Stay at home with them. I'm going to send some child-care candidates over, but I suggest you be a steady presence if possible. You hire someone you let them deal with the clothes and the groceries, you stay with the kids so they don't think you disappeared. Just my opinion.
There are three good elementary schools in your area, one is better but a little farther away. If you have dependable transportation, we'll get them in that one. Has Ernest been to preschool or is kindergarten going to be a shock?
