Catching up AGAIN!!

I really must get back into the habit of blogging more regularly! But as the Summer hols are looming (school and nursery finish on Friday) I'm probably not going to get a whole lot better until the kids are back at school in September!

Not a lot been going on really. Drama Teen had her final Stagecoach lesson on Saturday, and it was a 'bring an adult with you' session. Being the shy, retiring types that we are me and Mr Messy nominated Little Miss Sensible as the adult!! She didn't seem to mind and even enjoyed herself, and most importantly they didn't kill each other after an enforced 4 hours together - a minor miracle!! Drama Teen's got her end of term reports from Stagecoach and they were fabulous, she is doing so well and I'm a very proud mummy :-)

On Sunday we were supposed to attend a village field day, but due to the weather (soggy as usual) we didn't go. It was bucketing it down ALL DAY!!! Drama Teen was highly miffed that we didn't go as she had arranged to meet one of her friends there, and couldn't understand why we didn't want to go and wander round a field in the pouring rain!!!

Little Prince spent the whole weekend counting down to visiting his friend this morning. The days of the week went Friday - Saturday - Sunday - FRIENDday. He and his friend spent a couple of hours playing side by side mostly, but sometimes together, while me and friend's mum chatted. Friends mum was quite incredulous that we had time to have lunch and walk (well Little Prince goes on his scooter and I try desperately to keep up!!) up to school, as she ended up going in the car. Everyone has seen how fast Little Prince moves - that's how we managed it lol.

Over the weekend LMS and The Boyfriend booked their flight to Berlin for the start of their jaunt round Europe. LMS still isn't sure where else they are going, and where they are flying home from, hopefully she will find out sooner rather than later!! Both LMS and The Boyfriend are highly intelligent and sensible young adults - so why am I panicking so much about them going on this trip??? And how many text messages can I send them per day before I'm labeled a neurotic, over protective mother?? And if I can't cope with her being away for three weeks, how on earth am I going to manage when she goes to university in September????
