Empty Plates

Making dinner last night took as long as making Thanksgiving dinner and yet, all it was, was a glorified side dish casserole. I made it into an entree by adding sausage (also to increase its likeability to Eva, who requested sausage and noodles again). So, the dinner that I started preparing at 4:30 and was supposed to be done shortly after 5, took until 6:15 to get into the oven. Among the list of things that caused disruption were: Eva, Eva, Ellie, Ellie, Eva, Eva, Eva, Preston, Preston, Ellie, Eva, Eva, Eva, Ellie and Eva. Mostly Eva. With the screaming and the needing to pee her pants and with trying to feed Ellie paper and then Preston screaming because it was his coloring paper and then, and then, and then. However, hard work gets results. Because although half of this dish ended up on the floor before going in the oven (Eva), it turned out alright.
