What we've been up to

Drama Teen and Little Prince played in the creek, and had a great time splashing around and having fun :-) They also played with our friend's son's (he is now in his 20's so isn't using it right now lol) Radio Flyer red wagon (you know the one's you see kids pulling in all American films?!?). They had great fun sitting in it together and whizzing down the hill, until they both fell off!! In the afternoon we went out to look at Downtown and wander around the shops. I ordered a painted sign for when we decorate Little Prince's new bedroom (LMS's old bedroom, much to her disgust!). I had decided to do it in an American sporty/Americana theme and where best to buy accessories than IN America lol. We also called in the local organic Co-op and stocked up on juice and cooked meat, before getting back in the car and heading to the town's outdoor swimming pool for a look. There was a playground next door, so Little Prince had a great time running off some energy. When we went back to our friend's house and relaxed before getting Little Prince to bed. Mr Messy decided to have a lie down for an hour and Drama Teen decided to watch a Disney movie. Me and LMS went back to town with our friend Cabbage Queen. First we called at the enormous thrift store, where I got some more Americana stuff for Little Prince's room. Then off to Walmart :-) We should be used to how BIG those places are by now!! But once again we were stunned at the size of the place. We had forgotten our list of stuff we needed, but winged it and managed to spend a small fortune! We bought Hohoes and Ding Dongs - just for the names!! Some new Disney Cars for Little Prince, that we will give him throughout the holiday, rather than all at once. And we bought him a Rubik's Cube, that we gave him this morning and Mr Messy has convinced him is called a Rhubarb's Cube!!! It even had a great fabric selection!! So I bought some State Baseball material for Little Prince's and MeiMei's quilts. LMS was disgusted that she couldn't find dilutable squash ANYWHERE in the shop! Its just such a staple at home that it was quite surprising!! When we got back to the house we found Drama Teen and Mr Messy both in bed, apparently Drama Teen had got so tired she'd gone for a lie down and then fallen fast asleep. They obviously both needed it as they didn't wake up till this morning!
