Lunches: 3.2.16 - Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

So, March 1st is Dr. Seuss' birthday!  In the past couple years, the kids have been on mid-winter break on the day, so there have not been lunches... but I've had some fun in the past.

I was so excited that they were going back to school from break on Dr. Seuss' birthday, and I made them fun lunches, took pictures, and was about to blog...

And then I got the call that school was canceled - "snow day," though there was no real snow, just inclement weather, icy roads, and generally no fun...

I asked the kids, and they both said that they would be happy to eat theis Seussian lunches today!

I bring you... Green Eggs and Ham!

Green egg: 0g, ham: 3g, blueberry sauce: 19g, sunflower seeds: 3g

They both generally have the same thing.  The Boy has a hard boiled egg with green food marker to make it green, along with a ham steak (also green), a blueberry fruit & veggie pouch, and some fun rainbow candy coated sunflower seeds - they seemed Seussian.  His snack is a fruit & nut bar (not pictured, 16g)

The Girl also has Green Eggs and Ham, along with Cara Cara oranges, and some candy coated sunflower seeds.

Did you celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday?

It's Wednesday, and we had pizza for dinner last night, because I spent the whole day sleeping... I woke up essentially to a message from The Hubby (who was not home yet), telling me to turn on the porch light because dinner was on it's way.

That's love.  Taking care of your sick wife.

I feel much better today - thank goodness!  I do NOT like being sick.
