I wish I was my Mom

This was a fun and super easy way to feed the boys today.  The salad on the bottom of the turkey rolls was leftover from last night.  The turkey was rolled with mild cheddar and held together by a new plastic pic I bought at Hobby Lobby last week.  The Chex Mix was on sale with a coupon again (yay!)  The fruit salad was a little splurge.  I normally just buy what is the weekly loss leader, but they were $.99/lb for the grapes and $3.99 for the strawberries.  The blueberries were $2 a pint which felt really high, but oh well.  My children love berries and they are the best fruit around.  The pistachio's were $3.99 a bag and I had a coupon.  I'll probably get 6 lunch sides out of the bag.

I make 3 lunches a day just in the Laptop Lunches.  Sometimes I make one for Cooper, but usually he just eats off a large plate that I doll up a bit.  Gryffin is still eating like a savage, so I don't bother with him.  I really should treat myself to a lovely lunch.  Isn't it a Mother's way to take care of everyone else and then grab a bite of whatever you can scavenge in the fridge usually while standing.  Then while you are standing over the sink, a little person comes by to mooch off of you?  This is just life for me right now.  I'm sure I'll be eating at a table one day with no one mooching off of me, but for now, I got little mooches.
