Update! This is a fun new spirit day.

They do this every once in a while at our daycare and all the kids go crazy for it. I don't, lol.

Haha

This is like the last week of school when hot lunch is "cooks choice". Just call it what it is, "empty out the pantry and freezer before summer!"

[Pilsy]

My daycare doesn't provide lunch, so I read this and was so confused.


I need more sleep.

My son loves bring your own lunch day. He is so excited to use his little lunch box and do what the big kids do.

I think it's cute. They do it maybe x3 a year.

Lol! That's a new one.

[JRo]

They do this occasionally and call it picnic day, and they all eat outside on blankets. They love it.

[lindsaymg]

My guess is it is "the chef/meal preparer has a day off on the calendar" day.

[pinotgrig]

That's so cute she kept asking to eat it! Lol

As a random semi-related confession, I am dreading when DS starts K next year because I'll have to pack his lunch. It just seems like so much work lol.

This was the biggest thing I was worried about when we started preschool this week. Lunches AND breakfast. We got bento boxes, sold our soul to Costco, and it hasn't been nearly as annoying as I expected, at least the first week. The bentos are key because I don't have to think about variety or portions.

Public schools there don't provide lunch? Hell no.

Our schools provide lunch but it's pretty dreadful. And I don't even mean nutritionally -- because it's pretty bad at that too.

I could have written this post! I actually think the bento boxes make it easier because you aren't dealing with containers or sandwhich bags.

I have literally packed the same thing for DD1 for the past 2 weeks. lol. She's had PB&J, cubed cheese, carrot sticks, and grapes. I might go crazy and pack strawberries next week instead of grapes. 

She did get cinnamon swirl bread the first week. I set her expectations too high.
