4th Day of School Lunch

I tested the Ziploc "easylunch box" with a water bottle in his lunchbox and it actually fit, yay. In today's lunch we have pastrami and corn beef with lettuce on brown rice bread. The last time I brought pastrami Mani didn't like it, but this time he thought it was so good. Carrots, cherries, a little caramel popcorn, cantaloupe and watermelon complete this lunch.

3rd Day of School

Carrots, caramel popcorn, strawberries, and watermelon. He had a chucky soy nut butter and jelly sandwich along with a bottle water. I purchased a Ziploc container that is exactly like the Easylunch boxes that I would like to use because the sandwich and everything could fit in one container. However, the lunch box that Ziploc will fit in will not allow room for a water bottle but a drink box will fit. I went to the store yesterday and didn't even think to buy juice boxes. But water is better for him.

"Wonder Balls"

Cookies that turned out to be "Wonder Balls". I tried them two ways cinnamon sugar and plain drop cookies. The cinnamon sugar cookies turned out nice because I flattened them out, however, Mani preferred the taste and texture of the now famous "Wonder Balls". Daddy even liked them. I put a few in a Lock n Lock container and put them in the freezer, I will see how that turns out.

I made these from The Cravings Place Cake & Cookie Mix. I totally forgot how good their mix could be. When I first started this adventure with Mani, their mix was one of the only ones that you couldn't tell was gluten free. I remember one Thanksgiving, I made the brownie mix and everyone but Mani ate them. He still doesn't like chocolate.

The mix was actually 50% off because it was nearing the expiration date. I wish I would have grabbed the other one that was left.

2nd Day of School Lunch

Corn fettucini w/butter in the Lock n Lock container, carrots, cherries, watermelon, one piece of toast and a bottle water.

Papi Help Me

My sister came to drop off something at my house when Mani was 3 years old. I ran down to meet her at the gate because here baby was in the car. Well, I get down there and she wants to show me something she brought. So I look really quickly and when I get back in the hallway I hear crying, I think is that my baby and I run upstairs quickly and I hear my poor baby saying Oh Papi help me please Papi help me. I felt so guilty. But I'm writing this post because now my sons relationship with Papi has changed so much. Papi is older now and less active so him and Mani don't spend as much time together.

Gluten, Egg, Dairy Free Banana Muffins

Note to Self: Whole Foods 365 gluten free muffin mix, egg replacer, soy milk and three bananas.

The Neighbors Know My Name

There is a popular R&B song out now and the lyrics say that the neighbors know my name, because the woman is screaming his name while they are making love. The things they let play on the radio just blows my mind. But anywho, I opened Mani's blinds in his room very wide one day and daddy said that the neighbors could look in. Why did Mani start singing the "neighbors know my name', lol smh.
