"But you'll waste the rest of the sandwich"

These words from my childhood are on my mind a lot lately as Kieran & I explore the wonder of cutting Halloween cookie shapes into his sandwiches as we pack his lunch for preschool. He gets so excited about his special ghost, pumpkin, bat & cat sandwiches.

I always wanted to do fun things with my lunch when I was little, to no avail. Two days worth of cutouts is enough for a lunch sandwich for me, I've always been the weirdo who likes the crusts better anyway. I certainly don't care that it's not intact and rather enjoy the resulting holiday outlines. Creativity, fun & a bit of magic in my son's eyes are much more important.
