Back To School Bento

I had insomnia last night, even though it's not me who's starting School, lol. I went to bed at the same time as the boys but just could not sleep. All went well today, I hope I can sleep better tonight.

This School bus bento was actually made in early December, before I left for Tokyo, for a magazine. IT ate this while LT had a Christmas themed bento then. The bus is made from short grained brown rice, cheese, crabstick, ham and nori. The bows on the girls are cake sprinklers. The bento is packed with chicken teriyaki, broccoli, grapes and strawberries.


I made a variation for their lunch today. This time I wrapped the rice with egg sheet, and replaced the children with Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori. The other food are teriyaki meatballs, broccoli, grapes and strawberries.


The boys do not take the School bus to School though, I am still sending and fetching them to and from School. And for this first day, I walked with IT to School, instead of driving him, and it was an enjoyable short walk. We will probably do this every morning unless it rains. :)

Back to School Bento

The boys are back to School. I need to get use to the routine again, lol. I felt a little loss making their bentos this morning, did not know what stuff to get out, lol.


For their lunch, they had onigiri with five spice meatballs, ham omelette, broccoli, golden kiwis and strawberries.


A closer look. :)


And for snack time at School, LT had strawberry jam sandwich, five spice meatballs and grapes.


Same food for IT, except he wanted a peanut butter sandwich instead. IT saw me doing his bento when he woke up, he came and gave me a hug and said thank you. He really made my day. :)


It was still early after I'm done with their breakfast and bentos, so I made myself some breakfast. Salad with ham omelette for me.


And yummy dumplings for my lunch, made by my mum. :)


She always makes a different bundle just for me, because I do not like chestnuts in my dumplings. :)

Back to School Bento 2012

IT starts School today, but LT has two more day off, but I still made a lunch box for both of them. Argh, I had problem waking up early this morning, but good thing was since LT has no School, I've more time to do their bentos. Hope to get into the momentum soon, We all missed our holiday.

The original idea was to do a School bus, but I changed it to a car at the last minute. I thought they would be able to relate to the car better, as I send them to School by car. :)


IT's bento, with the car in his favourite color. In the bento are mixed grained rice, beef patties, tamago and sausage.


LT's bento, he likes blue. Same food in his bento as above.


IT's snack box for School. In the bento are nutella sandwiches, beef patties and sausage.


Back to School bentos for today. Hope IT is happy in School today. :)
