How to make dinner when you have three kids

Step 1:  Agree to five-year-old's request to do a painting project and set him up to paint.

Step 2:  Set babies up in high chairs with cheerios, as audience for the painting project.

Step 3:  Make dinner while all kids are entertained.

Life isn't usually this easy or gratifying, but I love it when it happens this way!  --Victoria
