I once picked up a 3 foot black snake and put it in my lunch bag. Took it back to the shop and set it on my super's desk so I could take it home after work.
He looked inside.
That went over real good :lol:

A week late and $3 short
I got my child a brand new Scooby Doo Mystery Machine lunch box, looking to pack some fun lunches, what are some ideas that you have done in the past? Which ones were a hit and which ones failed?

Walmart had a great sandwich cutter: makes two dinosaurs and didn't waste much. I love making "homemade" trail mix: some popcorn, chocolate chips, M&M's, peanuts, raisins, etc. And you can vary it day by day.

Homemade peanut butter crackers went over well too.

And don't forget the napkin that has "I WUV U" written in bright red marker with a great big kiss in bright red lipstick on it!

My two youngest are both in high school and I still make their lunches. :doh: Spoiled!!!!

We paid fiddy cent and had to buy a token on the way into school in the morning. If we lost the money or the token or forgot to buy the token in the morning, we were outta luck.

Damn, I remember those days. I forgot all about the token:lol:


Wow, I'm getting old :ohwell:

I rather make their lunches till they are older like when they can get a job and buy their own. On fridays i'll let them buy lunch or get them something special. Other then that its brown bag'n it! My kids love pb and j all the way!

I like the once a week idea that they can buy lunch. Or maybe let them pick from there favorite meal of the week and they can buy lunch on that day. Seems like the school lunches are so high in Carbs. and for mine it seems to make them gain a little weight. They spend all summer running around and burning everything off. Then go back to school and sit most of the day. This is the first year I'm trying to pack lunch everyday.

Hey, does anyone know where I can get a couple of those hard plastic sandwich boxes in LP?

Family Dollar in Leonardtown had some with characters when I stoped in there today at lunch time - I think there's one of them in the park
