family von Trapp

Hi, still under house arrest as Twin 2's spots are still a bit puss-y and not yet scabby, which is apparently the criterion to determine infectiousness. Luckily she's blissfully unaware of quite how revolting she looks, and is still swanning around like a wobbly princess. So it's been a pretty uneventful day. I did manage to persuade the kids to put on a 'show' for me this afternoon, mainly because I was feeling lazy and it was a chance to sit around drinking coffee as the 'audience'. Son gave himself the job of 'creative director', a thankless task when working with his sisters. You know that saying, 'never work with animals or children'? Well Twins 1 & 2 are kind of animal-child hybrids (Hubby calls them 'the jackals'), so the production was pretty much doomed to failure. In any case, the creative direction seemed to consist mainly of exhorting the actors to fight each other. We are almost turning into the family von Trapp. Except without the talent. Still, I enjoyed a nice sit down and a lovely cup of coffee. 

Really hoping that Twin 2 is totally scabby tomorrow, otherwise I might have to fabricate some essential supermarket shopping, just to escape.

Twin 1 still looking in tip top health so it looks like the scary trek will go ahead...
