Lunches at School Notes

As  a side, but totally about food.  Phyllis hasn't been consistently finishing her lunch at school. Thank goodness they haven't figured out to just throw it away yet.  I told her to not get food off the tray until she eats all of her own.  Yesterday she ate less than half her sandwich and her pickles.  That was all. Then she did MMA/Jujitsu for two hours and while she ate a hearty dinner, she wasn't a wreck like I would expect on so little food.  So, I asked, what else did she eat?  She told me that someone gave her some of a brownie.  I am glad she was honest but also surprised that she wasn't a wreck.  Maybe the breakfast burritos just hold that much better than oatmeal?

When my kids don't finish lunch, I have them put the leftovers in the fridge, depending on what it is, or eat it for after school snack.  They don't get snack unless they finish lunch at school.  But she didn't have time to eat after school because I needed to go early to check out the MMA stuff, so she ate it before dinner and then ate her two big helpings of dinner.
