Sleeping chilren

Yesterday evening kind of went down hill with children, colds, coughs and temperatures.  At one point, the youngest was over 40 degrees and it was pretty clear that he was going no-where today.  So we were into the 'who stay's at home' chat.  The deal was that the husband would go to an early morning meeting he needed to be at, come home and I would go straight to work.  My turn to be away from work next time... which is tomorrow!  This time, it's the childminder, who this evening messaged to say she is poorly.  I think I could scream, maybe cry, maybe both.  Topic of dinner time conversation has been childcare, funnily enough.... and the idea of an au-pair received to a warmer response than normal.  

The boys of the house had a pretty good day - they went out on an errand this afternoon, totally failed to achieve whatever it was they had to do, as the boys were fast asleep pretty soon after getting into the car - picture is courtesy of the husband. They're both much, much better this evening and should be absolutely fine tomorrow.
