"My momma did it"

Those beautiful words came out of my daughter's mouth today at her art class, blaming it on momma!  This was Emma's last day of her 4-week (once a week) watercolor art class.  Mother & child go together and mommy usually just sits and watches and can help when needed.  Well, the children painted a nice blue background and then traced out a vase and painted it another color and then added green stems coming out of the vase and were to paint flowers.  Emma decided to paint a blue flower, but against the blue background it didn't show up, so I offered assistance in getting the background back to blue and suggested she color a flower of a different color for it to show up.  Well, Emma kept playing around and the teacher came over and told Emma that her blue flower didn't show up against the background and to try again and those words, "My momma did it."  Blaming me for her non-flower!  It was really quite cute and the mother next to me just started laughing.  I just laughed b/c when she said it, she gave me an eye roll, like I got her in trouble and she made it clear that it was my fault her picture was a little messy.  But you know watercolors are wonderful and you can fix it really nice and make a very beautiful picture.  I think I will frame this one!

And another one Emma did (with no help from momma!)
