Dinner of Champions!

Last night wasn't a typical night at our house. Due to a slight meltdown earlier in the day by one piano playing child (or at the moment, non-piano playing child), I wasn't able to make it to the grocery store before the barrage of softball games and baseball practices arrived. Our refrigerator was pretty bare.

So, in an act of sheer desparation, I fed my children COLD CEREAL for dinner. Let me state for the record that I have NEVER done this before in my nine years of being a parent! The funny thing about it is the reaction I got from my chicklets when I told them what we were having for dinner. You'd think they'd just won a million dollars! They were so happy and gobbled up their cold cereal like I would a great pasta dish or a nice steak.

It made me wonder why I slave over dinners every night that are usually bound to make at least one person unhappy. I may have to fall back on this new dinner plan more often. (Not seriously) It is enjoyable when I realize how easy my kids are to please - and how strange a way to do it! And now I know that Cold Cereal is the dinner of Champions!
