Babysitter instructions

I haven't had much time to blog lately. We've been putting so much energy into the house, trying to get a lot of projects done before Mac's family arrives for Christmas. Mac especially has been working hard. In the past month we finished painting the entry hall (we started stripping wall paper the week before Liam was born; his surprise arrival put things a bit off course); we got new Silestone counters for Megan's bath, the family room and laundry room; we got a new laundry room floor; Megan's bath is being tiled this week; and new carpet goes in on Thursday. Since all this has sapped my creative juices, I am stealing a little something from Mac.

Tonight, Mac and I had an early dinner date mostly for the purpose of "test driving" a new babysitter, who is scheduled to watch the kids for a few late night holiday events. When we got home (Mac picked me up at work) these were his handwritten instructions for the babysitter. I thought it nicely sums up where our two kids are at.
