<p>So, fast-forward to early September. My little H noticed some Halloween costumes in Target and asked what he would be for Halloween. I told him it was up to him. Shockingly (no, not at all shockingly), he asked if he could be an excavator. I told him I didn&#8217;t think I could make that, to which he replied &#8220;Why? You made a bulldozer. An excavator can&#8217;t be that much harder.&#8221; Touche, kiddo! I knew I could do it.</p>

And so, when Victory Monday rolls around, my fridge is stacked like the Packers' offensive line. What to do with all that extra food?

Whether you have two or seven, anything more than one child makes all the sound parenting advice from well-meaning grocery store ladies seem downright comical.

These days, however, my kids get excited about dinner because I let them (somewhat) call the shots. In honor of National Family Dinner Month, we sat down with our calendar a few weeks ago, and they helped me sketch out a weeknight meal plan for September.
