When We're helping we're happy (right?)

I always debate whether or not to let the kids "help" with the things I need to do - like making dinner.

Sometimes I really can't because of time but most often I have the choice.

The results vary:

1. disastrous
2. a little messier
3. takes more time
4. happy kids
5. frustrated mom (and then kids)
6. overcooked veggies (eww)
7. a few more germs to share

Or some combination of the above. This happened to be a time when we all had a good time together and I was glad I made the choice to let the kids be my helpers.
