Are you SURE it's not daddy?

Ha!  It's not even Tuesday and I'm posting!  Check the box for New Year's Resolutions kept.

So Miss C was drawing today.  She's been into drawing pictures of our family.  So she whips up this (ignore the "keep Louisville Weird" paper--we recycle in this house).  

Now being the proud mama that I am, I ask her who all the characters are.  Little J is top left, Miss C is top right, mommy is bottom left and daddy is bottom right.  Now wait a minute.  Let's go back to the mommy and daddy characters.  Why is the mommy three times the size of daddy?  So I ask, "are you sure that's not daddy there (pointing to the bottom left)?"  She replies, "no, that's mommy."  Me:  "Are you sure?  That looks a lot like daddy."  Her:  "No, that's mommy.  This is daddy over here (pointing to the right)."

Damn.  That is just not fair.  

By the way, the circles in the middle are the belly buttons in case you were wondering.  Be glad she didn't draw our anatomy too.  Usually that ends up on the final version some how or another.  

We were drawing pictures the other day and we included Max (or dog) in one of them.  I had to draw Max because Miss C apparently only draws people.  So I draw the dog with four legs and all.  Then she asks me where his anatomy is (by the way, she always uses the correct terminology for it).  So I had to include it.  That picture is proudly displayed on our refrigerator.  If you ever see it, don't ask why the dog has five legs.

This pic I like to call "Where's Little J?".  Can you see him?  He thinks you can't.  I just love when little kids think that because they can't see  you, you can't see them.  

This is how I am blogging this morning.  Yep, the kids are watching the Polar Express.  God love that movie.  Can you just hear Miss C saying, "mom!  Will you get out of the way!!!  I can't see!"

And finally, this is how we are spending most of our afternoons.  Going for a walk.  It has been so bitter cold lately that we haven't been out in a week or so.  I kind of had this idea.....why don't they make blankets with elastic (kind of like a bunting) for older kids/double strollers?  You know, something that will have elastic on the bottom to go over the foot platform and elastic on the sides that goes over the kids.  The solution here is just not cutting it.  I have to tuck this blanket over and over and over again.  

So, in case any readers out there want to make a prototype (cough, cough, nana), I just happened to measure this morning and it's 26 inches from edge to edge (so give allowance for two kids plus elastic, etc on each side) and 36 inches or so from top to bottom (I was generous with this and kind of allowed for feet, etc.).  

I mean, I'm just sayin'.
