Something I have added this year is the kids are on a rotational day schedule to help in the kitchen. The whole day is theirs to help. This makes it easier on everyone. They all love to help but the fights were getting a little ridiculous:) Here is our menu for the week:

I think we are all glad to be back on a schedule, the kids aren't fighting as much as they were before, which makes this mama very happy:)
