(I'll probably charge a small fee for the download.) Peggy, I've got one graduating this year, too. Thank God he's going to CC for a couple years and staying home or I'd be a MESS. Kristin, I'm so glad you've finally said hello!! The Ezekiel cereal is a good choice except for two problems (in my opinion): 1. It's very expensive, and 2. I think it tastes nasty! :) Liz, it is hard avoiding grains with kids isn't it? Thankfully, my kids are happy with this type of lunch: an organic whole milk yogurt, a fruit, maybe some carrot sticks, cheese, a water, and sometimes a homemade cookie. Trish, funny you should say that - we've been doing that schedule a lot this summer since the kids have been getting up later. (Breakfast, a healthy snack here and there that they get themselves, then a big dinner.) At school it would never fly, though. Not when all the other kids are sitting there eating their lunch. Not to mention that it is a loooong time between an early breakfast and when they get home. I don't mind sending lunch with them - it's sad when I'm there at lunchtime, though, and see what is in most of the other lunches: a lot of foods with ZERO nutrients...

The three-meals-plus-snacks thing is very new. Give your kids a good breakfast high in protein and fat and they won't need to eat again until dinner.

Since the topic of cereal is mentioned I need to ask... What do you think about Ezekiel cereal? It's sprouted and baked and tastes like Grape Nuts.

I often get elbow-deep in microscopes, salt maps or Cuisinere rods and suddenly realize it's almost lunch time and I haven't started anything! My oldest boy is coming back home for his senior year of high school, so no more cafeteria lunches for him (YAY!) It really does go too quickly. When John graduates this year, three of my children will be graduates and three will remain with us for a few more years. I try not to think that far into the future for fear of getting misty!

Good to know some people actually start at a normal time instead of crazy early like here! Lol, in Louisiana we’ve already started school a week ago!
