Help with 6 Year Old in the AM

We need any suggestions to get our 6 year old boy to follow his morning routine. He has ADHD and is on meds for it. He sleeps all night and has no problem getting up. But to get him to get dressed and eat then brush his hair and teeth has become a battle. A losing one at that. We have him pick his cereal so we are not forcing him to eat what we chose. I have a chart with the morning routine and times. He has a digital clock so that he can match up the times with the chart. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How Do You Ring in the New Year with Young Kids?

I know that there are some fun things in our area, like a noon countdown at the children's museum with bubble play, but I am not up for taking all 3 kids there by myself, and hubby's working 1/2 a day today. So, most likely we'll stay in tonight. I don't think NYE is a HUGE deal, but my parents always did do something special for us (appetizers and movies), so I want to do at least something different for the kids. How do I still make is memorable for my kids? Ages are (almost) 6, 3.5 and just under 2.
