I don’t know about you, but I remember four very active children all trying to get ready for school in one bathroom.   Although I now look back on these times as “fun”, back then I just tried to keep the peace, make sure teeth were brushed, hair combed, and clothes that matched before they left the door.   I also tried to get them to eat a good breakfast, but soon learned that cereal of any type never got ate.  The store bought “breakfast bars” were not only expensive for me as one of my boys would eat the whole box in one day, but not as nutritious as I felt was necessary.
