Yikes! I get anxiety when we're going to have our 6 yo niece and 3 yo nephew for the weekend! You're a very, very brave woman!
Good luck!
DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

Wow Dr PJ. If there's anyone that can do it, it's you.
One word of advice, save all that hard liquor that everyone is sending your way for afterwards. You are going to need your wits about you.

I vote for renting a bouncy house for the week. loads of fun, wears them out (minus the wee one), and can be used as a hideout when you run out of benydryl* .
*kidding! but the bottle CAN be used to jam under a door to keep them out, or in... depending on your needs

You can do this... really!! Besides the older ones can help with the younger ones...
Just watch a few episodes of the Duggers (19 Kids and Counting) on TLC for some pointers!!
If I can herd cats (Teenagers with behavior and emotional problems) all day every day... you can do this!! Piece of cake! *maybe give them lots of cake w/mild sedatives baked in too*
