Molded eggs

Soooo is it weird that I am tickled to know that many of my older son's classmates are envious of his brown bag lunch?  LOL  I haven't been doing anything fancy at all. I have been putting in thing I know he likes. From black olives to sour watermelon slices. He said four boys all asked for a piece of the watermelon candy today.  Whoops!  He said he didn't share though as they are not allowed to (due to possible allergies)
He was instructed to find out the name and where I bought the candy and report back to his friends. Haha!

B has been snacking on his during lunch then ends up finishing it for dinner (his choice) Tonight I finally had the bright idea to ask if he only wanted half a sandwich. He agreed that was probably a good idea because I give him to much food. Learning process here it seems. I have also discovered that I prefer to make their lunches in the morning. In the evening it feels like to much of a chore and makes me feel negative. In the morning it feels positive and makes me feel all suzie homemaker-y. :)

Tonight I tried to make molded eggs. My eggs did not fill out the molds fully but what can ya do. I have a set of a car and fish. The picture gives you an idea of what I am talking about as far as molded eggs go. (scared you with the title huh?)

Dinner tonight was what I will refer to as garbage meatloaf. I used six pounds of ground turkey to make two meatloaf type creations. Each one had three pounds of meat, 3 eggs, one whole diced sweet potato- the rest was just made up between the bowls. They both turned out very well and I will be making this lazy style meatloaf again. 

I am really digging green grapes lately. The most recent ones I bought though are HUGE! Were talking the size of my thumb almost. I took a picture earlier to try and show you all the size of these things. The backdrop is my turkey meatloaf in case your wondering wth that is.
