Everything counts in large amounts

Every night after dinner, I do the dishes and the kids do art projects, a little something I call After Dinner Art. In the past they've made paper donuts, recycling projects, bacon headbands (I'm not kidding), deconstructed Batman poses and make your own stickers. Whatever it is, as long as they are drawing I'm all for it.

The other night the Kid wouldn't let me see what he was making because it was for me. When I was done with the dishes he presented me with an involved piece of artwork. As in, I had to be involved:

What can I say, these Momma's boys know what I like.
