The victims this time are the twins, luckily Joseph and hubby are both ok.
I'm not feeling 100% but on I plod!
When the twins are not very well it can be more tiring than when they are well.
They don't sleep as well as they normally do during nap time and I usually end up with one if not the pair of them snuggled up asleep on my knee.
So at the moment my days revolve around wiping snotty noses and giving lots of cuddles.
My Wednesday Words quote today is one of my favourite twin quotes, it is so true and a good one to remember when I am worn out at the end of the day.
Two Faces to wash, and four dirty hands,
Two insistent voices, making demands,
Twice as much crying, when things go wrong,
The four eyes closing, with slumber song,
Twice as many garments, blowing on the line,
Two cherubs in the waggon, soaking up sunshine,
Work I do for twins, naturally comes double,
But four arms to hug me, repay all my trouble

On the plus side, they should have got rid of their cold by the time Christmas comes and hopefully nobody else will get it!

One child with a cold is hard enough so I do not envy you! Fingers crossed all clear for Father Christmas's arrival though! #wednesdaywords
