Day 353
I took Robert to the doctors this morning, she took one look in his ear and went "OH DEAR", he has a bad ear infection poor kid and will now be taking antibiotics for 7 days. Its hard enough remembering them 4 times a day on normal days, we'll see how well I do over Christmas! He took one dose and found his appetite again, so that was good news!
Richard is also fúll of cold, but he wasn't too bad, just a runny nose. He said if he walks around it doesn't get too blocked so at one point I found him marching round the lounge, too cute!
This afternoon after tidying up a bit, I sat down for 15minutes before I was supposed to help out a friend and pick them up somewhere. Well Robert and Richard came down from upstairs and Robert says "Mummy, what time is it?" Oops it was 4.50pm I was supposed to be there at 4.45pm, I had dropped off. I am getting old! It wasn't too much of a problem, but a bit embarassing!
I have been knitting this evening, this is Robert's hat, the colours on this picture are right, it really is that bright!
CU tomorrow!

Day 352
Quick update on Robert, then off to bed.
His temperature was down today, not right down but a lot better than last night. And this evening he even had the energy to start arguing with Richard, so he must be on the mend.
We'll see how he is in the morning.
Richard has a sore throat and runny nose too this afternoon, so I hope he isn't going to get the fever to go with it.
(In case you were wondering, I'm fine! Touch wood!)
Other than tending my poorly boys, I did some tidying up, lots of washing and ironing, and this afternoon the boys and I sat down and watched a Christmas film together. We watched "Polar Express" - cute!
Off to bed now

Day 350 and Day 351
Too much TV yesterday stopped me from blogging, so its catch up time again!
Day 350 - Tuesday
I had to go to sport today without my friend, and today I did actually make it and not chicken out. We did a lot of work with weights today and it surprises me everytime, just how much I can lift and move nowadays - go me! (But I can feel all those muscles today!)
Back home I decided that I would make spaghetti bolognese for the boys, as Richard so wanted me too yesterday. Normally they love it, and Richard did, but poor Robert greeted me at the door in tears. He had a really really bad headache. I am such a horrible Mummy, cause all I said was, "oh dear, then why aren't you wearing your hat?" It must have been really bad, cause he only picked at his lunch. And by the time bedtime came around he was running quite a temperature.
I went to the hairdressers this afternoon and left the boys watching TV, they were going to watch a film, but they couldn't agree on one! Kids!
Day 351 - Wednesday
I was up for quite a bit of the night with Robert, his temperature was sky high, I decided somewhere around 2am, that I wouldn't be sending him to school today. I had hoped that he would maybe have a lay in, but come 7.15am he was downstairs with me. I wrapped him in a blanket and kept him quiet. His temperature didn't really come down all day, I did try "Wadenwickel" - the dictionary says that is a leg compress, it is supposed to bring the temperature down, And I made a potatoe scarf for him too, that went round his neck for his sore throat. He said that that helped.
I had to go out with Richard this evening, it was his Karate test for the next belt up, and I had promised to watch. With the amount of kids there it took forever, we didn't leave til 19.45pm. For that time, Robert went to Heike's and she watched over him for me. When I got him home and in bed, he had his highest temperature yet, lets hope it is down by the morning.
But back to Richard's test. here are a few pictures I took

Day 349
Why should the week be any less busy than the weekend! So first up on the agenda - a German test for Richard, "just" school for Robert and library for me!
From the library I went shopping, I got a few Christmas presents and food for the week. Tortellini today and Robert loved it, he had a double helping, I have a feeling I'll be buying new clothes soon, seems like a growth spurt!
Whilst out I also got new Christmas tree lights for the boys. But next year they'll be on our tree. They are electric candles, cute aren't they?!
The boys loved them, here they are posing with their tree, shame they couldn't find their smiles!

Day 348
We like rolling lots of days into one and today was no exception. It started about 8.30 am with breakfast, then Richard and I got busy practicing for his German test tomorrow. Then when Florian got up, we got the Christmas trees indoors. There was no time then to decorate as we had to go out, we had a date with Florian's sister and family at a very nice Cafe for brunch.
I grabbed this picture from my SIL's facebook. It's the hanging Christmas tree at the cafe.
After a very delicious brunch, we headed back home and had just enough time to finish decorating our tree.
Then it was time for our dance class. It's been three weeks since our last one and we were a bit rusty. But we soon got into it again and had a great time.
It was a good day, but as you can see, quite busy.

Day 347
I woke up at 9.38am - oops didn't really mean to sleep this long! Funny thing is as I woke up Florian was touching down in Frankfurt. Cause when I got downstairs I had had a WhatsApp message at 9.42 "The eagle has landed"!
Once through customs and baggage claim, Dad picked him up and took him back to them, where his repaired car was waiting for him! We didn't let him stay there long, as he had a busy day waiting for him here!
After lunch back home, it was off out to get our Xmas tree. Florian's car had a few surprises in store for us before we could leave however. We got in and Richard goes, I can't do my seatbelt up. When we looked, he wasn't being awkward, the buckle had gone back into the where the belt is all rolled up! Grrrr! Florian managed to get it out. But when he was putting the tool he used away the boys and I got in the car, and then Robert goes "My door won't shut" and yep, every time you slammed the door it bounced back open! AGH!!! Luckily when Florian was back near the car with the key, it decided to play nice again, and we could go and get the Xmas tree!
Here a few shots of our rainy outing. Its much nicer in the snow or dry, BUT as we were late going it was good that it had been raining, cause other people had not been chopping down all the best trees and we got "TWO" good ones! The boys are having their own in their bedroom this year! Here some pictures!
Once home from getting the trees, it was off out to Marcel's birthday party. It was a lovely afternoon, although I did feel a bit sorry for Florian who would have probably loved a bit of a rest. We got home at just after 9pm and both the boys and Florian went to bed!
And I am off now
