It’s a Disney kind of day

I’m a slave for mail. The Good, exciting, non-bill type of mail (which I don’t get nearly enough of), and today was a good mail day! I ordered some sammie cutters off eBay a little while ago and they finally arrived!! For a mom on a (new) bento mission I’m a tad lacking in the bento supplies, so when I found these super cute Mickey and Minnie cutters for a good price, I just had to get them. The Shrimp loves Minnie mouse (and is often found throwing a fit in the morning if she can’t wear her Minnie mouse shirt!) and I knew she would love Minnie and Mickey shaped food in her lunch.

I tested these cutters out at home first. They were definitely smaller than I was expecting when I opened the package, this was definitely a case of “picture enhanced to show details” kind of thing, however I take blame as I likely didn’t read the size in the description. Regardless, they are still super cute. I made sammie’s (shocker) as a test. One PB&J and one grilled cheese. The cutters definitely worked better on the PB&J than the grilled cheese as they were harder to get through the toasted bread. I suppose I could have individually precut the bread and cheese and pieced it together to grill, but that just seemed like too much work! Also, the little faces that you press in didn’t show up well on the grilled sammie. All in all I’m very happy with them! 

For the kids lunch I decided to mouse-ify some watermellon that was on it’s way out. Nathan will eat anything, but the shrimp isn’t a big watermellon fan so I’ll see if I can sneak it in, in mouse disguise!
