Taking our lunches

Aunt Danielle gave the boys super cool Darth Vader lunch boxes and Cars sandwich containers for their birthday.  It was like one of the first few days of school and the twins decided to take their lunch to school that day.  I pack them a healthy lunch to take with them. We use the lunch box and sandwich containers, that even came with a nice ice pack, and think we are set.  I pick them up from school, ask about their day, how their lunch was etc.  Then we get home and I go to put away and clean up their lunch boxes. Well come to find out both lunch boxes make it home, but the trash can got the sandwich containers and one ice pack.  Both boys were pretty upset about it.  I found it kind of hard not to laugh about the whole situation.

Lesson learned...remind children not to throw away sandwich containers.  It didn't even occur to David or I to talk with the boys about that.  I was actually kind of surprised that the school didn't have someone watching the trash cans on the first few days of school, especially since the building only has Kindergarten and 1st grade.
