The girls drew some very beautiful photos that I want to share on here. The first is by M and it’s a picture of me, Mommy, when M was in my tummy. Here it is:
The second one is by A, and it’s of our family – Daddy, Mommy, A, M and Allie. Note Allie’s pointy ears!
Tonight, the girls asked me if Grampy is a teacher. I said no, he is a lawyer. I said that Daddy is also a lawyer, and that mommy used to be a lawyer but isn’t anymore. They asked me what I do now. I tried to explain crisis communications to them. "Well, Mommy works for companies. Sometimes companies get in trouble, and people think they are bad companies, but I help them tell everyone why they are actually good companies." They looked at me for a bit, and then A said, "Boring!"
Thank you to Buppie for coming over tonight to bridge the after-work gap.
Hilarious post. Kids are so blunt…
It looks like we have blossoming artists in the family. The photos are so cute. Thanks for sharing this blog.
Great pictures – and even better insight from A. : )
