I might not be making lunch notes much anymore, but I ran out of gift tags for my young nieces and nephews, so I broke out the old Exacto knife and cut up some blank index cards into dino tags.

Now that the kids are in high school and college, I almost never pack a lunch anymore, which is why this Tumblr is dormant nowadays.

But today Beth, age 15, wanted to take some of our Thai leftovers for lunch, so it was time to break out the lunch note vibe and sketch one to toss in her lunch bag.

Yes, I know, I misspelled axolotl. I was in a hurry, and she didn't notice until I pointed it out. Focus on the meaning, folks, not the spelling.

Three more Halloween-Christmas mashup lunchnotes: Franken-elf, Frosty the Grim Snow Reaper, and Rudolph the Dead-Nosed Reindeer. And don’t forget Zombie Clause, posted a few days ago.

Stephen Blurry played better after he got contacts and changed his name....

This is a bad joke that is only funny because Luke, age 11, just got contacts for the first time. Or maybe it’s not funny at all. 

Apologies to Steph Curry.

Put the yin-yang together!

And then spin it, I guess.

Has anyone seen my invisible basketball?

It’s not there, really.

Smirked almond.

None of this smoked almond stuff, please. We only have sarcastic nuts in this house.

Squeeze the bird’s head and she will squawk!

This is about as violent as our lunchnotes get, I suppose.

Sometimes you have to learn regardless of your teachers.

My father taught me this, and it’s true.
