Boy's Day Out

I dropped Mr Messy and Little Prince at the train station today, as they are off to visit a Museum on a Boy's Day Out. Little Prince was very excited about this and has been asking if its time to go since he woke Daddy up at 7am this morning. However, the nearer we got to the train station, the more reasons he was coming up with to try to persuade Mummy to come too!! He tried "Its much nicer when we all go some place together" and "I hate museums" and "Tidying up is fun" (what I told him me and the girls would be doing while the boys had fun) and finally resorted to pretending to be asleep when we parked the car!! Once we'd got him out of the car he seemed happy and bouncy again. Hopefully both boys will have a fun day!!! On the way home I called in a shop and got Little Prince an Indiana Jones dressing up set, as that is what he wants to dress up as for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party we are attending at Disney :-)

When I got home I encouraged (she would say bullied lol) Drama Teen into sorting out and tidying more of her room. We only had her big bookcases left to do, but it took us most of the afternoon! She got rid of a pile of books, which LMS then went through to see if she wanted to pinch any, which she did! Poor Drama Teen then started to get a bad headache, so we left putting all the books, ornaments and assorted trinket boxes away for another time. While we were doing that LMS was sorting her bedroom into boxes ready for her return to University next weekend. She also had to sort the boxes into two piles 1. MUST go to Uni with her and 2. Could be delivered later. Again that took her all afternoon. And for some reason I seem to be lumbered with the huge pile of stuff for downstairs!! Mr Messy rang up to say they would be back at the station soon, so me and LMS took all the rubbish to the tip on the way to the station. Little Prince was a very tired and grumpy boy when he was in the car! We went to a fast food restaurant on the way home, and it was the WRONG fast food restaurant, so he initially refused to eat anything! We eventually persuaded him to eat a little, thank goodness. He then decided he wanted to go to the nearby toy shop, but we said no, knowing he had his dressing up outfit at home! He sulked and whined for most of the way home before falling fast asleep. He was so sleepy that after half an hour lay on the sofa, we thought we'd better put him to bed! Where he's stayed, fast asleep ever since.

As a 'well done' to Drama Teen for working so hard at sorting out her room, me and LMS decided to tidy up and put away all the rest of her ornaments, books and trinket boxes. LMS enjoys arranging things, so I left her to it, she had a whale of a time :-) She has even let Drama Teen have her Lava Lamp, as she has nowhere to plug it in at University, and its too delicate to store away in a box. Drama Teen seems suitably impressed by both the tidyness of her room and her newly acquired Lava Lamp :-) So by next weekend, when all the boxes are on their way to University, we will have THREE totally sorted and tidy rooms - LMS's, Drama Teen's and Little Prince's :-) We just need to get the rest of the house done then lol.
