Lisa Wachter: Kitchen disaster area

Still over a week to go until the Halloween party, and our house is a mess already. The kitchen and dining room is filled with ingredients for making candies and cookies. We hardly have room to prepare our own meals and eat them. We had mostly leftovers yesterday because I didn't want to deal with trying to find space to cut and cook. Dan said that we should eat out for the next ten days! Of course, the kids are all excited about that, but we'll see.
