Chinese Dragons

Chatterbox announced at 6.30 pm the other night, "Oh, by the way Mummy, I have to draw a large Chinese dragon for assembly and it has to be in tomorrow."

"How large!??"

Why do children leave things so late? Lol.

I think it was something to do with Chinese New Year - which may explain Chatterbox's questions about 'good luck'. I don't believe in 'good luck' and I explained why...I didn't realise the questions had probably sprung from the Chinese New Year 'luck' malarky.

Anyway, not wanting to be left out, Squidge decided to draw one too.

Squidge's dragon - reminds me a bit of a red godzilla.


Chatterbox's dragon




I said to her, "Where's his legs?"

"Chinese dragons don't have legs Mummy!"

I think they do, but I wasn't going to argue - lol. She was a bit miffed when the teacher thought she'd drawn a snake. :) Maybe I should have pressed the point about the legs!

Squidge's dragon had a baby.

It is great to be able to see the wee ones art work.
Great grandmas don't get to see it too often.

Why does everything have to be done the night before? (Glad it's not just this house where we have last minute craft sessions - ha ha)
