I could stay in my pajamas all The Live Long Day. True story. Ask Sweetman. He will sigh and say, “Alas, it is true.”
He may also tell you that he will oh-so-delicately off up suggestions throughout the weekend mornings of good times to shower and get dressed. “I’d like to offer to take the kids down into the basement so you can have a nice long shower. Now.”, and other such statements are known to be thrown about at 11:30 or 12:30 or 1:30 on a lazy Saturday. And by now, many of you know that I’ve run into some trouble with not showering in the past. Right?
My Sweetgirl? She is just like her daddy, apparently.
“What color are your eyes, Daddy?”, she innocently asked him yesterday.
“Blue-ish and green-ish.”, he told her.
Off she went.
When she came back an hour later, she had painstakingly drawn a family portrait.
Only, it was a family portrait that was missing a family member.
Me.
First, though, please see if you can figure out which one is Sweetman:
Do you see him? If not, he has some extra-large glasses you might should borrow.
Now, may I clarify a few things?
Sweetman does not, in fact, wear a pink feather boa; although, it would seem from this portrait that he does. Also, while Sweetgirl actually got the, um… dimensions of his hair perfectly, the color is quite different.
I would next like to point out that Sweetboy does, indeed, have eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Just not, apparently, in this family picture. Also, brother is almost 5 years older than sister and is therefore SO not smaller than her. (She only wishes.)
Lastly, let’s discuss the missing member, shall we? I was not, as it turns out, fit to be drawn. Why?
“You haven’t gotten dressed for the day yet, Mama! I don’t know what clothes to draw on you.”
And that, perhaps, is the best reason to get showered and dressed before 2:00 p.m. that I’ve ever heard.
Oh, yes indeedy!
Children draw THE best family portraits! Do you have one that sticks out in your mind?

That is great! She is a spitfire for sure.
Oh, to match your Rose! 😉
Love this, Missy!!!
Thank you Diane!
Too funny! I’m not usually one to procrastinate on the shower thing, but honestly, I got totally distracted today and it’s 3:15 and I forgot to shower. Maybe I could get into the pool before anyone gets home and finds out ; )
Ooh, a “pool shower”! Love it! Been missing you, Sue! Glad to see you around again.
Too funny! I take my mornings slow too. There’s no rush to dress for me. I have to ease into the day. 😉

If taking my mornings slow were an Olympic sport, I’d SOOO get the gold!
Ohhhh…from the mouths of babes!
Right?
What a gorgeous family portrait!! My littlest man drew his Daddy a picture of us all for Father’s day this Sunday just gone. We were all yellow (as you are when that is a child’s fav. colour), had arms coming out of our necks, and belly buttons. I can only assume this means we were nude. Clearly no need to get dressed here then! So please…make yourself at home, but keep the jammies on – I know I will be 😛
Indeed! Arms coming out of necks can be alarming, for sure! 😉 Keeping these jammies firmly affixed for as long as possible!
Oh, the minds of kids!!! I would told her to get used to drama momma in PJ’s 🙂
that picture of dad is EPIC!!!! You know where you can get their drawings made into a REAL toy? You should get that for him for Christmas… & put a real pink boa on it 🙂
Epic, indeed! And – that is a brilliant idea Rebecca Jo. BRILLIANT! Preserved for posterity.
That is hilarious! I guess I have to go back and examine those family portraits. And BTW, it was very very late before I actually took off the nightshirt and put on clothes this weekend.
You go girl! Can’t wait to hear what you rustle up in your own family portraits – knowing your three, it’s bound to be stellar!
So cute Missy!
