Are there any other inventions I should know about?
Also, if anyone needs overnight childcare so that they can attend the evening Valentine's Ball, I'd like to offer to help. We're staying in a hotel here, and I think for this purpose I'll set up one big room for the boys and another for the girls, with me sleeping in an adjacent room in-between so that I'll wake if anyone needs me. It's probably best that I don't take anyone under five or so, because they'll need more individual attention than I can give, but if you've got an older child who won't mind sharing with others, I'd be happy to have them stay over for supper and sleep.
