My kids brown bag it to lunch at school more often than not. Well, maybe not in a true brown bag since that wouldn't be nearly as cool as the colorful or character lunch boxes they take these days. And they're not really even boxes...they're more like rectangular shaped carriers made out of some strong fabric material. But whatever you call them, they serve the purpose of transporting their lunches to school on days they choose not to buy.

My goal is to have a little part of me go in each of these lunch boxes - a little snippet of Daddy. A little laughter, a little cleverness, a little inside joke, a little rhyming...and a ton of love. I want my kids to be reminded every time they open their lunch at school how much they mean to me. How much I love them. And maybe be a little entertained in the process.

So every lunch I make has notes in the lunch box. You should try it too! Feel free to use any of the notes you see in this blog in your own kids' lunches. Or use them to be inspired to write your own.

This is important!

Another knock knock note.  These are always fun and it can be challenging to come up with a half decent one.  This particular note is not just a knock knock joke, it's also an 'action' note.  This means the recipient is required by lunch-note-law to perform the requested actions laid out in the note.  Penalties for inaction can include tickle torture, being forced to play Batman with your little brother, and watching your parents play your Nintento DSi XL instead of you.   The action requested in this note was very important!




Luckily they both performed the task perfectly.  Even so...I did manage to wrestle the DS out of their hands with a little tickling!
