i asked annie what these drawing were about….
"this is mommy getting the babies cut out of her tummy"
"she was so surprised that she had 3 babies in her tummy"
"she is holding her 3 babies and she is crying because she just loves them so much!"
but then there was this one….
i wasn't quite sure how to feel about THIS drawing.
"that mom is telling him GO TO YOUR ROOM and he is crying IT WASNT MY FAULT"
hmmmm.
kat - These are so hilarious!!!
Alaina - That is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!! I about peed my pants laughing! Love the huge pointy finger!!!!
Liana - OMG. She is a better artist than me. Seriously. Love the hand on hip and pointing finger…and the angry eyebrows. Awesome! She is creative like her momma. Thanks for sharing.
Laura Phelps - FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t feel badly about the last one…when Jack was seven he had to draw a family portrait.
He drew the ENTIRE family, hanging by THREADS, from a TREE.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm……………………….
julia - the last one is my favorite…Jokingly, I asked my son {who’s bigger than me} a few months ago if he was scared of me. He said, “yeah, a little”
Courtney - Oh my GOSH 🙂
susie whyte - the crying and the yelling mom’s are awesome. you have to frame these. 🙂
Micah - No.Way. These are incredibly awesome. Don’t ever take these to a psychologist ;). Too funny.
candace - Annie’s drawing skills are quite advanced for a preschooler! She will likely be an advanced reader too!
The story is great. Are you making them into a book for her? 🙂
Courtney Walsh - that made me laugh out loud.
how funny!!! I love the big pointer finger on the last picture. hahahhaa
Beth Ann - I am cracking up!!!!
amy jupin - i love the pic of the happy crying momma. happy and crying. definitely you.
but the angry momma…oh my. she looks like she needs a latte and one of pw’s cinnamon rolls!
sandy toe - Very cute…I think we would have the same pictures here.

Melanie - Very cute. Makes ya think doesn’t it?
Rebekah - Oh boy! So very funny. 🙂
Cindy - No need to worry. She lives in a house with big brothers and sisters. Awesome art! The one of the mom crying with joy for her babies is so touching.
Krista - Love the angry face and pointed finger on the Mom!
Bernice - Haha those are so cute.. she is so talented!
Gemma - Heeheeheee…so cute!

Charlotta - Amazing detail and expression in these drawings!
Impressive!
I too have a very artistically talented child and love what comes out. Sometimes it is confrontational, and there is always a lot to learn.
Kids are so insightful aren’t they!
x Charlotta
Jeanne - Can’t stop laughing!!!
april - this is funny..my girlfriend just had triplets….lols
Julie - I agree others comments that Annie has real talent as an artist. She has captured expressions and body language in a unique way. None of my five children could have drawn that at five. That’s raw talent!
Jennifer - Your daughter is quite the artist! She is expressing herself-at least she has an outlet for that. All parents lose their temper at some point, you aren’t mean or bad for this. A parent has to discipline-at least the drawing isn’t of you beating her! 🙂
Joni Lane - her perspective of the hand on the hip is HILARIOUS. love it.
thanks for sharing.
siew - OMG. Those are absolutely fabulous. I love the angry eyebrows on the last one. You don’t even need a translation with that one!
Rachel @ Pencil Shavings - This is absolutely hilarious.
I was a serious artist during the sermons at church. I liked to draw pictures for the pastor and run to give them to him afterwards. Apparently around the age of 8 or so, we had my cat neutered and I guess this was a rather momentous event to my 8 year old brain because I drew a whole picture about the cat getting fixed with a description about why the cat had to be fixed (“Because it removes his hormones and he won’t be so wild with the other cats around the neighborhood”). When my pastor did our premarital counseling, he almost laughed til he cried. He had kept a lot of those drawings of mine, and then their house burned down and he lost them.
But he still remembered!
maribeth - i love listening to children tell about their art. it is so fascinating, so straight forward, so real. annie’s drawings are great, so detailed.
Julie - Annie is a great artist! Those faces are so expressive!
Nancy M - I love the mom’s hair, and the finger pointing toward the bedroom. Has Annie had lessons? I do not draw that well, and I’m 45.
Elizabeth - Those are adorable. And I’m so scared to imagine what my boys would draw me doing as I constantly holler at them to pick up, etc.
Jen - Love the illustrations… and translations…. Keep them for when she is a mom!
Amanda - Wow! She is an amazing artist.
AshleyAnn - That is simply awesome…all of them. Triplets…go for it…what is 3 more after 5?
patti - seriously, annie has some talent. my 5 year old doesn’t draw this well…at all. she’s good at flowers and bugs, but people…forget it.
Lisa - Were you concerned about the 3 babies in mummys tummy? Is she prophetic???? Haha funny muchly.
Routhie - Just another sign you are doing your job right. What a sweetie.
Staci - Seriously, those pics are super cute 😉 SUPER CUTE!!!!!!!
Tara - we’ve had similar drawings at our house…not sure whether to laugh or cry when they show up. 🙂
Amy J. - That’s awesome! Thanks for the laugh… although, I shouldn’t be laughing. I also learn so much about my daughter’s perspective on life from my her drawings!
Janie Fox - Really cute. Makes me wish I’d kept more of my kids art work.
Melissa - hahahaha!! Really… too cute!
Lisa - I particularly love the hand on the hip in the last one! Great job, Annie!
Danielle Townsend - That is SOOO funny!
Annie is a really great artist! (seriously)
Pati - Those are so adorable..! I also have to say that annie is a very good artist for her age!
