The Funny Things Kids Say and Do... Doodles

The Mini Mes had a successful start to the academic year with them both settling in to their new classes well and liking their new teachers - woohoo! 

At the end of last week Jamster returned home with some of the artwork he had created during the first two days at school. He told me that he was allowed to draw whatever he wanted. 

So he drew a Kangaroo... 

A dog covered in spikes... 

And his friend stood on the toilet peering over into another cubicle...

Apparently this didn't actually happen (thankfully) but his friend is in fact a spy and this was his secret mission! 

I love his imagination. 

How have your children settled in at school?

The Funny Things Kids Say and Do... Woodlice and Harry Potter

Going through the Mini Mes school bags at the end of term I found pencil cases with half of the pens now missing, notebooks with doodles all over them and quite a few pieces of work that they had done during the year scrunched up into balls to bring home on the last day!

Having unfolded them for a peek into their lives behind the gates with their teachers, I found myself having a little giggle at some of the things they had written (and drawn!)...

Under this woodlouse picture Jamster had written;


Appearance: They look a bit like big ants, they have hard shells and big eyes.

Diet: Woodlice like to eat wood. That's where they got their name from. If they lived near the seaside their favourite food would be seaweed.

Habitat: They live in logs, stones and damp leaves.


I don't think David Attenborough needs to worry just yet!



I also found Jamster's thoughts on Harry Potter, but I think he may have recalled the movies slightly different

to how I remember...



When I entered the castle I had to make my breakfast myself and I had a hot chocolate.

When I was cooking in the kitchen I called Ron and I said "I'm making hot chocolates for all of you". When I touched the door it will open!

The next few weeks fly by.

Ron wanted to know where my pigeon was. I was already in my quidditch clothes ready to play quidditch but my quidditch broom was being wicked!

I'm back at Hogwarts where I nearly got killed in the quidditch game "Ron, do you think I can go back to the quidditch game?" Only time will tell!


Sounds like a movie box office hit, don't you think?!

What funny things has your little one created at school?

How the Mini Mes see me

I was tagged by the lovely Family Four Fun to join in with a great meme based on how our children view us. I love the Mini Mes doodles so this is one I was keen to join in with especially to see what they thought about me... eek!!

Jamster's picture...

I'd hoped the open arms were due to always being there for hugs but apparently it's because 'you are quite big mum' Cheers son!

I'd also hoped the bald patch was just a minor sketching error but 'you will be bald soon as you are getting old mum' .... again, thanks! I'm only 27.

Atleast I'm smiling in the picture.

Minxy's picture...

The hair here is about right as I have a side parting meaning one side is thicker at the front usually.
The big ears are unfortunately accurate too!
I was told that 'You're not grumpy mum you just have big lips from your lip gloss'. Again probably right! I did ask why I didn't have any clothes and Minxy said ' Your boobs are always hanging out anyway'. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked!

Anyone is welcome to join in and link up but I'd like to tag...
