I just have one, and I rely heavily on concert DVDs to keep him entertained while I'm in the kitchen. I'm a cheater. ;-)Shannon @ AnchorMommyhttp://www.anchormommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-65243574429318684652009-07-26T23:05:22.614-04:002009-07-26T23:05:22.614-04:00OMG that's funny.

It drives me crazy and I always let it ring through to the voicemail. <br /><br />Have you tried a movie for a distraction for the boys while trying to get things done or letting them help.

And every day I have a little girl crying or screaming because I am not paying attention to her while I cook.

Saying that is like taking a kid to a water park and saying, "Don't get wet, honey."<br /><br />I LOVE to cook and would just love to see Hubs TRY and stop me. :P<br /><br />There's a few ways to get something fast and easy done-first, prep stuff the night before or ahead of time (peel the potatoes and have them cut up, soaking in cold water in the fridge). Plus a crock pot is good too. Don't try to make anything fancy, just stick to what you know. As for the kids, sometimes I'd plunk Jake in front of the TV while I got the chicken in the oven.

I have to warn you that while certain things change as the kids get older, the distractions are still there...in some ways it does get easier but in others not so much. <br /><br />My kids love to 'help' me cook so that's how I used to get it all done. Let them wash the potatoes in the sink while you quickly peel what you need type thing.....or call for take out!Betsy Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498274247502373134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-8007685484942411862009-07-24T10:22:37.817-04:002009-07-24T10:22:37.817-04:00I can relate--I believe the reasons you described ...I can relate--I believe the reasons you described are why someone created the slow cooker.

I took full advantage of all the gear. Baby gates to trap the older of the two into a safe area for him to play, while the younger one amused herself in her high chair. Not much of a secret, but it worked for me when they were younger. Now they know not to come anywhere near me when I'm cooking because of the stove, and if they want into the kitchen they must be seated at the table doing a craft or whatever. But then, I've had almost 3 years of practice wrangling two little people completely on my own. You get very good at it, so when people are around to help, its just a bonus!!Maria @BOREDmommyhttp://mommymaria.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-55917813751665998212009-07-24T00:46:34.973-04:002009-07-24T00:46:34.973-04:00Hey, that sounds familiar.
