9 Days Until Halloween!

So my theme for today's lunch was Trick or Treating.  Going from left to right, we have two apple jack o'lanterns (we often see jack o'lanterns trick or treating) with a bat ring, a silicone cup of green beans (Ruthie has decided they are witches' fingers and we do see people dressed as witches when trick or treating) with a toy spider, a bag of Halloween pretzels (the kids got 8 at her school's Fall Family Fun Day on Saturday and I have 6 left for her lunches... SCORE!)... she often gets these trick or treating, too.  A toy spider sits on the pretzels.  She has two bat pb & nutella sandwiches (they also got two samples of nutella... I used half of the first one making these and giving her brother two pb nutella cracker sandwiches before he left for school... I'm definitely going to buy more... though I'll buy Kroger brand... because it's a big hit and you don't have to use much to taste it really easily on a sandwich... great for a treat!  She has another bat ring on her sandwiches and the sandwiches are decorated with food-safe markers by Wilton.  Finally, in a mini muffin/cupcake wrapper (turned inside out so she can see the inside) that has ghosts on it, she has 3 small tootsie rolls (another thing she often gets trick or treating... we got these Saturday, too... another SCORE!


This bento is all packed in her betty crocker container and I also sent her funtainer with OJ/water because she asked for that to drink.  She's very excited about this lunch and said she can't wait to tell her friends that she has chocolate in her sandwiches!
