THE HOLIDAYS SO FAR WITH KIDDIES & CHRISTMAS DAY WITH JORDAN

Well as you all should know now we are 6 days into the holidays.
After the Alien episode, things are settling down somewhat. I lost my voice, its coming back now. Everyone is worried because i loose it frequently, but the truth is in February this year i was blessed with the Mumps. (not) Dont know who i got it from, but boy does it make you sick. My immune system shuts down every so often and my voice somewhat turns into a hacksaw. The Specialist told me it can affect the ear, nose, throat for a long time after, especially if i get carried away with Kareoke.
It doesnt help when your run down and also being run ragged with children.

Hubby has been home now for 4 days and told me yesterday he can understand why i will reach for the glass of wine, though it was his turn to reach for his bourbon and block his ears, yell/scream and put up with Jordans mind numbing errrrrr noises which now sounds like a rooster in the morning, except it is all day in our cage. The day has been starting each morning with Jordan turning the CD player on and playing keep on dancing by Gwyn Stefani, and with no pun intended keeps on playing it over and over. Nicolas and Chloe awake and proceed to fight, Nicolas accidently trips over Chloe while she is playing and hurts his knee, then pushes Chloe over and tells me it was an accident......................

Christmas day was a 5.30am start, Santa Claus came and left them with loads of presents even though how many times we had told them we were ringing Santa to tell him not too deliver. The night before we had to laugh at Nicolas's sense of humour because he wanted to leave Santa a Bourbon and coke out for him so he could sleigh drive drunk, hopefully after the time he reaches our house after too many he will fall asleep near the xmas tree so he can awake and meet santa and his reindeers, logic thinking dont you think?

Hubby & I set up the Cabana to cover their new pool and let them swim throughout the morning, while he watched, i cooked xmas lunch to take over to my brothers house. Upon arriving Jordan started crying and telling us he wanted to go to grandmas over and over. I explained to him that Uncle Shane & Aunty Natasha had set up a big jumping castle and pool for them, with this information he got out of the car and ran straight to the back yard, then started crying again telling us he wanted Grandma, and decided he didnt like it outside anymore. I know it was because of all the people outside and found it all too overwhelming. Natasha turned on the computer, hoping this would make him happy. How many times people who didnt understand Jordan's autism, asked me how old he was, telling me he is a small child compared to Nicolas who is younger started to annoy me quietly after explaining Jordan takes after his father & Uncle Shane who was Jordans size at his age, and he was on the the correct scale for his weight and height 7.5 years old, my sister in law then telling me my babies were small comparing them to her two, the thing is people forget Jordan was 4 weeks early weighing 7pounds, Nicolas 5 weeks early weighing 7.5 pounds, had he gone to full term he would have been 9-10 pounds and Chloe was close to 7.5 pounds at 38 weeks, her daughter weighed a little over 6 pounds 4 months ago explain that one.

Not long after the boredom set in and Jordan came out for a while, swam a little and by 6.30pm wanted to go home. We left at 7.00pm to meet some friends back at our house, fired up the BBQ and let the kids swim some more, and finally giving into putting a nappy on Jordan so he could do his pooh that he had held in all day after trying to make him go on the toilet.

All in all it was a busy but nice day, the children were spoilt by everyone. I am still finding room to put all their toys. Today is hubbys last day off before returning back to work so we are on our way today soon to my inlaws house hopefully for another pleasant day chasing kids around.

Take care all and hope you all have a wonderful fulfilled holidays.
