Feeding my crew is generally not simple, and it's never tidy. It does seem, however, that we've fallen into a routine that works pretty well. We work on school, until everyone is complaining that they are hungry. The kids then clear the table while I make lunch. After we eat, the kids clean the school room and kitchen floor while I load the dishes. Then we make the mess all over again. (Julia did not want to take off her new purple nightgown today, it wasn't worth the fight.)
Left-overs are the coveted lunch at our house. When the left-overs run out, it's sandwiches. Today we had leftover
hamburgers,
enchiladas and spinach quiche along with peaches,
cantaloupe and applesauce. It was better picks than usual!
What else makes lunch time clean up fun is Elijah, who rides laps around the kitchen island on his little trike. Fear of having my feet run over keeps me alert!
My mom has mentioned many times that it seems life would be more simple if we didn't need to eat three times a day!
ReplyDeleteFun to see your kids growing.
