Here is the lunch box we are using.

And here the lunch ideas that will be inspiring us over the next few months.  I also found some great photos of lunch boxes.

Best wishes

I have also had a virus on my system that has been sitting there inactive for a year (which means all my backups are corrupt) and it has taken my husband (my own personal computer tech) a whole week to find it and clean it up.  Hopefully I have a clean system now.

In the meantime I have gotten used to a pen and paper to do list again.  Not so efficient when I lose the piece of paper or stuff gets piled on top of it.  I look forward to getting more done again once this computer issue is resolved.

Best wishes

Now I just have to keep the boys from eating it.  I really want to see how it melts.  Insert wicked cackle.
