People to Cook For

2 Adults, 3 Kids

Favorite Meals or Restaurants

The boys love Pasta and soup. Spicy foods like chili are the only thing they shy away from, but will eat it if mild enough. Hunter has mouth sores often and spicy food hurts them. They all love a good Hot Dish, and simple meals are perfect too for something fast like pizza.

Least Favorite Meals

Anything too spicy .

Child Care Instructions

CHILD CARE: Ian is in honors choir and has a few performances BOTH mom and dad need to attend. Hunter will not be up to going and setting through it. He may be at home or the hospital ( St. Mary's). Someone to set with him, play a game if he is up to it. Read a book, or watch TV with him until concert is over. Usually 2- 3 hours is all. 12/4 Concert need: 2:15pm-4:30pm 12/18 Wedding Anniversary: lunch or dinner out- someone to set with all three boys 2 hours. 2/4- dinner out for my birthday with Steve. Maybe a movie too, if kids are ok and up to it.

Communication Instructions

COMMUNICATION: Just a note that Hunter has Chemo these days. We have no need, but it is when he is scheduled for Chemo and will (likely) be in hospital. Helps to know when he could use visitors the MOST, when he is in hospital.

Service Instructions

SNOW REMOVAL: Clearly this isn't really a daily need, even here in Minna-snow-ta! But help with this is very much appreciated. Just looking for someone to shovel the sidewalk, front door and driveway for snowfalls of a scoopable amount. We have snow shovels we can leave out on the side of the house and an electric snow thrower for larger, heavy snowfalls.
