Dinner at the Yarbrough's

This is how dinner went last night and is, truthfully, pretty typical (times are approximate):

5:30pm - Time to start dinner. Get out onion and garlic to chop for enchiladas. Landon immediately pulls up a chair to help. Get through chopping without any little fingers being added - phew!

5:39 - Start gathering spices and other cooking supplies while Landon pushes chair around kitchen.

5:40 - Back is turned and suddenly knives are being pulled out of chopping block. Landon is removed and chair is pushed back to table.

5:43 - Landon walks off and returns with chair. Back is turned the other way. Landon stuffs scrub brush down garbage disposal then proceeds to clean bread maker inside and out with same scrub brush. Landon is removed and chair is pushed back to table.

5:46 - Landon walks off and returns with chair. Back is turned yet another way. Landon gets a hold of ceramic cookie jar and investigates to see whether or not there are any cookies.

5:49 - Find toy that was brought home from library reading program. Give to Landon.

5:50 - Toy is left for dead on kitchen floor.

5:51 - Give Landon DVD from Wendy's kids meal. Figure he'll have fun destroying it.

5:52 - Landon is asking to watch DVD. It's actually some sort of game. He can't watch it.

5:53 - Exasperated! In goes Dr. Seuss's ABC's so I can finish making dinner.

6:00 - Chris is home!

6:20 - Dinner in oven.

6:40 - Dinner is served!

6:41 - Kaylee sits down at table and exclaims, "Ewwwww! This looks disgusting!"

6:42 - Food is blessed.

6:46 - Kaylee declares she's done and she'd rather be playing. Kaylee is told she needs to stay at dinner table a while longer.

6:47 - Kaylee announces that she will decide when she gets to leave table and she is going to leave now!

6:50 - Landon decides he is finished and lets us know continuously that he is stuck because of the buckle on his booster seat.

6:51 - For the rest of dinner we hear a chorus of "I'm stuck! Buckle!" and "I get to decide when I leave the table!"
