Farewell Barbeque

We arrived home from the Farming Show, to find some of our guests (Mr Messy's parents) had already arrived woops!! Mr Messy had to drop us off at the door, and drive straight to the train station to pick up my mum and dad (they don't drive). And totally unexpectedly my baby sister had managed to get Little Miss Sensible and The Boyfriend to the house before us!! Well done baby sister :-)

Once Mr Messy returned he started cooking tonnes and tonnes of barbeque food, we have a habit of always over catering!! Luckily we had enough guests arrive to eat most of the food prepared and there wasn't too much left over. The only downside to that is that I hadn't planned anything for our tea, as I thought we could munch our way through the leftovers lol.

It was lovely to see everyone and to chat and catch up on all the gossip :-) Little Prince did get over stimulated, by the lack of concentrated attention and the fact four of his young cousins were there to run around with. He got up to quite a lot of mischief - squirted large of mayonaise into the salad, emptied a very old bucket of chicken feed all over the lawn (it smelt disgusting as it had partly rotted yuk), broke a few wheels off some of his cars and probably other stuff I haven't discovered yet!!

Mid afternoon he started to fret about school, and to say he didn't want to go. Nothing we said could reassure him, and he was still upset at bedtime. I've decided that I will have to talk to his teacher tomorrow and arrange to bring him home for lunch, I don't want to leave it any longer as it is obviously something that is worrying him a lot of the time, even if he does manage to hold it together at school. I hope they are as agreeable to this suggestion as they have to all the others they've already implemented for him!!
