SOMETHING CHRISTMAS AMAZING ARRIVED.........
The Inghams have had the completed vlogmas intro delivered. Jace is shouting in the background. Creepy trapped his finger in the office a couple of months go and the whole nail just fell off. He always tells Isabelle his nail fell off into her coffee. Jace's nails are falling off because of the Hand, Foot and Mouth that he had. Lazy freaked out when they were away, ran to Creepy, he had a panic, they Googled, called the doctor and he said it was fine. Lazy decides to show us the lifting nail, which we definitely did not need to see. Jace usually has very healthy nails.
Creepy said Lazy has to correct herself because of the 'trolls'. A couple of fingernails looked like they were peeling and one toenail fell off. She tells him to get the girls down to see the new intro. Whilst Creepy gets the girls, Lazy shows us the "amazing and healthy" grass. Someone came in and did it for them whist they were away. Lazy can't wait to get the patio set set up. The wind last night blew the hot tub lid and ladder off. Lazy tells Creepy they should set up the firepit outside, sit out there and stargaze. Isla tells her she's going to put her hair in a bun with a bow on top. Lazy tells her to go and tell Isabelle and Esme to hurry up, and of course Jace has to run off screeching as well.
Lazy is still waiting for the girls. A friend and Sister Piles came in to move the mail inside from the postbox whilst they were away. Lazy has just opened a dress she ordered for Mila and it's soaking wet. She asks Creepy whether she should just bin it because she can't send it back as it was her fault. She decides to get it out and try to wash it.
The girls are now in the living room. Jace is more interested in the tree and presents. Lazy tells them they've had a delivery of something epic. Lazy says we'll get to hear the intro but the Grinch decides the ifam aren't even worthy of hearing it. The kids watch the intro.
The Inghams have cleaned the kitchen and Lazy found some packages on the floor. One is an Around the World Christmas Countdown clock from Lynda. It looks like an ifam made it from cardboard. Lazy also just opened a package from Prinny. The company is called Pawsitively Cherished on Etsy but they don't want Lazy to show the inside of the card they sent. The company sent a keyring of Prinny and Esme, and a personalised bowl with Prinny's face on.
The bowl won't last long with Jace around. I give it a week before it's smashed to bits. Christmas music plays as Lazy puts the countdown clock on the island and sets up a diffuser.
Lazy is now upstairs and dragging a box of Christmas tree and decorations over to the hallway window. She breathlessly says it's time for Christmas tree "numero two". She drags the seat out of the way. Every year she forgets that the tree takes so long to put up as it's branch by branch. She sorts the branches out and now it's time to assemble.
Mila is getting fussy so Esme is holding her like a sack of potatoes on the stairs. Lazy has done the tree wrong and Mila wants a feed. Music plays as Creepy runs up the stairs to a breastfeeding Lazy, shot of the DPD van and rain outside and Jace sitting on the chair. Jace decides to help Lazy but she says he's causing chaos. Time lapse of Lazy putting the branches on whilst Creepy gets Mila from the bedroom and comes out texting someone.
Creepy is untangling lights. He says to remember to wrap the lights because if you don't you'll be sat untangling them like he is. Lazy foghorn that he says this every Christmas.
Lazy and Creepy have had an argument off camera. As the tree was on the floor, you could only see a quarter in the window. Because Lazy likes to show off and try and convince everyone she's rich, the full tree has to be seen from the outside. Apparently the window it massive. They have put the tree on top of the plastic box the tree was stored in. Underneath the tree will be more light up boxes like the ones they have downstairs. Isabelle and Isla are playing with the pearls. The tree theme is red and white. Creepy is playing boo with Mila. Lazy and Isabelle put the lights on the tree. Phone footage of them decorating it. Isabelle holds Mila once the tree is done.
Lazy screeches about how fantastic she thinks the tree looks. She's got the presents from downstairs and put them under the tree. There are light up animals at the bottom. Music plays as Isabelle holds Mila and Lazy shows her the tree. Lazy then heads outside to screech about how amazing it looks from the street. It looks so cute. She moans about cups being on the windowsill. Creepy comes and joins her. He wraps his arms around her. She tells him that the "monstrosity" van isn't staying at the front of the house because everyone needs to see the light up stars she's putting in the playroom window. She has loads of plans for the front garden.
Esme is in the playroom playing with some toys. She takes the mick out of Creepy for the way he's walking whilst holding Lazy around the waist. His legs are always bent when he's holding onto Lazy "because she's small".
More like he's struggling to carry all that extra weight. Creepy says she's short but Lazy tells him she's 5'3 so is tall.
That's definitely short. Esme says she's nearly as tall as Lazy. Isla is practising doing shoelaces because she can never get them tight enough. Mila is falling asleep in Creepy's arms.
Random shots of the kitchen to Christmas music. Lazy and Isabelle have been winding Creepy up about being a Grinch at Christmas so this year he's making an extra effort not to be one. Lazy tells us she's done a 'Chris Loves Xmas' highlight on Instagram with all the antics he gets up to this Christmas. Jace is screeching "me and my monkey" as usual. The turkey is happening and we'll find out what that means soon.
Dinner was homemade veggie burgers with chips but Lazy 'forgot' to film them. Isla is having a banana, Esme is having a cheese string and Jace is having a yoghurt.
Time for an update on Esme's finger. The bandage was on for 3 days and then it was changed. Yesterday she took the bandage off because it didn't hurt anymore and she wanted to take a bath. There is a piece of "blue elastic stuff" (a stitch). She tells the ifam to comment down below what the doctor sewed her finger up with. She shows us the finger. In 10 days she needs to go and get the stitch removed.
Lazy asks Jace on a scale of 1-10 how much he wants to go to bed. He's eating an apple and wants to take it to bed. Then he goes over and bites Isla's nose and Isla does one of those laughs as if she's about to cry but composes herself. Lazy asks Isla if she wants to help take him to bed. He's hyper and it doesn't help that the tv is still on. Upstairs Lazy brushes Jace's teeth with Isla next to him brushing hers.
It's snowing and Lazy is screeching about how pretty the Christmas tree looks.
Again, not going to help settle Jace down for bed. Jace points out the "cake" (ice cream) on the tree. Isla points out her "fwavourite". She's excited for the elves.
Jace is in his bedroom now running around. Lazy says Isla isn't helping because she's also running around pretending to ride his toy lion like a hobby horse. Next Jace decides to measure various toys in his room. Mother of the Year is doing nothing to get him into bed.
Jace is finally in bed. It must be at least 9pm now though. Lazy and Isla say goodnight. They are now off to bed. Lazy says Jace is normally good and jumps into bed. Tomorrow is the last Monday they'll take off and there will be no more missing Mondays throughout vlogmas.
End of vlog
Why the random shot of the van? Thankfully Creepy isn't half naked in the window reflection today.
Trying to convince us she's a size 10. Never in a million year is she. She's easily an 18.
