We have dinner night schedule set up... Each child has the responsibility of setting the table which includes plates, silverware, napkin and a water cup, picking out a noodle, potato, or rice (if not a casserole), and a vegetable (peas, carrots, broccoli, green beans {cut or whole}, or corn) of their choice... Dinner Night Child then with some assistance if necessary heats up the meat/casserole, prepares the rice or noodle (as applicable) and the vegetable... They also serve the food onto the plates... Finally they call everyone to the dinner table for prayer and to share the meal as a family... Sundays everyone helps with dinner responsibilities... Mondays and Fridays are Track Star Night, Tuesdays and Thursdays are Musical Princess Night, and Wednesdays and Saturdays is Writer/Illustrator Night... Comedian and Scientist will be added to the rotation once they start Kindergarten...
