Christmas and New Year

Well where to start

This year was the first year we didn't spend lunch at Mums I was really funny about it call me attached but I love my big Christmas lunches at mums. But this year Adrian's sister in law and brother invited us to their house for lunch so this will be the first time we have spent Christmas day with his family. So being the good wife I was I made the sacrifice and decided that Adrian needed to spend it with his family. I was really nervous going there as we hadn't seen them in a year (yes his family isn't that close) and Paula's (Adrian's sis in law) family would be there too. But it turned out to be great we were even late for the Park cos we were there for so long we lost track of time. The kids loved it and I enjoyed spending time with his family its something that really should be done more often. So in 2009 I'm going to make it my goal that we spend more time with his family. After lunch we went to the park like always and spent time with Mums side it was nice just sitting down and sorta relaxing. Jeremiah got a toy lawn mower and spent the rest of the time mowing the grass at the park he loved it. There was a little boy that kept trying to take it off him tho but Jeremiah was not giving up his toy it even got to the stage where Juliet stepped in and told the little boy off which resulted in him hitting Juliet but having big brothers taught her to be tough and she hit the kid back. Then we went back to mums so the kids could open their presents from the aunties and uncles. Poor Ruth got a great present but didn't realise that because it was a big one that was it. But we managed to make her happy. By the end of the night I had enough all I wanted to do was go home and crash I was so tired.

thanks guys he loves it :P

and uncles she loves this too so thanks

The next day we went to Mums for lunch cos she loves me and cos I was so upset we missed out on Christmas lunch she made it for us the day after. It was really nice and we ate it out the back on the deck. For the record Adrian was holding the water over Sarah's head i kinda just helped it along. So of course I got water tipped on me which was nice as it was hot out there and I wasn't going inside Charlie had done a poo and they had no nappies so it stunk out downstairs plus it was quieter outside cos all the kids were inside. After lunch I had a little time to rest before having to go to the Slug and Lettuce for Marie's birthday it was a nice night out and then they all came back to my place and all us girls chatted about stuff.

The next few days were spent recovering from the big two days it took me longer than I thought to recover but I guess that's because I was 30 weeks pregnant :P

New Years EVE

Well this was interesting I knew it would be a big night so I spent the day not doing allot to make sure I could have fun. Marie came to my place and we drove to Yvonne's and Luke's well I didn't exactly have the time of my life the whole night I was getting Braxton Hicks and who ever said they weren't pain full doesn't know anything. I was getting them all night so much for celebrating the New Year oh well the kids had a ball and it wasn't toooo bad. I think next year I wanna make it better might have something at my place.

Well that's about it for Christmas and the New Year

Love you
Ruth

Santa

This year is the first year Ruth has actually gone next to Santa. He scares her but this year she had a present she really wanted to ask for. She wont get it as its a Nintendo DS and it is way to old of the little girl. But I think it was cute that she wanted it so much that she faced her fear just to ask for it. So this year I took the opportunity to take advantage of the fact this is the first year I have two kids with Santa so I got a photo. Santa doesn't look tooo crash hot but the kids look good and that's all that matters to me hehehe.

12 Days of Christmas

This year we have had someone doing the 12 Days of Christmas for us.

I have been very quiet about it trying to sus out the ppl doing it but so far have had no luck.

For those of you not aware of the 12 Days of Christmas what happens is someone anonymous drops presents off on the door step every night or morning. It starts 12 days before Christmas and the presents usually involve the number of things for the day as you will see in my photos. I did it one year for a friend it is great such a good feeling to Christmas and brings in what Christmas is all about. I am big on that this year I'm loving all the giving ppl are doing its fantastic. I got snow maned on Sunday as well that was cool I didn't know what that was till I got done. Snow maning is you leave a gift with a piece of paper on someones doorstep and on the back of the piece of paper is instructions for you if you choose to snowman 3 more ppl and so on so if everyone did it it would be like pay it forward how cool is that. So now the kids get to get involved and learn the real meaning of Christmas.

