We cooked and prepared food from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., minus some breaks, of course, to tend to our four combined children (who are 5 years old, 3 years old, almost 3 years old and 6 months old). Despite the few toy wars that come with preschooler territory, the three older kids played so well together.
And I love my new freezer, for the record.
I so have to get a freezer and those books…maybe if I did that I wouldn;t be so frazzled at the end of the day…although my weekly meal planning does help in that area too. I'll have to try recipes Im pretty sure my picky kids will eat first 😉 MindyE
oh…….my……goodness.
