Drawing the Short Straw

or

Taming the Feral Children


or

Herding Grasshoppers


We watched my brother's children last night. That's a 3 year old and a 2 year old in addition to our own (4, 3, and 1). A little crazy. But 90% of them slept 90% of the time, so it worked out. We ran them ragged, hosed them off, threw them in bed, fed them breakfast and viola, it was time to go!

We did have a problem getting Cora to go to bed (her last trip downstairs was about 2am). Kelby got up at 6am, rifled through our cabinets, found some fruit snacks, and was ready to start his day. But Shannon did a fantastic job; she's nearly unflappable.
