I took pictures

After School Status: I have a cold and that little boy on the floor of my kitchen is grouchy and says I've never given him anything nice, not even when he was a baby, "Not even baby food. Nothing. Just meatballs. And that's not nice!"

(He thinks just because he got up early Monday morning and microwaved some leftover coffee, mixed it with half a cup of Vanilla CoffeeMate and wrote "for Mom" on a sticky note pad propped up on the coffee cup... he thinks I owe him, "something nice!")

 Keep in mind, this child is 7. The entire post this evening is about a 7 year old.

How about a kiss? I asked him.

"No, Candy. I'm talking about going to the movie theater, for a movie, with my own drink and popcorn," he says. "Coffee. Caffeine. And Candy. I want everything!"
"Go get your book and lets read." I said.

Then he began crying real tears and wallowed around on the floor with his book bag zipped over his head.

I took pictures. I'll post them later. Okay it's later now.

 Yeah, that's my boy.

So we got some drawing pencils last night and Mr. C. was the only one with me this evening. This was because one biggest brother was in his room singing his heart out, and one slightly bigger brother decided to turn the bathtub into Bubble Mania World. Achieved by using Half a Bottle of Shampoo/Body Wash on a chick-puff. Seriously the kid was 6 inches deep in bubble foam and he was "Playing basketball!" in there by throwing the puff through the loop of the detachable shower head. Bubbles on the ceiling of the tub. The walls. I didn't take pictures of that. I sent him to bed. Dinner was over anyway. He's still up I think. Sulking.

I am supposed to be doing homework. But. Since I was unable to think much since I was and still am plagued by sniffling sneezing stuffy head I can't rest business, I showed Mr. C. how to use the drawing pencils. See, these thin pencils are for drawing the first lines, this thing is a charcoal stick blob and I don't like the way it sounds when I use it, the fatter pencil leads are for doing shading. Charcoal pencil makes a darker line though and it isn't shiny like graphite.

So he did some drawing for me. I drew some apples to show him about the shading part. Then I drew him while he drew apples. I pointed to that square at the bottom left above, and said "So what's that?"
"It's Art" he told me.
Oh. Shoulda' guessed.

These are my favorite. I told him to draw the cup and so he drew the cup and the apple. The dark spot on the side of his drawing is where he says the bite was taken out.
