2013 Bento 258-292 Take It Tuesday

I will be trying to consolidate pictures into collages so that these posts won't be so crazy long with tons and tons of pictures. With three kids in school now that's 15 lunches a week. Fifteen pictures, the thing is it's not like I make Chraraben bento or pretty bentos, I just pack lunches, so the need for fifty million pictures is silly. But it's fun for me, so I think the way I can streamline things a bit is put each day's pictures in a mini collage. I can't promise it will get done, but the other alternative is don't come on the blog on Tuesday's because that's when I post lunches :)
