Today was the last day of the school year, and NorthernDaddy is excited. He feels like an enormous weight has been lifted from his shoulders; like the world is a happy place again.
Why?
NorthernDaddy doesn't have to make another school lunch for at least two months!
Creating school lunches is a complicated task - one that has to be performed every evening of the week. LittleNortherner's school lunches are a delicate balancing act between finding foods that LittleNortherner will eat, don't have to be heated, are "cool" enough for him to eat with his friends at the lunch table, and don't violate any of the school's rules about food allergies. If that isn't enough to deal with, there's also the pressure to make his lunches nutritionally balanced - just so the teachers and staff at the school don't think NorthernMommy and Daddy are the kind of parents that feed their child junk food. It's tough, and NorthernDaddy is glad for the break!
Maybe next year, the Spiderman lunch box can be retired!
