will ask them what they want for lunch
And get them to help me earlier in the week.
So that when we go up
they will have their Saturday lunch
And they will have their Sunday lunch
All packed up.

I will of course add mine and Todd's into the mix
But the boys will each have their bagged lunches
One for Saturday
One for Sunday

Wednesday when they come home from school,
I will have pencil and paper ready
They will write down what they want for their lunches.
Vegetables, drinks and snack will be included in their order.
If I have time, I will go out after dinner and do the shopping

Or I will do the shopping Thursday morning and either get the lunches ready or
Wait for them to come home and have them make their lunches.
They will each have two bags marked with their names.

I bought a bunch of these Sporks at Binz,
I brought out my Ikea Malemine bowls
and plates.
I've bought small thermoses for their soups
And I'm using Lulu Lemon and other small bags
To put their lunches in.
I'm also putting in a plastic bag for all their soiled plates and such.

I'm hoping this will also make it easier for them to tidy their own space. They can go and grab their lunch whenever they want to and be able to sit with their friends. Not have to wait for me to show up and "set" their table. They put everything back into their bag and put that bag into the bigger "family" cooler.

Does the image below make you gag.
I found this image and it does make me feel sick.
I'm sort of repulsed by it, It's too plastic. Or something is wrong.
But... it would be so nice to wake up on Saturday and Sunday
And know I don't have to worry about making lunches.
