This is a very important time for the family , especially with boys as they are always hungry. It’s a good sign that they are growing and are healthy and you can soon tell if they are unwell, as their eating habits changes.
My boys have a few favourites lasagne, chicken and rice , macaroni and cheese , I could be here all day writing this list.
Today I’ve made lamb casserole with potatoes ,which will be served with vegetables and rice. 
Some days I’m greeted at the school playground with “Do you have food or snacks we are hungry?”.
If there is an after school activity, I always have to bring a bag with snacks. If not there will be a lot of complaining.
Once my 7 year old was given £2.50 so I told him to use it for his morning snack at school that week.(which is £0.50 per item/day).
I was very confused when my son told me the teacher had passed a message on regarding £2.00. Only to discover he had attempted to spend the weeks allowance in one day.
I asked what he brought , he happily informed me” I had three sausage rolls and apple juice”. Surely that could have fed three people , and surely he must be full up with all that food and lunch. No he was eagerly trying to find out if dinner was ready yet.
I feel so good when I can prepare dinner before the school run , but that’s not always possible.
Love their appetites , they love fruit and vegetables so I shouldn’t complain.
This picture should make some Mums laugh. A little light humour.
