[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need some inspiration. DD has to arrive at her game by 5:15 (leave house by 5pm) - it begins at 6pm and isn’t over until 8pm (softball), home around 8:15. DH is one of the coaches and I also like to attend the games.

It feels too early to eat at 4:30pm and we end up just getting Chick-fil-A or pizza at 8pm which is getting old.

What do others do? Any ideas?[/quote]

I have one kid who has a similar schedule 4 days a week, and another who practices right after school, and then sometimes goes out again for a second activity.

They just eat dinner twice.  The first meal they fix for themselves when they walk in the door.  I keep a bunch of things in the fridge that can be thrown on a plate or bowl, and maybe heated up.  Then when the last kid comes home from the last practice or activity or game, we sit together and eat another meal.

I try to make a lot of things that either can sit in the crockpot or the fridge, or that I can freeze and pull out later.  [/quote]
