Day 50 - I Deliver On A Promise

The kids have completed a total clean-up of the kitchen/Sun room/Breakfast Nook area (I mean it's spotless) so I have to give them what I promised: a drawing each.

For whatever reason, I'm not a fan of drawing them X-Men figures...I like drawing them pictures that require them to color different objects and such...Plus it's way more enjoyable for me.

When I draw them these X-Men figures they get annoyed when things are slightly off...and then I tell them I'm not Bob Ross...followed by blank stares because they don't know who Bob Ross is...so I try explaining to them who Bob Ross is...Only they don't care about Bob Ross...and then I just tell them they can either have it or they can go without one...

They always take the drawing. I mean, it's not as if I didn't try...These aren't stick figures I'm drawing here...

Either way, I probably draw one daily but its just one of those aspects of the job you don't like doing but you do...

So, as follows, is the conversation we had:

V: "Alright guys, way to go! Put 'em up!(High fives for all 3) Now, since you guys were so good...I'm going to draw you each a picture..."

CW's: "YEAAAAAAAAAH"

E: "V-V-Victa, you know what I wan't you to draw me?"

O: "And me!?"

V: Actually I think I do...Ethan, I bet you want Rogue and Owen I think you want the orange Wolverine...Right?"

E: "Yep! You shore are!"

O: Smiles

V: "Summer, what do you want?"

S: "Um um uhhhh ahh Bictor, I want a pwincess."

V: "A princess? Done. Alright, what color paper?"

S: "Pupple"

V: "Alright...and boys?"

O: "Brown!"

E: "Uhhh (turns to Owen) Does skin color come up good on rwed, Owen? (Owen says that it does) OK! I want rwed!"

S: "Atchally Bictor I want a pit-cher of me in this pwetty dwess"

V: "You just want a picture of yourself in that dress?"

S: "Uhhh ye-yeah but with Owen and with Ethan too..."

V: "Alright..."

And then I started to draw.
