(David wearing an apron that’s a little too long, but loved and appreciated, anyway.  We like the colors, and the fact that when he makes a mess at the table I don’t have to wipe his legs, just his arms.)

Trees, by David, drawn with only the essentials:  dirt, a trunk, and an abstract cluster of leaves at top.  I love it.

Standing in my kitchen (where else?), I make a ponytail with the the help of a WF bulk bin twist tie.  I forget about it all day until David asks, "Why do you have paper in your hair?"

(Soba noodles with tofu and leftover frozen spinach, broccoli, green beans, and carrots in peanut sauce; spring rolls; fruit; peanuts and cilantro for garnish.)

These mustang stickers are auto decals from eBay; they’re weather-proof and so far kid-proof.  Wish I had more to decorate the whole face of the bento, maybe in oranges and reds like a sunset.  Yeah, it’s just a lunch box, but . . . why not?
