Tea partying with nursery kids and how the Things became kleptomaniacs overnight

So it was a long day extended by the fact I had to shun Thing 1's workshop (I've attended 3 up to now) to attend Thing 2's nursery tea party, scheduled by the SAME teacher for the SAME time!

The tea party was a pleasant experience. We walked in to class, thing 2 sat nicely watching the teacher, waves pleasantly as she sees us and turns back to teacher....

Thing 3 sees Thing 2 turn back nicely to face teacher and so decides to jump on thing 2 and give her a sloppy kiss......
Then Jumps on child A, child B, child C .....initiating the free for all and hence, all the children went wild!

First off we explored the classrooms. Talking about nursery rhymes and nursery rhyme characters.
There was a table set up to decorate gingerbread men at. Thing 2 went to said table, decorated a gingerbread man. Thing 3 went to said table, bit said gingerbread mans head off and then decorated if .... Eating each button as she placed it.....
Dragged them from the gingerbread table, thing 2 had a tantrum because she wanted to eat ALL the gingerbreads.

Thing 3 pooed. found quiet corner, followed by other children and parents . changed Thing 3's nappy in public.

Stayed and listened to the nursery rhymes performed by the nursery class stars whilst enjoying a piece of cake and cup of tea .... And Thing 3 mushes cake into the table and then sweeps it onto the floor. Before screeching a war cry and then running about harassing every grown up in sight.


Deep breaths ... Drama over .... Nursery left with Thing 2 and Thing 3 in tow. Collected Thing 1 and set off home.

Got home to find a puppet from nursery attached by Velcro to Thing 2's cardigan .... A little plastic knight from nursery castle in her pocket. Thing 3 had a plastic magnetic S and K in her hood .... Quite obviously the Things are turning into kleptomaniacs .....

I need to sleep and forget today .....
