Quick Opinion Needed

I am home with three children ages, 5.5, 7.4 and 8.9. They are all engaged in doing something, elder two watch TV younger one upstairs playing.

I need some eggs from the shop for lunch. The shop is about 100 yards away, about 40 seconds walk. Should I just nip out on my own and get the eggs or do I try to gather them all up, get shoes coats etc on them, stop them doing what they're doing and make them all come with me?

Opinions please

Anyone?

I could have been to the shop and come back already, should I leave them all?

Of course go! You will be what, 5 minutes? You could be on the loo for that time...

I'd say you're fine, especially if you trust the eldest should that 0.001% chance of something happening. But yes, you could be in the shower for that length of time easily!
