Bentolicious #121
Monday morning is always a challenge to get up early. The kids will always say... "still sleepy Mommy" ... but too bad they have to get up after the alarm clock rang at 6AM. We had a bad traffic jam this morning from home but luckily that my house isn't too far from the toll gate, so we made it around 20 minutes to school. And it took me about 30 minutes on the way back home. Sleepy bento is the theme for today's bento. Hope kids will not fall asleep in the class :D I bought the tiny jelly balls at the supermarket yesterday, perfect for the nose. Inside the box : 'sleepy' rice balls (seasoned with light soy sauce), pan fried tempeh, chicken honey mustard (leftover from dinner), sauteed brussel sprouts and chicken ham, and grape tomatoes.
Hope everyone will have a great start for this week! Can't believe that we will soon enter September, and like end of the year in the corner? Time flies very quick ... *sigh*

So happy that this month I got the BOMB (Back to School theme). Thanks for Debra to arrange this fun event, BOMB every month for us to participate! Stay tuned on her blog, Hapa Bento for the next BOMB theme.

@babykins : Thanks a lot Izumi for your sweet comment!

I have to go through the same thing too every morning. My son can't wake up but he always refused to sleep early at night.

What cute little sleepy bears! Love the little red nose on them!

My boy is like Angeleyes's son, refuse to sleep early (-_-).

These dozing off bears are like me now, feeling so sleepy after one day off from work.....

@Angeleyes : Thanks a lot Alice! My kids go to bed at 7PM for school days but on the weekend they are allowed to go to bed around 9PM, that is why they are having little problem to wake up on Monday morning :)

@Vanessa : Perhaps your boy still taking a nap? Sometimes that makes them can't sleep earlier during the night time. Thanks a lot Vanessa for your comment!

Heehee these guys are so cute, they look so sleepy! :)

@Susan Yuen : Thanks a lot Susan!

No more afternoon nap, but I will force him to take a nap if I have plan on that night (^.^)

haha these mice/bears DO look sleepy, so cute! what are the jelly ball noses? i've never seen that in my market - are they sweet, or savory (maybe tomato or chili with gelatin)?

this is what i look like when i wake up in the morning!

@megan : Thanks a lot Megan! Jelly balls sold in the pack, they are sweet. I will take the picture next time to share it with everyone here :)
