The Bento is Back

The bento is coming back. My bento-making-fun has been on a hiatus since Spud's daycare offers a hot lunch program. In a couple of weeks, Spud will be leaving daycare for a pre-K summer day camp program and there ain't no hot lunch program there. Even though it does add a bit to my already fairly packed schedule, I've missed making the bentos and am kind of excited about making them again.

I found these shots of some bentos I've managed to squeeze in here and there. The boy asks for them regularly and so I sometimes put them together for weekend outings.
