Anyway, i took the kids down the chapel to clean the loos as they need a clean. Obviously picking a key up on the way from the lush Katie Taylor. I don't think they got cleaned last week, so they are extra grimey. I gave up after 10 minutes as Ethan was running riot and Lily was screaming. The only way i can do this is help from Pauline! So i get the kids back in the car and drive up to Paulines house to plead for some help! We decided to get the rest of the blessing stuff, so i drove to Aldi and Asda to get the last bits. It's just so busy on a Saturday. I wanted to go early, but just couldn't get out of bed. Lily is poorly too, poor bubsie! You get the usual grumps moaning about not getting in the queue soon enough..etc. I wish that was the only trial i had to face!
Once we had finished the shop, we stopped back to Paulines to have some lunch. Yummy pasta bake! Ellen Jones has started a book club, so we had a good look at the books available on the top 100 reading list by the BBC. Looks like it's going to be 'The grapes of wrath' as our starter book. Need to have it read by the end of January to have a meeting to discuss it. Exciting! Pauline said she has always wanted to be in a book club!
We left Ethan with Peter - he is not having a good day today :( - and headed down the chapel to clean the loos. We took it in turns of holding Lily, shes just not well and wants to be held, bless her. The HOV presidency were there too setting up for the Christmas party tonight. Once we had that done, we headed to my house to drop off the food bought, drop the key back to Kate's and then back to Paulines to chill for a bit. Pauline came with me to help get the kids ready as i put some make up on. I look half dead without it.
The party was really fun. Morgan Howells was doing some kids games while the adults sat at their tables. Santa came and visited, giving out gifts and we ate some food together before the cabaret started. It was cute! And best of all, no one asked me, 'what are you doing here?' Horray! Here's some of the shots from the night;
We set up the tables for the baby blessing so it doesn't have to be done tomorrow. In between i was swinging Ethan around - he loved it until i swung him by his legs, scaring the daylights out of him and causing him to cry for Nanny. My bad!
Pauline kindly followed me to Tesco to get some bits - she stayed in the car with the kids as i nipped in. I then came home to Jared who had just finished his law exam. He put Ethan to bed while i settled a snuffly Lily. He watched MoTD as i sat in bed blogging. We have a big day tomorrow! :)
