Little Miss Sensible came home on Thursday evening, as she and Mr Messy were going to attend a Buddhist meditation weekend, they decided not to go so LMS has been home all weekend. It was lovely to have her here :-) On Saturday Little Prince attended a school friend's birthday party in the village hall, and it was the most disorganised party I've ever been to!! The child's mum and grandma hid in the kitchen throughout the WHOLE party (2 1/2 hours!!) and child's 11 year old sister was left to run the games and look after the children!! The children were fed almost as soon as they had all arrived, which seemed a bit back to front, but liveable with. But then the party descended into chaos - the 11 year old tried her best to organise games, but the kids were hyped up and manic by then and weren't listening. When she finally managed to get them sat in a circle, she then left them sat there and went off with her siblings and friends - leaving a lot of very confused 4-5 year olds!!! She tried to organise musical statues, which went a bit better, once she had sorted the music out!! Musical chairs took almost 20 minutes to set up, during which all the children were running round shouting and popping the balloons and jumping off the stage!! In the end I took Little Prince home, luckily he had had a great time :-)Drama Teen, meanwhile had gone to the cinema with LMS, Mr Messy had driven them there and mooched round the shops while they watched their film. There is a big age difference between the girls, and they are completely opposite in character, so its really nice that they have found something they can do together!!
On Sunday morning Mr Messy set up his photographic studio and took some pictures of the three kids together. This is no mean feat, as Little Prince hates having his photo taken and doesn't co-operate at all. He does look a bit worried, and has a very strained smile in the photos, but Mr Messy said he will try and shoot them (photographically lol) more often so that Little Prince gets more relaxed about it. After the photo session Mr Messy took Drama Teen to town, where she was meeting her Young Man and a couple of other friends to go off round the shops together. I took Little Prince for his swimming lesson and LMS went to visit her friend, who is studying zoology, and has just returned from a field trip to Africa. LMS was supposed to return to university after tea, but decided to stay another night and go home on Monday instead.
