dumplings!!!!   The work will be there, my kids won't!!!  I cherish these times.  I just loved your post.  I am in a position now that my children are independent (1st grade and 6th grade) with few questions - but I always stop to smile at them and answer questions.  It is not fair to a child that requires attention to say "I'm working".  If you worked away from home, you would find a sitter.
