1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish: A Kid Lunch

Seriously, the weeks are going by insanely fast lately.  Is it because I know summer is slipping away?  It's almost August!

I got the idea for today's Silly Kid Lunch from some gummy candies I bought at the grocery store.

For the sammies, I grated some cucumber and mixed it with cream cheese and a splash of lemon juice. (Thanks for the idea Terry!)  I thought they were delicious, unfortunately, the kids were not fans.  I pretty much had to bribe them with the candy on their plates to eat them.

The lines on the fish and the legs of the jelly fish are fruit leather. (BTW, The Girl said, Look at the cute jelly fish!  The Kid said, It looks like those crabs have beaks!  One out of two ain't bad I guess.  lol)  The eyes on both are raisins, the "beaks" are mango.

The numbers around the rim of the plate are fresh mango, the orange seaweed/grass/reeds, whatever you wanna call it, is dried mango.  Raspberries at the bottom - some kind of sea creature?  Gummy fish around the rim and a gummy shark on the plate.

Here's today's lunch:

I took a few pics of the kids actually eating their lunch this time.

Here's an ADD pose for my brother-in-law.
