SO, my husband took the day off of work to spend it at the pumpkin patch w/ Jack.
He did this so I could still school the big guys this morning...and because there is this annoying "no sibling rule" for field trips...
He is awesome. Such a good daddy, such a good husband. I'm the luckiest.
Funny Jackism for you all,
he looked at me yesterday in his field trip anticipatory excitement, and said....
"You know, you can come. You can just bring the kids".
Yep. My four year old said "you can just bring the KIDS" about his older brothers.
heehee....still makes me laugh.
On to four year old art.....
First off...my boys art, it's my favorite.
Kids still have that ability to just create for the sake of creating....they don't worry....
they just (simply stated) MAKE ART.
That said.
I know some of you aren't parents yet.
I know some of you will be soon...
so some words of advice.
When your four year old tells you it's a picture of you, dont' ask why it looks as though there is fire coming out of your butt.
Just let him tell you you're on the beach w/ fire, 2 scorpions, and an octopus.
DONT ASK WHY.
Don't ask, when he asks you in a very cute voice if his drawing looks like an "OWEO"....what tv show he's talking about.
Just smile and say yes.
What he's really saying is WARRIOR, and it will piss him right off if you think he's talking about cookies. (although that said, his drawing looks much more like a warrior then an oreo)
Smile and tell him it's WONDERFUL...that's all.
And folks, yes, apparently my son does think I have fire coming out of my butt....because, well, it's fire...and if you'll notice where it's coming from....
YEP...
Thank you very much.

PS, My sister is having a bad day, so pop on over to the Maxxy Pad and say "hi" and let's cheer her up :)
