What a Day!!!

OK not a great start, with the builder getting me out of bed at 7.30am!! He was more than embarrassed that I answered the door bleary eyed and in my dressing gown!! This afternoon we had to pick up Fraulein from a revision session at college and then drive over to our friend's house. Little Prince is notorious at this friend's house - as each time he visits he does SOMETHING!! One time he staked his claim to the trifle by writing his name in it with his finger, another time he got hand cream all over the place. But this visit he topped the lot!!! He was in the garden with friend's husband supervising (yes he managed this WITH supervision!!) and was looking at the fish in the fish pond (you can see what's coming can't you?!?!). He decided he wanted to touch one of the fish and despite warnings that it was deeper than it looked and to be careful he went in headfirst, up to his ankles!!! Luckily friend's husband was watching and managed to grab him by the ankles and pull him out PHEW!!! We then had to strip him off, while he dripped all over the kitchen and chattered excitedly about the fish!!! Then he had to wear friend's 12 year old daughter's clothes (PE shorts and smallest t-shirt she could find) for the rest of our visit. We thought that was it, he had done his mischief for the day, but NO!!! He found some more mischief!! He was playing quietly in the lounge when there was a shriek and he came running into us in the kitchen shouting "I sprayed it in my eye." He had found some window cleaner and tried to clean the windows, but got the sprayer the wrong way round!!!! I dragged him to the bathroom to rinse his eye and he was soon fine and asking if he could clean the windows now!! We only stayed a while longer as my heart couldn't take the strain of wondering what was next!!! Luckily friend's have grown up boys of their own and are used to these sorts of happenings!!!

On the way home Little Prince and Drama Teen played, think of an animal beginning with each letter of the alphabet, which had us in stitches!! Little Prince went first A for Awul (owl!!). He then accused his sister of cheating when she said H for Hare, thinking she had said hair!! And then argued for ages that he should be allowed Y for Younicorn (unicorn). Life with Little Prince is never dull :-)

Just off to bath the pond dipper as Eau de Fish doesn't seem to suit him!!!

UPDATE: Apparently the intrepid adventurers exploits didn't end there! Mr Messy has just informed of what Little Prince got up to when he played in the garden for an hour with Mr Messy watching. While out there he repeatedly scootered along our patio wall, (it is only about 12" high) his most spectacular fall was when he went off the wall one way and the scooter went the other!! Little Prince survived unhurt and ready to try again, I'm not sure about my flowers!! He was stopped from riding his ride on trike down his biggest slide - luckily!!! I'm so glad he is now tucked up safe and snug in his bed!! I hope tomorrow is a quieter day lol.
