dUSt Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 ...out of town, until Sunday night. That means that it's just me and the kids for 5 days. Please pray that we all survive this ordeal.
dUSt Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 Does anyone have any advice on how I can get them to leave me alone and entertain themselves for as long as possible? What should I feed them? How often? I've never had to do this before.
qfnol31 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Send them outside to play or watch a movie (not too much).

Your wife didn't give you a complete list of instructions? Do your kids like take out?
dUSt Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 Well, my plan is to go to Blockbuster tonight and rent about 15 movies and 2-3 Playstation games. I'll also go to the store and buy about 20 of those Lunchable things. All the food in my house requires some type of preparation. So it's either the Lunchables or Dominoes every night... Of course, the boy likes to eat soft things... I'm scared.
dUSt Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Jul 20 2005, 05:11 PM']How old are they? [right][snapback]651600[/snapback][/right][/quote] The girl is seven I think, and the boy is about knee high.

It'll save you tons, especially since it's Wednesday!

This was an episode on the Outer Limits I think. Or maybe Alfred Hitchcock wrote about it. My advice. Hide the duct tape. Better yet, make good use of it before they do. You have my prayers.

Oik Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 What!!!!!! Your girl is seven, you think! You dork! May God have mercy on you soul!
dUSt Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 I'm comforted by the fact that the girl usually knows what to do with the boy. She's been able to answer most of my questions so far... of course, she rolls her eyes at me quite often.

AHHHHHHH! :bugeyes: Edited July 20, 2005 by thessalonian
cmotherofpirl Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Peanut butter and jelly is easy, and they also make mac and coagulated milk that cooks in 90 seconds in the microwave. Remember to bathe them once a day.
qfnol31 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) ^ That was for dUSt. I give up. Edited July 20, 2005 by qfnol31

Especially when the wife is home.
