Christmas in February

So Biggest Loser was a tie again this week. This is making it really easy to stay within the NaBloPoMo theme, but doesn't make for much interesting blogging. Since I've been writing about healthy eating, I'll show off my new toys instead!

Santa visited my house today, driving a brown truck and wearing a matching outfit. Technically I bought this stuff myself, but that doesn't make it any less exciting to be visited by the UPS guy! I got new lunch serving supplies for the whole family. Nate got new lunchboxes, in which I am going to start packing him bento lunches (or at least my version). They are Lock & Locks, which means they're totally airtight and microwaveable. They also have removable dividers so he can remove the parts that aren't microwaveable when he heats it. I packed his first "bento" about an hour and a half ago. In it are: ramen noodles (no seasoning packet) topped with taco meat and shredded, smoked cheddar; orange cauliflower; half of an apple; dark chocolate Raisinettes; and a strawberry bar. It's not the healthiest meal ever made, but it's a start.

I wanted to do something similar for the boys, but didn't see a need for a box since we eat at home. I found some divided trays that will work perfectly. I was surprised at how big they are, but it's nice that they will be able to use them for a while. Naomi wasn't left out of the fun, either. I found some great 2 ounce containers that I will use to freeze and serve home-made baby food. She also got this adorable divided food container that looks like a mini bento box. This will be great for taking food to Grandma & Grandpa's. It even has its own spoon! At the left, you can see a picture of the motherlode!

I'd better sign out for the night so I can get a blog in under today's time stamp. Good night, all!
