Fortunately, Turken just likes sandwiches.<br /><br />Indiana law says 16 and a half, so March. Or as soon as he gets 50 hours of driving with us. He has to turn in a log. Considering he only gets a couple hours a week, it could be a while. We really need to buckle down and get him behind the wheel.

As for packing lunches - my girls are both vegetarian and the choices at school were not what I’d call healthy so I’ve been packing lunches for 11 and half years!

And he wouldn't eat sandwiches, so I had to MAKE him something and put it in a thermos. Hot dog. Soup. Refried beans. It got old. In middle school, he could get a hamburger every day, and that was the end of me having to make lunches for him. It was a joyous day. Hang in there!<br />When is Phoenix going to get that driver's license? Four more days at our house.<br />Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and Super Bowl Sunday, we feast on appetizers found in our grocer's freezer and reheated. Taquitos. Pizza rolls. Potato skins. No squeezy cheese, but as a side note, my vet keeps it in the exam rooms and gives it to her patients to calm them down or get them to take a pill. Fletcher is a fan.<br />Good luck this weekend. I know it will be bittersweet.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-47065328059391704382015-01-31T23:49:48.012-05:002015-01-31T23:49:48.012-05:00My high school best friend and I used to eat hard ...My high school best friend and I used to eat hard pretzels with spray cheese on them.
