becoming greener...
as i was contemplating the amount of plastic bags i would now be using with two kids needing lunches everyday...my stomach started to hurt a little.
here's the math...
2 kids x 3-ish bags/day x 5 days a week = about 30 bags just for one week. that is kinda gross.
so i decided to purchase these cool lunch boxes i saw featured on the today show a few weeks ago. they are from a company called goodbyn and are really similar to the bento boxes that are popular now. they come in cool colors with 2 pages of really fun, quirky stickers to decorate with. i used the stickers to put their names on first and then let them go wild. here is what they came up with...
as you can see, instead of using the stickers to make funny faces they chose to just randomly place eyeballs, mustaches and whatever else all over the place. alas, true artistes cannot be expected to conform, no?
here is what the inside looks like (there is also a water bottle that goes inside). each compartment seals off separately so you don't need to use any bags. and the whole thing is dishwasher safe, even with the stickers on.
we have been happy with them so far. the boys were so excited to decorate them and i even managed to put a little message on the back...
