Memorial Day Weekend

When you're watching three little boys who are one and a half, four, and five and a half for a long weekend make sure you:

a) know how to give a time out
b) can listen to hours of crying, whining, and yelling
c) always pack food if you leave the house
d) give each child the exact same amount as the other of ANYTHING
e) have them use the bathroom before you leave to go somewhere
f) start the process of bedtime a half hour to hour before
g) keep treats out of sight
h) don't get scratched dvds from the library
i) always have a sippy cup on hand
j) have Earl Grey tea, advil, and your anxiety medication
k) keep the annoying dog outside
