Invite 2 small girls, three and two, for a weekend to give their weary parents a total break.
Remove 1 adult male to a safe distance of 600 miles for most of the weekend.
Disable another 1 adult aunt with a sinus infection and the responsibility of yet 1 more small child.
Stir in trips to the playscape, the library, the grocery store.
Read at least 20 books. Out loud.
Put small girls in unfamiliar beds.
Add 2 curious cats.
Fold in 1,000,000 unanswerable “Why’s”
Toss in baths, hair washes, drinks.
Mix well and bake for 36 hours.
And the amazing thing is we actually made it to church on time and home for the Sunday gathering. The parents, looking very rested, then took the wiggly bodies home.
Now for a long nap!
