We Were Warned!

The frost had lifted off the ground. The kids were at school, I was at work and Ginny (clever girl that she is) called in the nanny to help look after the twins Europa and Cosmo.

Ginny managed to put Europa to bed and was about to check in on Cosmo, when suddenly, she put Cosmo on the floor and went into dramatic labour.




At first, she looked uncomfortable and a little distressed.

But then, without warning, the contractions started.....


Much to the horror and shock of some poor passerby who could only gasp and leap about, feeling useless.

I can't imagine the profanities that would be coming from poor Ginny's mouth.

They'd probably be something like this....




"Don't just stand there screaming you big cissy! I'm in bloody labour here.... surely you'd be able to do SOMETHING!!!!"

Then.....

... it....

.... happened.....

We WERE warned.

TWINS!!!!

AGAIN!!!!!

Oh joy (horror of horrors, god help me, I'm leaving home now I swear)

So...... welcome to our crazy world....

Thomas


and

Susan




It was such a shock to even the poor nanny as she almost fainted when she saw Ginny stood outside cradling Susan, who actually looks pretty intelligent. She recognised Mommy straight away.



Hey missus, that's what we employed you for... looking after babies.... you came with a glowing reference, so it's about time you were put to the test. Just to see how good you really are. Especially now that we have four hungry babies to look after.

You know what this means now?
The house is definitely too small for our HUGE family.

So I guess the next step for us is to move out and into somewhere more suitable... until Helen goes to college.

*sigh*

They grow up so fast. I don't really want her to fly the coop, but sometimes you've just got to let them go.

Well, I'll be on my way home soon to survey the devastation that are our two sets of twins.

Wish me luck....
