Slightly Calmer Sunday!!

Mr Messy took Little Miss Sensible and Little Prince out for breakfast, which allowed me to have a lovely quiet lie in :-) Isn't he wonderful :-) Unfortunately I did eventually have to wake up, as I had to drop Drama Teen and Best Friend off at the cinema (again!) to see a different film with a different set of friends. And then drop LMS and Fraulein off at the shops to get their last minute shopping done. AND then go and trawl round the supermarket as we've run out of loads of stuff as I haven't had time to stay in and wait for our regular supermarket delivery. I managed to get most of the shopping I needed done, which was a huge relief. I had to buy a car charger for my phone as my battery had run out and I needed to get in touch with both sets of girls and arrange to pick them up!! We had arranged to meet Drama Teen and her friends at McDonalds, so once I'd picked up LMS and Fraulein we went there to eat (again - there's only so much MacFood I can take, hopefully that's the last time for a while!!).

Once we got home we did a quick tidy up and dust, well I told the girls to get on with it while I cooked and then supervised Little Prince having his tea. I also had them bring all the Christmas decorations downstairs. This is the first year we have let Little Prince join in the decorating, the past few years we have decorated while he's been in bed and he's woken up to a HUGE surprise :-) He enjoyed himself immensely and loved putting decorations on the tree, and even spread them around the tree with out being told to do so. After a while he was getting rather over excited and we ended up telling him it was bedtime - cue lots of tears and sobs that he wasn't tired. As soon as I hugged him he said he was very very tired and was going to take himself to bed, I insisted on taking him anyway and we had a lovely calming story before he fell asleep. Maybe we should have waited another year before having him help decorate?!?!
