Yer fine

Dear Emily,

I want to thank you for being willing to keep my kids while we're away. I'm sure all parties involved will enjoy themselves. Here are a few tips about the routine that will be helpful.
  1. Natalie hates going to bed and hates getting up in the morning. She makes our other little sister look like a lamb when it comes to sleeping/waking manners, so, good luck with that.
  2. Natalie hates to have her hair combed in the morning and puts extra drama into the event.
  3. Kendall likes to stay in her jammies all day and will resist the idea of structure, such as getting ready for preschool, so, good luck with that. She is also very particular about what she likes to eat.
  4. Nick is into screaming. Not crying-screaming, but just general screaming. I think with two sisters who talk non-stop, he just feels like he needs an edge to keep himself in the game, so good luck with that.
  5. There's liquor in the pantry and Tylenol in the cupboard, so feel free to put the kids to bed by 8:00 p.m. and settle in for a nice evening of TV. But, oh ya, we don't have a lot of channels, so I recommend QVC or TBN for the best quality entertainment.

The girls are really looking forward to your visit and have already expressed an interest in learning new, silly Emily tricks, stories and sayings, so keep it clean, but don't let them down.

Love, Jenny

thank you for the tips, and for the added anxiety.
