Yet another catch up post!!

Thursday 25th October - Tried to get organised for Berlin trip. Couldn't find the European plug adaptor and ended up buying a new one. Still can't find the electronic version of the E111, no idea where I 'filed' those!! Little Miss Sensible came home for the weekend, its sad that I won't get to see much of her this time :-(
Friday 26th October - Spent the whole morning frantically packing, repacking to make everything fit and desperately trying to finish the Squishes I needed to send to a cyber friend who was off to the US on business on Monday (she's going to post the Squishes while she's over there). I managed to finish the Squishes with 1/2 hour to go, phew!! And Mr Messy and LMS are going to post them to cyber friend tomorrow for me. Mr Messy and LMS took me and Little Prince to the airport - I was so nervous about flying on my own with him, and also about how he would behave once we got there!!! The flight was fine, managed to keep Little Prince amused with a few cars and a magazine I'd bought for him in the airport.

HALLOWEEN - I'm still trying to catch up so these posts are all a bit out of order and disjointed, sorry!! I took Little Prince Trick or Treating for the first time with a group of other mums and kids from school, there were 8 kids in all. Little Prince had wanted to dress up as Winnie the Pooh, but his 'girlfriend' (that's what he calls her!!) told him it was Halloween so he had to be scary - so he eventually went as a skeleton. He had a ball, even though he was one of the younger kids in the group he was usually first to knock at the doors and shout Trick or Treat. He'd then introduce himself, with his full name, but he remembered to say thank you each time and didn't grab more than one sweet at any house, so I'm very proud of him. Drama Teen, her friend from school and Fraulein all went Trick or Treating together, but seperately from us - its not cool to go with your mum and little brother!! All of them seem to have a great time, and Little Prince even accepts his sweets being rationed to a few each day instead of one sick making feast all at once!! And here is the pumpkin Drama Teen, School Friend and Little Prince carved :-)
