They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO overly wound up tonight. Driving me nuts. And of course they will be tomorrow also. I remember from when I was doing daycare before the week leading up to Christmas is always a nerve breaker also.
Thanksgiving shouldn't be bad here, since mom is a nurse and will be working. She asked me last night if I could keep the girls that day if their dad can't. I guess he told her the other day he has a court date and may be going away for 180 days.
I usually don't have them on weekends either but she now needs me for some of those also due to this. She is great, the girls are mostly great, so no biggie.... Except when they are wound to tight.
I don't get how trick or treat can be two days early officially. That's weird.
