2 up, 2 down

2 adults still down sick that is, and 2 little boys practically throbbing with health, vigour, energy and the desire to GO OUT AND DO STUFF. It's alright for Chris, who gets to laze around in the office then stroll into the house dispensing compliments re bead necklaces and faecal accomplishments, but I am the poor sod who must deliver an activity that sucks energy faster than they can produce it.....Luckily today was a playcentre day (after an abysmal night- thanks Kieran!) so they played, cavorted, painted, slid, made bead necklaces, did collage, ripped into playdough and then ran/crawled like maniacs through the sandpit. Suffice it to say that I walked through the door at 12:30, prepped C's bottle, got all of us into the shower and then we all went to bed at 12:45 and slept for 2 and half hours this afternoon. After that I bolted out in the car to buy a fortnights worth of nappies for C, and night time nappies for K, got some pre-reading gear, got some car stickers for the cupboard door and staggered back home, knackered. K pleaded with me to come and help him in the toilet after we got home. He was still in his pullup nappy (as he had had a nap), and I was thrilled when he produced both a wee and a poo. He was thrilled too. Obviously ice cream is the carrot du jour for my little donkey. We ordered Hell's Pizza for dinner - first time in 6 or 8 months! and K did the most gambolic little pizza dance when Chris opened the door to the delivery man :)