First week of school holidays hospital visit and more

Hay all what a week it has been and its gone fast too
I started off the school holidays not feeling well which is nothing out of the ordinary for pregnant me so the poor kids didn't get to do much for their first day as little Souvlaki decided to positon its self head down so I could barely walk without pain.
I still managed and we made Truffles on the Monday can any of you Pilkington kids remember the truffles with the weetbix I used to love them and they are still not bad.
On Tuesday we had Jeremiahs day care Christmas party that was loads of fun sitting on my own why the kids went of and played Jeremiahs friend Kyle (aka Kyled) was there that was the first time Jeremiah has seen him in weeks so that was it he was off. At some stage so was his pants I looked over and there he was pant less running around playing I was so not impressed shoes are one thing but pants. I put them back on him but it didnt take long for him to take them off yet again. Then Santa went to visit and I got this really cute calender with a photo of Jeremiah wearing a Santa beard it was so cute. I was so glad to go home and get the kids into bed ahhhhh peace at last.
By Wednesday I was wondering where my sleep ins were I now could sleep in cos there was no School but for some reason my body kept waking up in time to take Ruth to school (which it never did when I actually had to take her). By about 10 I remembered I had a hospital appointment for baby at 10:35 so I rushed around and got ready I got there only 5 Min's late I was impressed. I had to wait another 30 Min's to be seen which as always loads of fun but I got it over and done with and don't have to go back for 4 weeks Yay. I was supposed to go back in 2-3 but the lady that makes the appointment isn't that smart I think.
Thursday was going to be a relaxing day but I decided I wanted new cupboards for the playroom the ones that you stick the coloured boxes in. It was Adrian's day off and he was going to fix our power window in the car and go shopping for me but I felt like we hadn't spent time together in ages so I wanted to spend time with him that day not off on his own. That is so not like me usually I'm happy for us to do our own thing but I guess every so often its nice to spend time together. Mind you he is not the best person to shop with he always wants to spend money. We got some more lights for the front he seems to really be into putting lights up so we got some more for him as they were half price. Then we went to Bunny's (aka Bunnings ) for a new fan for Ruth's room as hers was broken. On the way out I managed to do a typical Ruth while pregnant and slipped on some water lucky I had the trolley in front of me to brace myself but I still hurt myself just not as bad as I could've.
Friday I spent the day relaxing as I was very sore from falling over. I really hate not being able to do things it drives me insane but what can you do when its better for you and baby not to do to much. But I have to say I did manage to do the playroom it took me 4 hours to get thru it but I did get it done.
Saturday was spent finishing the playroom and cleaning the rest of the house trying to get everything ready for Christmas day. I was still a little sore so I took it easy and did get most of it done.
Sunday was Adrian's day off so he tried fixing the power window in the car but needed a part so he had to temp fix it till Monday. He also went shopping for my Christmas present and the kids went to church with mum. My house was all clean and I had nothing to do so I fell asleep it was good just to relax except before I fell asleep I was thinking no Adrian no kids I can have a relaxing shower. When I got out I checked the time and I was only in there for like 9 mins which is the time it usually takes me when I wash my hair.
Today is Monday and I'm officially 30 weeks pregnant YAY only 10 more weeks to go hopefully if the baby comes out when it should. Souvlaki is kicking and playing around allot I think I have drooped already which I think is a good sign oh and the hiccups they get to be so annoying and Souvlaki will get it at least 2 times a day.

Well thats it form me for now
There will be more tomorrow
Love you all
Mwah Ruth

Ruths school concert Class party and End of term

Well this week was a bit more adventfull

I had to put this photo in I think its so cute and

if that peanut butter was pizza he would look like

a bloke

Monday I spent the day cleanning lol yes I know stop cleaning. But alot of u need to remember even tho I seem to be cleaning alot I do stop and start I cant do it all at once cos I get sick or get pains.

Tuesday is the day of Ruth's and the boys school Christmas concert that they have like every year. I went shopping in the morning to get a few things then I came home and baked some cupcakes for Ruth's class party the next day. Then I pined the tinsel to the bottom of Ruth's skirt for her to look more chirstmasy. Then it was time to pick Ruth up from school I was running late when I went to pick her up ppl had already stuck their chairs out for that night and just left them there so I decided to do the same lucky my chairs live in my boot so I have them whenever I might need them. Instead of taking Ruth to ballet this week I let her have a week off I was really tired and worn out and I still had the night to go so I thought it would be best just not going that week. I droped Miah off at Mums and then went down to the school to wait for the concert to start (plus make sure my chairs were still there I was a little nervous leaving them there) Mum brought the boy down with her so he didn't have to wait around all that time. Adrian was working that night so the poor boy missed out on the concert and so did dad he was out country but as I said to dad hay whats new lol he is always away when things like this are on. Ruth Rory and Isiah were in the first 3 acts for the evening but we couldn't leave till the end because we had to wait till then to pick the kids up from their classrooms. As usual the girls piked and left as soon as the kids were done they took Miah home to save Adrian coming to get him Miah really wasn't interested in the night at all.

