Ready for the Storm

I probably won't be blogging much this week, because I'll be taking care of 5 children ages 5 and under. My sister is going on a 10-year anniversary trip, so I'm watching her 2 boys. I've been doing everything I can to prepare for their arrival tonight:

• Prepared and frozen PBJs for the boys (more on that later)
• Set up the pack-n-play in our closet (more like a small room) for the baby
• Installed blinds in our closet, so the baby doesn't wake up at dawn
• Put away toys that cause a really big mess
• Set up the inflatable sleeping bag for one nephew
• Stocked up on groceries for the week
• Prepared guest room for my mom, who will be helping me for part of the week
• Outlined a menu of simple and healthy meals
• Finished laundry for the weekend (though the bins will be full again by tomorrow!)

Still left to do:

• Childproof the room where my nephews will be sleeping (It's already childproofed in the basic sense of the word, but my oldest nephew likes to explore every nook and cranny!)
• Lower the crib rails, so my youngest nephew can borrow the babies crib
• Welcome them into our home. :)

Pray for my energy and strength. Pray that the kids will be healthy and have happy hearts. Pray that we would make memories and have a great time together!
