In that picture, Lukas lo...Your kiddos are so cute. In that picture, Lukas looks just like Robbie, and Koda looks just like his Uncle Greg (just as I remember them when they were little boys!). <br /><br />I love your snack ideas. Since we homeschool, lunch happens right here in my (messy) kitchen, but it is always nice to have a drawer full of self-serve snacks. I usually have some home-canned applesauce or peaches in the fridge that my big kids can help themselves to. Wheat toast with butter is another good snack which I used to pack when I was in high school. <br /><br />I just made up 72 peach/banana fruit rolls which will also go into the snack drawer (72 sounds like a lot, but they will be GONE before you can say "growing boys"). My boys also love pickles or pickled green beans as a snack, and those can be taken along in a sandwich bag or container. I like to make what I call “power cookies,” which are a low-sugar, high protein alternative to expensive protein bars, and my homemade version of the Lara Bar, which is just pureed dried fruit and nuts pressed together in a little cake (I call them Mama Bars). <br /><br />That’s all I can think of right now, but your list is wonderful! Thank you for posting it again. I'm sure I will be referencing it for ideas!StaceyNnoreply@blogger.com
