And on the fourth day..

there was snot.  No kidding!  Out came the special drops, and it looks like we managed to kill the worst of the bugs, thank goodness.  I realised with a shock I hadn’t given them any vites the entire time hubby was gone as it is normally his ‘job’.

It was touch and go this morning as we all had cabin fever, but instead of shouting I politely dressed them all warmly and we all went for a walk.  They were very confused as I said “Kom ons gaan stap ‘n entjie” and they heard “Kom ons gaan na die eendjies toe” (let’s go to the ducks). After much negotiation and promises of all kinds of wonderful snacks and drinks and expensive gifts we managed to walk around the block and everyone was happy.  And calm.  Ish.

But, we survived the morning and hubby arrived at around lunchtime, just after the girls went down for their nap.  I greeted him passionately, made vague promises, and ran off to have a nap.

We are all really happy he’s home and looking forward to a short week.  It’s going to be a hectic one.

Here is a pic of the girls, I have no idea what they were doing, but they play like this a lot, in their own little world.  It’s really amazing to watch and at least their poor brother gets a break and can build a puzzle in peace.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Women’s Day and you were spoilt rotten!

  1. Yay for you for surviving the weekend on your own with the children! Hope you enjoyed your well-deserved nap.

  2. That is such a sweet pic. Well done on surviving the past 4 days. I take my hat off to you. Seriously..x

  3. Lovely pic! I love when they play in their own imaginary world!
    Glad the snots were sorted ASAP! I think it’s the snots that cause all the other problems, so it’s like the battle is won when the snot is gone 😀

    Also glad your hubby is home 🙂 Enjoy him!
