As most of you know I have lots of littles around here. But I count the 8 year old and 6 year old as olders (they can do more and be counted on a little more) and I have a 2 year old and a newborn (definitely the littles!), with a 4 year old smack in the middle – she vacillates between being counted as an older and a little – depending on the task (and the day)!
On this particular day I was craving homecooked food (it’s been a long pregnancy of lots of frozen food, ugh). So I started in on my grandmother’s cornbread dressing and sweet potato casserole. Not exactly quick and easy dishes. I try to keep little hands from destroying the rest of the house plus let them “help” – also not easy! This is how I sometimes manage it. I was up to my elbows in mixing bowls and I looked around and realized how ridiculous my kitchen looked. I, of course, snapped a picture.
And if you’re wondering what I did with the older two while I was doing all this… well, I relied on one of my favorite babysitters, of course!
