Bento lunches week of 10/11

There was no school on Monday so I have four lunches to share with you.

This was the first time I put go-gurt into Kylie's lunch box. She ate half of it at lunch and then came home and ate the other half. Does anyone know of a shorter to-go yogurt brand? One that would fit a bit better into her small bento box?
Go-gurt, strawberries, turkey sandwiches on pumpernickel, pirate booty, fruit leather.

Ham sandwiches, cucumbers, pretzels, dried pineapple and mango, grapes. I found the fruit picks at my local grocery store. I usually browse the bakery section to see if there is anything new I can use for her bento and suddenly these flamingo picks were there! The ends are quite dull so I don't think Kylie can her herself with them and it adds some fun variety.

Hi Stacey, Kathy and Teaberry! Thanks for your comments.

Kathy, I use a plastic egg shaper like this one:

You just boil the egg and when it is done and still hot, you peel the egg and pop it into this container then put it in your fridge. In about 15-30 minutes, you can take it out and it will be shaped. I usually cut mine in half for easier eating.
