Hoping they dont catch it

As usually happens this time of year, daddy caught a cold. At it just came on Thursday, and Friday Lisa has to work so the babies are home alone with daddy. So we're hoping they do not catch it. Daddy is doing his best to wash his hands before doing anything with them, so hopefully that will help.
On Saturday Peggy and Diane are coming over to babysit, while mommy, daddy, and mommy's coworker Shawn go to the Apple Harvest Festival in Arendtsville, PA. (www.appleharvest.com)
UPDATE (2006-09-08):
Well, things did not go according to plan. Diane called us in the morning. Bob had a medical emergency, and she had to take care of him. Then ten minutes later, Shawn calls us. She had a strong headache and didnt want to go. So Lisa calls Peggy. We did not expect Peggy to watch the babies all by herself. So after Lisa and Peggy discussed the situation, Peggy suggested that her and Lisa could go if Jim didn't mind staying home with the kids. So that is how it played out. Since Lisa does not get paid when she doesn't work, and it takes alot of advanced notice for her to take time off, it didnt make any sense for Lisa to miss out after going through the trouble of scheduling the time off.
The funny thing was, they spotted two other sets of triplets at the festival! It was too cold to even think about our babies going. They probably wont even go next year. But maybe by 2008 they'll be at an age where we would take them.
