Guess That Drawing And More

UPDATE- This answer to what Katelyn drew is at the bottom of this post!

Here we have another masterpiece drawn by Katelyn-

What in the world could this be? I’ll warn you that the answer may seem obvious but it’s really not…. or maybe it is! I guess we’ll find out

Give me your best guesses!

And in completely unrelated news our friend Marian was in town this past week and she stopped by yesterday for a visit

This is Marian. We go waaayyy back. In fact we go so far back that her parents are the ones who introduced my parents to each other! Cool huh?

Here’s take 1 of a group shot at dinner time. My sun room turned dining room is small so I was wrapped around our corner lamp trying to get everyone in the shot. Katelyn was being a wicked brat nincompoop about taking pictures.

Here’s take 2.

Take 3

And the final take!

We enjoyed catching up, eating pizza and playing Wii. I was so happy to find out that I’m in better physical shape now than I was 442 days ago (which was the last time I was on the Wii Fit!). I was able to do a lot of the exercises on there faster and/ or longer. My scores were all significantly higher! That was a great feeling. Plus I got a little unexpected exercise yesterday.

The girls balked big time when it was time to go to bed. Katelyn begged for Marian to “have a sleep over” and Madelyn tearfully declared she was going to  ” miss Mary”.

Now I’m off to clean house and get myself started on a hopefully better daily schedule now that my weeks are a lot busier. I’ve been allowed to practice the Easter musical with our church choir and we are performing it in two weeks! It’s going to be beautiful. I haven’t had the pleasure of being able to be part of a choir in years so this has been a treat at our new church.

Have a great Monday!

*** What did Katelyn draw above?

A PINK SUBMARINE!!! You see it now, right? I think it totally looks like a submarine *wink*

    I’m glad you had a good visit with Marian! The pictures were good and I got tickled at Katelyn with her very serious and unhappy face. Why did she not want to take pictures?

  • Debra

    I decided to recruit Will to help me figure out what the picture is. Will’s first guess is that the picture is a fish. His second is a cake.

  • SimplyMel

    mom, she just suddenly decided she didn’t want her picture taken!

    Debra, that’s so cute of Will. Sometimes children can best guess a drawing by another child b/c they think the same ! lol Good guesses!

    Garrett says Katelyn’s drawing is either a circle or a fish that will eat you. lol I’m going to hazard a strange guess and say it’s a table.
    Glad you had a nice visit with Marian! It’s hard to believe all of our parents went to college together!
    Don’t you just love when a child gets into “the mood”? Ugh. Garrett has had plenty of those. Let me guess, in the one where she’s kind of smiling, you had just said, through gritted teeth, “If you don’t smile, you are going to get punished/going to have ____ taken away.” One of the 2 threats, get punished or have something taken away. :)

    Lol Lydia! Is that Marian Ward? That’s cool that her folks introduced yours. I sometimes forget how small our world actually is. Glad you had a good visit!

  • SimplyMel

    Jessica, Yes! that is Marian Ward.

    Lydia, I was about to threaten her but I was tickling her in the picture. She’s either hogging the camera or refusing to get her picture taken!

  • mom

    A pink submarine….that’s very cute. I can see it now kind off:)

  • Marian

    Aww… I had a blast. Melissa, you were killer on the Wii! They should let you get Wii fit credit for tennis.

    I think that’s totally a fish, by the way.

    Oh, and do I know Jessica?

  • Marian

    I mean submarine.
