Observational drawing: Wot so Funee?

Wot So Funee?Is it just me who finds this funny? I’ve been away to BritMums Live this weekend, and when I came home with the irascible Mammasaurus, who was staying the night at ours, this “observational drawing” was awaiting me, courtesy of my daughter. Normally I would find it nothing short of charming, an example of the work she is currently immersed in at school. But it appears to be a blogging congratulations πŸ˜• I am further confused by the fact that I am only the second named recipient of this award, Annie herself looking like the more important winner. I think it’s even possible that I was an afterthought. Hmmmm…

An observational drawing of a daisy

On the other hand, there were numerous other gifts and notes scattered around the house for random discovery, including 2 rather special bouquets of flowers. I was thrilled, of course, and somewhat mollified the next morning when I awoke to the news that:

“We spent Β£65 pounds Mummy. Yours was Β£40 and Annie’s was Β£25, so yours was the most. Then we spent a pound on Crunchies to put inside the flowers, and Β£10 on lottery tickets, so we actually spent Β£76.”

Oh, that’s alright then.

"congratulations"

  1. Whilst you may have been an after thought on the drawing at least your flowers cost more. Don’t you just love it when kids tell you how much they spent

  3. Ahhhh you have got the sweetest children and that’s a fact!
    I’ve been staring at my flowers this afternoon smiling to myself – now if we can just get Actually daddy to give Papasaurus some lessons in charm that would be smashing! πŸ˜‰

    • I’ll ask him for his daily rate πŸ˜‰ Sadly I think it was mostly influenced by the kids thought, so you’ll just have to start training up your two!

    • Ah well it may have had something to do with the fact that Actually Daddy was off to New York without me the next day. He’s back and jet-lagged, which makes me feel slightly appeased at missing out πŸ˜‰

  9. Love the picture and the importance of the crunchies. Many congratulations on the award, it was great to meet you. Would the combination of you and Annie be actually Saurus? Sounds like world domination.
