The cruise ship is really a ham and cheese sandwich made with a tortilla, American cheese, honey baked ham, and string cheese. I was so pleased to see that he ate the whole ship when I cleaned out his backpack.
The ship is cruising on a sea of blueberries. JDaniel loves blueberries so I knew these would be missing from his Easy Lunch Box bento.
I thought he would love the goldfish crackers. He loves them at home. He informed me that if I made his lunch the night before and put his lunch in the fridge the goldfish get mushy. Mushy goldfish are not very appealing to me either. I thought that they wee thick enough to not get mushy.
The grapes and dried cranberries disappeared from the fridge too. Thank goodness they don’t get mushy!

All you need is a parrot and eye patch for a pirate ensemble to complete it! 🙂
You know – Pierce has never mentioned goldfish getting mushy, but I have packed them before and put them in the fridge overnight. Wonder if it bothers him ever?
Once the goldfish are open I store them in the ‘fridge. No wonder they don’t get eaten. Who knew?
The ship is cute. 🙂
This is such a fun lunch!
Such a great lunch!!
I love it and it totally looks like a cruise ship! We haven’t made any lunches yet because school doesn’t start until two weeks from now but I know what JDaniel means about mushy goldfish! My daughter has the same complaint.
The sea of blueberries was an especially cute touch!! No wonder he ate the whole thing!! –Lisa
I guess you’ll have to add those crackers in there in the morning instead of the night before. I think you did right by that sea theme!
A very fun meal!
I like to make meals that are fun as well. I got a comment from a staff member saying, “Your son’s always have the cutest containers.” I try. They still opt for hot lunch much of the time.
love this… and i had no idea that the gold fish would get mushy in the fridge… thanks for the heads up 🙂
Yum! I would love the blueberries. …and yes, I know all about soggy crackers in the fridge!
It’s a very fun lunch. I am always jealous of Moms who are creative with lunch making and enjoy making those pretty bento boxes. We are really struggling with packing up a lunch that daughter would eat, because she is so picky.
What a beautiful lunch you made for J. Daniel!
Very cute Deirdre! Thanks for sharing at my Pin Me Linky party!
