3 days with 3 kids...UPDATE 3
So tomorrow afternoon through Sat afternoon I will be watching my brother's 3 kids...ages 6, 9 & 11 so that he can take his wife away for a nice getaway in the city...if you don't hear from me after that time...send help! 
Actually they are really great kids...my bro & SIL have done a great job raising them right...but not looking forward to them getting up so darn early! haha
ETA: I will be driving them around in their mini-van
UPDATE 1: Day 1 over..kids & my sanity are still intact. Slurpies & pizza for dinner. Have to compliment my bro & SIL for raising such good kids!! Later I get to pick up my niece & 3 other kids from day camp..apparently they carpool..hope they all know where they live!
UPDATE 2: DH came out to visit with our dogs...we played badminton in the backyard in the blazing sun (yes, sunscreen was applied to all) Had the leftover pizza for lunch...then took the kids and dogs for a walk in the neighborhood...DH left, leaving one dog for the kids..the 11 yr old mowed the lawn..haha (his Dad's request) and the 9 yr old swept the driveway (we grew up doing chores and glad to see my brother is teaching his kids the same..i see so many kids who do nothing to help out). We had Chinese for dinner..played outside some more & everyone showered or bathed!
Day 3 is starting & i am up waaaaay to early for a Sat (especially since i don't have work!) I'm thinking a trip to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast once they start stirring. It wasn't even them who woke me up! Looking forward to watching a non-Disney channel tonite & sleeping in my own bed. But then we are off in a day to spend a week with DH' sis & family which includes 2 boys 6 & 12
UPDATE 3: HOME! We were all tired today...we had a "sleepover" in the den last nite...all four of us and my one dog. Picked up my bro & SIL around 1:30pm..must say they were thrilled to get away & i was happy to help them do it..filled them in and came home...now packing to go stay with DH's family...which includes two nephews age 6 & 12...can't wait to come home to our CF house
