Wednesdaily with flying cats and a not-normal child.

I survived another parent aide day. Barely.

For the project today, the kids drew themselves as grown ups, picking a profession and dressing drawings of themselves up and having one of the aides write a bit about them. One boy was a policeman and caught a bad guy. Another was a parent, with one kid. A little girl was a teacher, another was a dermatologist who lived on a farm. My daughter? My daughter wanted to grow up to be Astrid and fight dragons.

(Honestly, I think that's pretty awesome.)

Today's artwork is:


I did this nearly two years ago (guh!), but just posted it at Torn World!

The Scavenger Hunt is live! It is amazing fun - people who have taken it have enjoyed it a ton, and no one has issued any arrest warrants for the awful poetry. The prize is also awesome, and includes a coupon from me that you could apply to a skeleton army of your very own.

I do believe our children would get on like a house on fire, fighting dragons and saving the world. <3 :)

I remember those skycats. Those beasties are trouble!

Ms. Guppy may have to settle for fighting metaphorical dragons, but there will probably be plenty of those. :-/
