…who is the four-year-old daughter of our good friends Brett and Marci, to draw a family portrait of us (including our three beasts).
What began as one drawing soon turned into nearly two dozen. Brett and Marci were kind enough to send all of them to us.
Apparently, our family’s females (which is everyone but me) became Lucy’s muse.
It was a hard choice, but in the end we decided to frame this one:
Yes, that’s KB walking Mr. Fabulous, Meatshake, and Heisenberg while I tag along, picking up piles of their smelly turds.
As payment, we sent Lucy a gift certificate to a toy store near her hometown. She bought two stuffed animals with her hard-earned money: a fluffy cat she named Cat, and a stingray she named Sea Horse.
This makes Lucy my favorite kid ever.
Just one in a series of commissioned portraits,

Everything about this post is perfect – 4 yr old, drawings, turds, cats out for a walk on a leash, gift certificate and a sting-ray named Seahorse. Oh dear, God, I love kids. Grown-ups – sometimes but kids always

I have to amend something in this post! Marci has informed me that I am NOT picking up poop, but rather cooking marshmallows on a campfire! HAHAHA!

Thanks for the clarification. I am sticking with poop, though.