Wed 10th Dec

This was casual clothes day for the school and we had to take a can of food to school for the needy over Christmas. It was also Ruth's party day so she took the cakes I made in for the class apparently they were really yummy. We also got Foxtel IQ we already had foxtel but they brought out a deal where u get IQ for free for a year so I rang them up and said I wanted that deal so they gave it to us. So free IQ for the year and I love it I now don't miss out on my shows because it lives on Nick Jnr or the shows I wanna watch are tooo adult for the little ones to watch.

Thurs 11th Dec

This is my last free Thursday for a long time as school holidays start this Fri. I had a costume party to go to on Sat so I went into town to get a wig it was a Get Smart party and so I needed to get a black wig for 99. The day went so fast it was over before it began before I knew it I was on my way to get Ruth from school.

Friday 12th Dec

I went to Mums today to finish Maries Bday present as her Bday is like the day after Christmas so I wanted to make sure I had it all done and sorted. It rained allot this day as well I loved it its about time we had a good rain. Jeremiah loved it tooo he was soaked by the time Ruth got out of school. He was jumping in all the puddles and running around in the rain. By about 3:30 Ruth and Jeremiah had already started fighting so I was thinking how great these holidays are going to be if they continue like that.

Saturday 13th

I got up really early for the Relief Society Breakfast ( I would love to know who the bright one was that thought of that ) It was not bad tho apart from the getting up early we played the present game when you pass it left when the story says left then right when the story says right. I spent the rest of the day relaxing ready for my big night We haven't been out in sooooo long usually its me or him that go out and one stays at home.

I sooooo wasn't impressed with the way I looked in the wig I felt like a total dork and Adrian helped me feel that way when he laughed at me when I stuck it on. It was a good night and it was great for us to get out together. (It would've been better if I wasn't pregas)

Me in the wig dont I just look great :P

Me and Adrian

He was Max Smart

Yes thats Tam she has pinched some of my

friends lol nah shes just friends with them too

By the way for more photos look on facey

Well that's it from me for now and YAY I'm all up to date

Love Ya

Ruth

Im getting there slowly catching up hehehehe

Ok Ill start by saying Hello fellow boogers lol bloggers friends family

There wasn't really allot to write about from the 30th of Nov to the 5th of Dec so Ill stick it all in together as it will be short and sweet we can only hope
Well aside from the cleaning which many of you think I do way tooo much of. I had a hospital appointment for baby (souvlaki)on the 3rd of Dec. I'm really starting to hate my appointments they are so annoying and boring I know they are there to make sure everything is going to plan but when you know everything is fine its annoying cos you go in they ask you a few questions check your blood pressure and the bubs heart beat and then your free to go.Souvlaki is moving around heaps and seems to be growing really fast and I feel soooooo huge atm and its only going to get worse.
After the appointment Sarah and I with Miah went shopping but this time we didn't let Miah have the raspberry frozen fanta ( that stuff sends him hypo) we managed to get what we needed done in time for me to drop Sarah home and pick Ruthie up from school which was good as last week I ended up asking mum as I was running late and didn't realise the time when we were shopping. So that's basically about it for those few days apart from the boring usual.

Sat the 6th of Dec
Well as you guys all know this was the first Sat of the month and that means sisters day.
This time we invited Natasha and Mum and made it a Christmas lunch. We figured just because we didn't work and have work supply us with a Christmas party we would have our own while the men stayed at home with the kids after all we have the biggest job of all even if we don't get paid for it. Oh and Tam and Sarah were just ring ins hehehehe. It was a really nice lunch and there was heaps of food I payed for a quarter chicken and ended up with half.
That night we went to the ward Christmas party it was really good and this year they asked us to bring a small gift for the kids to give to baby Jesus ( who was a girl this year hmmmmm) for the needy. I thought that was a great idea it helps the young ones realise the importance of giving and not just receiving which doesn't happen allot when they are younger. Plus it brings in the real meaning of Christmas not just the Santa and stuff like that. They played cool games thanks to Bro Mason he brought a big ball ( one of the gym ones) for poison ball it was sooooo cool to watch.

Well that's enough for my first instalment otherwise the next one will be too big I actually did stuff that week hehehehe
Love you all
Ruth
