5. Good Luck.
:)

Sounds like it could be fun. Kids at that age can be a real challenge, but they're also really amazing and adorable too.

I used to love babysitting all my friend's kids when I could physically handle it. I'd often move into my friend Jen's home for the weekend to watch her two boys from Friday evening through Sunday so she could get stuff done and have a social life too. Babysitting is one of the things I really miss. :(

19. I can see the value of giving the kids Valium
but how does the duct tape help her?

8. UPDATE: Invading forces spotted!


(left to right, OktoberKid, his friend Gavin, my nephew Issach, and my nephew Charlie)

They're currently arguing about who has the biggest toy tractor. Boys. Pffft.

10. Coffee!
Unlike adults, coffee makes little kids drowsy and puts them to sleep. So start brewing :)

And good luck, 4 is a lot to deal with.

Khash.

18. Eeeeeeeviler than you think
Don't get me started on my "The Use Of Cattleprods On Kids" rant :)

They are very effective! But the coffee option is probably the kinder option.

Sorry, I raised two kids. And I am soooooo over it.

Khash.

13. I agree. I've distracted them so far by sending them outside
with ThinkBlue1966 and a squishy Nerf football. They are currently attempting to annihilate her.

HALP. *gulp*

17. don't tell them the trick
about wetting globs of toilet paper and throwing it on the ceiling of your bathroom. (yes, actual incident in my house when my sons had friends over one time... and of course they were too small to use them as mops to get it all off.)
