Saturday

Mr Messy and Drama Teen set off out early this morning, to go and re-try the family lifestyle shoot from last week. One of the family's children wasn't co-operating last week, so they were going to try again and see if they could do any better this time. The child involved still didn't want to have their photo taken and despite a LOT of effort they didn't manage to get a picture of all four family members together. Although they did get some nice shots of the family in different combinations of two or three people.

Me and Little Prince got his friend's birthday present wrapped and her card written. We were just finishing up with this when friend's mum knocked on the door. As one of the other children invited to the party had decided not to go there was room in the car for Little Prince. The arrangements had been that I would take Little Prince in our car, and then sit with him in the cinema. However, my friend (Post Lady) said she was sure they could cope with Little Prince and that he would behave himself. Little Prince wasn't too pleased at the change in plans but got caught up in the enthusiasm and went along with it all. He told me later that he had been scared at first, but that he had had a great time :-) They went to the cinema and then to a pizza place and Little Prince came back full of sugar and high as a kite!! Great for getting him calmed down for bed lol.

LMS was quite confused when she arrived home (safely yeah!) as I was the only person at home! The house soon filled back up again though. Its lovely having my noisy, chaotic family all at home together :-) Remind me I said that when our Christmas guests arrive too lol.

One of Drama Teen's friends came over so that Mr Messy could sort out a new memory card thingie for her GameBoy. We got one for Drama Teen and have downloaded tonnes of games for it, but her friend was having a lot of trouble making hers work. Mr Messy had already guessed what the problem would be, and he was right and it only took him a few minutes to sort the problem out. The other problem was that Drama Teen's GameBoy had disappeared!! It was found under the chaise long in Little Prince's room - despite him promising he hadn't seen or touched it!!

We ordered in pizzas for tea and after Mr Messy had returned friend home we settled down to watch X-Factor Results show. I have no idea how anyone could chose between the acts as they were all brilliant, well apart from the Irish boy with the name I can't spell!!! He was pants and its a true Irish miracle that he got this far in the competition!! The reaction the winner Alexandra when they announced she was the winner was priceless, she screamed, cried and almost collapsed!!!
