Kids

[Miss_Sara]

ok so my moms friend is in the hospital, so I will be taking care of her 2 kids
I thinkt hey're like 7-10
a boy and a girl
and I'll still have them at Halloween time
and they haven't gotten costumes yet
It's been a while since I was an 8 year old trick or treating

so give me some tips on how to make this more fun for them?
they said they wanted to go with me and not their friends
so I know my area, and it's really safe
but I don't know where I could even get them costumes!
walmart??
do they have any left?

also these kids have some mental issues
so how do I handle taking care of them by not becoming mean
when they don't listen
their behavioural issues aren't their fault
but I really don't know how I would handle a child being defiant and not knowing how not to be, it's different when a child should have a time out.

also, I have a ton of school work and I already decided I'm not going to be working a lot while I have them because It'll be quite impossible to finish everything, and they live about half an hour away
so I'll have to wake them up really early for school
and some nights I'll stay over at their house.

help?
