Anyone want to help a mom out???

(Audrey giving me Mother's day flowers)

I know many, actually most of you don't live close by, but I've decided this is the best way to get the word out. I need some help in July. I've been trying to think of who to call, but I think asking this way won't put people on the spot and make them feel obligated to say yes. And it's a good excuse for me to see friends before we move. German will be driving our stuff to Texas and then he will be flying back to get us, so we can all fly together. I will be alone in our empty duplex with the three kiddos for about 5-6 days.

Sooo, I was wondering if during those 5-6 days while German is gone, anyone would be able to come over here to care for and entertain the girls during the day while I'm with our 1-2 week old baby trying to recover/rest. Since I won't have a car or carseats I won't be able to bring them anywhere, but we do have a nice fenced backyard and I will provide snacks.

My mom and my sister are going to help me as much as they can, but my mom has some health and back problems and my sister has her own newborn to care for. I will do fine at night and breakfast time, I mostly need help with the girls from 8am-12pm (playtime, diapers, preparing lunch and getting them down for their nap). And again after their two hour nap from 3pm-7pm (more playtime, dinner and bedtime routine).

I thought it might be easy to do two hour shifts because after two hours someone may feel the need to strangle one of my crazy girls. If any of you can help me from 8am-10am, 10am-12pm, 3pm-5pm or 5pm-7pm just email me and let me know. The tentative days will be from Wednesday, July 22nd to Monday, July 27th.

I know it may be too early for alot of you to plan, but I'm kind of a freak in the planning ahead department, so I decided to post this now. If you think you might be able to help just email me or comment. Hopefully, I'll get some responses and then next month when I know the exact days, I'll email out a calendar with the times I still need some help.

Here's a video of the girls playing in the backyard. Aren't they so cute??? Don't you want to change their poopy diapers while they kick and scream??? It is so much fun...

Also, we need to find someone who can lend us toddler carseats, so we can drive to the airport. We will be packing ours in the moving truck. I already have two infant seats and one is staying with me for the baby to use and one is going in the moving truck, so we just need two toddler seats for the girls. I thought of flying with ours, but they are just too big and bulky. If you have one we could use for a day, please email me. I'll make sure they get back to you. We haven't purchased our plane tickets yet, but we would need the carseats on either Monday, July 27th or Tuesday, July 28th.

Thanks in advance!!! I will love you forever!!! (Even if you can't help, I still love you...)

P.S. We found a great duplex to rent and just signed the lease today! Yahoo for checking things off the list. The one next door is also available, anyone want to move in and be our neighbors??? Anyone??? ANYONE???
