Yesterday

Yesterday started way too early!! We were driving a couple of hours away to a huge flea market/antique fair. Once again Drama Teen decided to stay here and wait for her boy to appear! I was quite worried about this as we would be so far away and wouldn't be able to get in touch with her at all, all day!! But she insisted this was what she wanted to do, and so we drove off waving to her stood on the deck :-(

The drive was long and loud with Little Prince chattering most of the time! We saw quite a few Amish people driving their horse drawn buggies on our way. Its fascinating to think that they live their lives without technology or electricity! I know I couldn't cope living like that! Once at the flea market we parked in the enormous car park and headed off to mooch round the stalls. There were so many!! Lots of barns and buildings filled with people selling their stuff. It was very hard for Little Prince as lots of the stalls had delicate china on them, and I had to keep a tight hold on his hand and constantly remind him not to touch!! We bought quite a lot of things for his bedroom, but he didn't appreciate those!! We only saw one stall selling toys and ended up not getting him any Star Wars figures as they seemed over priced, I thought there would be more toy stalls somewhere else, but there weren't!

After the flea market we drove over to a nearby Mall as LMS wanted to go to JC Pennys and get some shorts she'd seen. She also bought a pair of mocassins and a Prom Dress!! Strange combination, but it makes her happy lol. There was a soft play area in the Mall (such a civilised idea - wish it had caught on in the UK!) so Little Prince was able to run off some of his pent up energy. He was then a bit happier to wander round the shops!! We must have shopped till we dropped as both LMS and Little Prince fell asleep on the way home!!

When we got home we found a lonely and folorn Drama Teen :-( Apparently her boy had been round with his parents to invite her to come shopping with them, but as she was here on her own they decided not to take her, as there was no one to ask permission of. Within minutes of our own arrival, her boy pulled up on his quad bike - we told them to be back before dark and to behave themselves. It got later and later and there was no sign of them!! His mum appeared at our door asking if we knew where they were - and said send him home as soon as we see him!! Then his neighbour's kids turned up looking for Drama Teen, and they had no idea where they were either! It was getting darker and darker and I was starting to get worried, when they finally appeared!! I told the boy that he had better go straight home as his mum was looking for him. Drama Teen insisted that it wasn't dark and that they HAD got home in time!!! Funnily enough we didn't agree!!! We teased her about being out late with her boy and wondering what she had been up to!! She finally admitted that they had been kissing!! Apparently the day before they had said their goodbyes and he had driven off on his quad bike, then came racing back. "Sorry I have to do this" he said and kissed her, awww. I think Drama Teen is smitten :-) Tomorrow is going to be very hard for her :-(

In the midst of teasing Drama Teen we somehow found out that LMS has a 'thing' for her American friend that she has been chatting to on the internet for years. Trouble is he is right over the other side of the United States and she hasn't yet had the chance to meet him - although she has rung him quite a few times while we've been here :-) And even cuter, he likes her too :-)

Once we had done enough teasing of Drama Teen (for that evening anyway) we went out with Cabbage Queen to Walmart, leaving Drama Teen babysitting for Little Prince. I wanted to get some last bits and pieces for our friends who've looked after our kittens and LMS wanted to get some sweets/candies for her friends at home. Mr Messy came along for the ride and ended up getting loads of t-shirts and shirts for work!
