So I simply sent the following to W:

"Oh hey, yeah...

I wanted to check on the kids and whether they had plans or were available.

So Wednesday, I would hope I could come get them around 4pm and I'd bring them back by 9pm, since it's a school night. As far as FS16... sure, he's welcome to come along. Unfortunately he won't be able to have (his favorite food)... :-)

As far as the weekend goes, I know we have to work this out yet, but I was hoping that since I wasn't able to see them this past weekend, that I could have them Friday to Sunday. Then D8 mentioned there was no school on Monday but she also mentioned that birthday party. If it would be alright, I would like to have them until Monday. I could pick D8 up after her b-day party on Saturday.

So if that would be OK with you, that would be fantastic!

Thanks,

Me
