Bento 113 - Panda lookalike

Made E's favourite egg, cheese & sausage sammies for his school snack today. Hope he likes this little panda which I still cannot convinced myself that he looks like Panda.. lol.. well.. wait till me ask E what he thinks later.
Inside the box there is also a mini honey orange which is only available once a year during the Chinese New Year.

The Chinese New Year is getting closer.. just can't wait to celebrate with the kids and family!

Bento 112 - Pikachu & Mijumaru

Hello and Happy New Year everyone! I feel great to be able to back to my bento making routine again. Actually E started school last week, but i was too tied up in my work so i just make simple bento without posting up here.
I was able to breath a little this week, so i make up my mind I must at least make one cute bento for E. :)
He was watching Pokemon cartoons recently, so i decided to make the popular Pikachu and Mijumaru pokemon monsters.
E was delighted but demanded I should make a more detail pokemon monsters next time, with the body and tail..haha..
alright, alright.. maybe my little ones has high expectation on my bento creations. maybe he didn't know his mama is trying her very best to make a decent bento for him.

Snowman Marshmallow Pops

We are on a long bento break.. so I thought of posting some photos of my Christmas project. ;)
I made some Snowman Marshmallows pops for the kids coming Christmas celebrations. Hope they like them.
Wish you a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year !

Bento 111 - Little Bee

Though Ethan's School holiday has started this week, but he will be joining the school's holiday class for a week. The kids will have lots of fun activities at school.
So I still prepare simple bento for E.
Today's menu is his favourite macaroni and with a little bee made from egg.
You realised there is another picture of bread bento below.. that is for Little Miss E, she begins to show interest in his brother's bento. So I thought I can start making simple bento for her.
She love the Miffy and Minne Mouse cheese sammies so much that she even kiss the bread.. lol.. cute little girl..
So this is her first bento from mummy and my first double bento.
I can't wait to make double bentos for my kids when little Miss E starts schooling in 1 year time!

Year End School Children Party

Friday was Ethan last day of school for 2011, the school have a party where the students are asked to bring a dish to share with all teachers and children. This year I just prepare a simple and easy potato salad cup for the teachers and some konyaku jelly for the kids. ( I made bento snack box for the kids last year)

The salad in the cup idea was from a japanese bento blog.. i simply love the idea for party and picnic or even road trips.
Wrapped the plastic food cups with pink and green ribbon, and decorate the quail eggs with cute details, attached a small thank you card i made together with Ethan on the cover.
Hope this bring smiles on the teachers' faces. I want to say Thank you to all the teachers for their patience, kindness and guidance during the kids' tender years.
Good teachers make a great difference in the early stage of their lives.

Bento 110 - Macaroni and eggs

Another day without any inspiration.. i actually stared at the bento box for 5 minutes and still don't know what to make. In the end, I just place a few rings of eggs on top of the macaroni and few animal shape cheese by using the cutters.
However, my son loved this bento so much that he kissed me on the cheek this morning. And when i pick him up from school today, he told me proudly his classmates gathered around him to admire his bento.
All these little things makes my day, and a lot of people might asked why spend so much time making lunch or snack for the kids and decorate them with cute little details.
well, now I can proudly says, when our kids appreciate our love in making bento for them, its just priceless.
