still poorly

Yep, Robert woke up this morning with his temperature still way too high. So Robert and I stayed at home cosy in front of the TV (about the only thing that would stop his whimpering, poor thing) and Florian and Richard went to our breakfast date. We told Richard that he was just getting the bread with Daddy, as he wouldn't have wanted to go on his own. I actually thought they would be back quite soon, cause of the fact that Robert wasn't there, but he quite enjoyed himself I think and they got back in time for lunch. By which time, Robert's temperature was nearly normal and he was almost his normal self (just a bit pale). Unfortunately this afternoon it shot right back up again. So again he is dosed up and hopefully sleeping now.

We did have some fun this afternoon though, we baked "Plätzchen" (German cookies). What a feat! Luckily I didn't dish out all the dough, cause they were not letting ANYONE help them, so the dough was rolling out too thin, sticking to the rolling sheet, and when they tried to get it off to put on the baking tray it was coming off in tiny pieces. A real mess. Eventually we were allowed to roll it out for them, they cut the shapes and I put them on the baking tray. It didn't last for long though and Richard particularly wanted to do it all on his own again. So mean Mummy that I am, once the first batch was in the oven, I sent them off with Daddy, and finished up the baking with out the little helpers!

here are a few of the pictures Florian took!

The first ones of the boys going it alone!
Then we have one of the so-called cookies NOT! Had to redo that lot!
