Mr. Sandwich

I have been trying to be more creative with Emily and Bailey's lunches this year. They do get peanut butter and jelly most days (they love it and often choose that even when we have cold cuts or other choices for lunch)  but I try to do different sandwich shapes to mix it up. We have a pampered chef cut-n-seal which makes round, crustless sandwiches, and I also do hearts, butterflies, penguins, puzzles, dolphins, and flowers. But one day I had the idea to create Mr. Sandwich.

I bought icing mustaches on a whim in Target. I made a round sandwich, added a marshmallow cut in half with a chocolate chip stuck to each side for the eyes, and the mustache. Then, in the girls' notes I put in their lunchboxes, I wrote, "Enjoy Mr. Sandwich!" Well, they LOVED it. They were so excited when they got off the bus. Now I surprise them with Mr. Sandwich or Mrs. Sandwich (no mustache, Twizzler pull-and-peel smile) sometimes. They were off from school today for Labor Day so here's what they got for lunch:

Aren't they cute? :)
