Confirmation of What You Already Knew About Me....

You already knew that I had organizational issues and I am quite lazy from this post.  Now I will reveal to you a new extreme to my lazy ways and add to it my rampant cheapness.  

One week I broke down in a fit of lazy and bought the already made and frozen PB&J sandwiches from the store.  And the boys liked them.  But I realized that they are not only are they expensive ($4.50 for a box of 4) but also tiny with their little crusts cut off--- G could eat the whole box of 4 for an appetizer.   So I figured that I could take a whole loaf of bread, PB&J from home and make my own.   I set out to do this yesterday.  A whole loaf of bread. 

Spread all bread with a thin layer of PB-- don't want the jelly leaking through as it thaws.  

Sandwich them and cut if desired.   At this point you could cut off the crusts but I don't.  Eventually a boy will be hungry enough to eat anything and will eat the crusts.  Leaving them on gives them the option and I am lazy.

Wrap in plastic and freeze.   If you have someone who doesn't like a certain flavor of jelly you will want to mark them somehow.    Not rocket science, but I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier.  I made 10 sandwiches for about $4.  That is 6 or 7 lunches worth-- remember G, huge eater right now.

So where does the lazy part come in?   Well, I still have the old lunchbox system set up where I fill items once a week and they are set to make lunches

 so this gives them one more option while extending the number of days I can cover after I refill all their supplies.   They make lunches until there are no items left in the supply then I restock.   Maybe this is more than you need to know about me.  Perhaps I should have left you with your Martha-esque delusions.

love and hugs, B
