Dinos for lunch

One day last week to make lunch a little more special I decided to use a dinosaur sandwich cutter that my sister got for Spencer last Christmas.  Now in order for this to work I need two kids who want the same sandwich.  And Abbie and Spencer both agreed on peanut butter and jam.  The only little glitch to this story is that I overlooked the fact that Abbie will not eat crunchy peanut butter.

After I took this picture Abbie said, “I didn’t want you to get a picture of my sad face.”DSC_0016Not wanting her day to be ruined over a few chunks of peanuts I offered to make her another sandwich, but I also had to inform her that I couldn’t cut it into a dinosaur.  She was ok with that, and so I made another sandwich with smooth peanut butter.

DSC_0017Then a brilliant idea struck me and it totally made her day too.  I just got out my tiny metal heart cookie cutter and cut out two hearts from her half sandwich.  Yeah!!! for inspiration!DSC_0021 Here are two other pictures of Abbie that day.  One with her cute hair and one with her magnetix “work of art” for the day. DSC_0015DSC_0022Well that’s all for today folks.  I think my side of the bed is missing me.

I love the sandwiches! Conrad gets "special" sandwiches made with my PS Cut-N-Seal. He loves them and I don't have to pay those outrageous prices for a little round sandwich with the crust cut off! He even thinks it is cool that I leave the crust in the sandwich-keeper like a puzzle!
I love the Abbie did not want a picture of her sad face! Spencer looks as pleased as punch! I am happy that a new sandwich helped Abbie be happy. Wouldn't it be great if the worlds problems could be all fixed with a new sandwich!
I can not wait to make Karina’s hair look as cool as you are doing with your girls’!
