7 year olds:

rice krispies multigrain
school dinner
sweets and shared powerade (it's sweetie day and I sent them into the shop with dosh before I remebered to forbid the fizzy drinks)
garlic bread
margherita pizza
squid
banana split

omg- feel awful typing that- realise that they've had practically NO fruit or veg today...

But scrummy - you got your kids to eat squid. That's impressive, or would be in our house.

Doesn't matter Scummy, it's only one day.

After all, how many of us adults really eat well all day and every day.

One of my son's is utterly stubborn, tc- he won't eat "mixed up foods" or most carbs but doggedly chomps through frogs legs, spicy chillis and seafood just because he knows most kids wouldn't... He is in short a (lovely) bananhead.

Good point, Mercy. Thanks both for making me feel better.

Breakfast - DS - shreddies (no sugar, semi-skimmed milk); DD - weetabix (ditto)

Snacks - DS - apple; DD - banana

After school - three biscuits each; some grapes each

They both only drank water
