Proud mama moment
Wow.
Just when I am ready to cut the jugular of one of my children, they do something so totally awesome, that I put down the knife and hug them. (the knife is figurative, not literal.. don’t call DCF. I don’t actually approach the jugulars of my children with a Ginsu. I save that for slicing tomatoes. And cans.)
Anyhoo… as always my house is trashed. I’m cooking gumbo, putting groceries away and trying to clean the kitchen. Number One has artwork all over the kitchen. Each time I move one picture, another one appears.
OMG.. Number One!! Come do something with this art.. It’s all over the counter.. Why is it even in here? Please go put it away.
But I was going to donate it.
What?
I heard you on the phone talking about the auction for the Million MILF March and you were trying to get some art donated. So I want to donate this.
{silence. wet eyes} Wow. Just Wow. Thank you. I think that is a wonderful idea. We can go frame shopping next week and you can pick out how you want it matted and framed.
Cool. That’ll be awesome.
So.. if you attend the Friday Night Event at the Million MILF March, and want to bid on some art to benefit Friends in Need… this beauty will be available.
I’m a proud mama.

My opening bid is $25. Just in case I can’t be there.
Saw the pic before I read the story and clicked on it before I thought of reading! I LOOOOOOVE it. Woman, you have got some cool ass kids!!!
Oh, respectfully, you are already outbid at $25.
Wow that is an awesome picture.
Make sure he signs it “Number ONE” for the auction – I’ll be bidding!
Wow. Just WOW.
Phenomenal for so many reasons that stem from the heart, but that boy seriously has some artistic skills. S.E.R.I.O.U.S.L.Y.
I second the comments about Number One being super awesome sweet, and having crazy mad artistic skills! Drink it up, mama!
Simply beautiful. You’ve got every right to be proud. So does he. Good job, Mama…and Good Job Number 1!!!
Our new floor, that we paid a gazillion dollars for is totally covered in our kids art. Some of it may actually be museum worthy one day – if they ever create a Pokemon museum.

hi Jenn!
You are raising him right!
thank you! I’m pretty proud of that little shit.
THAT’S MORE AWESOME THAN AWESOME!!! Great art piece as well!! Love it!
thanks Dana!
Damn straight that is skill right there …Beautiful!!Dawn always asks unending unanswerable interrogative questions …Who’s is this? Whats this doing here? Why is this over here? etc…We all just look at each other and shrug…Cause she is cleaning it up as she goes and answering would just slow down the process….
What an awesome painting! Besides being totally rad that he wants to donate to a better cause, he’s also really talented!
it IS totally rad
Love it…what a great gesture! Nice painting too.
thanks trace!
I’m sorry, it’s my first time reading your blog… (love your style btw.) How old is Number One? That is a pretty frickin awesome painting! High-five him for me!
I have a six-year-old son who baffles me consistently. I know NOTHING about boys. I have a feeling you’re going to learn me a thing or two!
welcome!!!
be afraid….. be very afraid
My boys are 11, 9 and 7 1/2. Numbers One, Two, and Three respectively. The husband we call Seven. There is no reason.
Great piece of artwork! Just as a suggestion if he has others he wants to donate maybe you could do an online auction for those of us who are unable to attend the MILF March. Just food for thought.
that is an awesome idea! do you think that would be too “whorey”?
Very talented! It is wonderful and heartwarming when they pick up on the kindness, selflessness, and generosity examples that as moms we practice daily! Be proud, and no its not whorey, its charity lol
