When they wake up could you bundle them into their buggy and go for a run pushing the buggy perhaps? If not, the weather forecast looks good for tomorrow too!

Tomorrow is better .. I can only just propel myself along, let alone an extra 4st and a double buggy :/

Ha, yes I'd be the same. As mine are now 29 and 26 it's no longer a problem I have!

A few years ago when we were in California I watched a young woman on the beach sidewalk. She was roller- skating, pushing a three wheel pushchair with 2 children in (at speed!), walking the dog on his lead, and talking on her phone! I was amazed, true multi-skilling,

You just need the skates to give it a go RobD teehee😂

And a buggy you can run with ! Apparently there are specific ones to run with, for the runner & passenger benefit ! :)

There are quite a few at my local Parkrun. Never seen anyone with a double though.

When my younger boy was small my neighbour asked me to look after her daughter, a year younger, for the day and loaned me their double buggy. Just about killed me pushing my lightweight son and that truly massive girl.

Your two year olds sleep?!?!? Mine doesn't... or very rarely when she's at home during the day!
