Adventures in Room Sharing....
It's official. The kids are sharing a room. After a long discussion about why you must be 7 years old to sleep on the top bunk, JC and Sofia settled into their perspectives beds. I thought it was going to be a hard transition because JC normally requires my presence until he doses off and Sofia prefers to listen to music alone but they both compromised into a new sleep routine. They actually enjoy each others' company and have many deep conversations about life as they drift off to sleep. Kids can surprise you sometimes. They seem to cling to a routine until you embrace a new one and then they get all excited about something new. We will see how it goes but so far so good.

Dinner...ugh...
What to make for dinner? This is the question that plagues me right around 5 pm daily. Chili, spaghetti, baked chicken...blah. Nothing seems appetizing. Ask the kids and they will say either pizza or chicken nuggets without fail for every dinner. I am a creative person however at 5 pm, after working all day, and with "Starving" children biting at my heels, my creativity hits a wall. Does anyone else feel this way? I wish there was a way to enjoy cooking dinner? Currently, my main goal is to cook something that can make it to the dinner table in 20 minutes or less and that is somewhat kid-friendly. It doesn't leave many options. I need a "dinner genie" that pops out delicious meals in 20 minutes while I distract the children with play. Wouldn't that be amazing!!
