A New Schedule

Today has a to do list and it's Saturday. That is normally not the case, except today we must prepare for my husbands new job. We will be going shopping for groceries and then probably spending the day making easy meals to go for Dad. The kids love being a part of making things happen in the family. They are able to see their part, and how it makes a difference. "My Dad has lunch because I took some of my time and helped make that happen". Anything they participate in is never too small or not enough. Putting the ice pack, or lunch items in the cooler, wrapping the sandwich, no matter. They care that they had a part. Its always good to show how that one prep. was a big help. For ex. no ice pack, hot icky lunch. Any ideas? Thank you in advance for quick, not complicated cold meals for lunches on the go.
