Preoccupations of the 6-year-old female mind

This is a photo taken earlier today of Hannah and Lauren’s easels in our dining room:

Preoccupations of the 6-year-old female mind

(You can see a bigger version here.)

The girls doodle on their easels after most meals but as you can see the central theme doesn’t vary much.

I wonder if anyone can answer the following questions:

(a) Which is Hannah’s easel and which is Lauren’s?
(b) Where are the three pictures of me? (Warning: this one’s tricky.)
(c) How many weddings are depicted?
(d) How many women can you count with long hair?
(e) How many high-heeled shoes?

I only know the answers to a, b and c. I’ll take your word on d and e. :-)

    a wild guess for the (a)question:

    Lauren’s has the red “carpet”, first pic. And Hannah’s is on right(with the light blue apron hanging on easel.

    Spot on, Cindy!

    Now, how about questions (b) to (e)? ;-)

    Hello,
    I’ve dropped in here a few times after looking for twins’ blogs, and was really encouraged to find your girls have my girls’ middle names.

    I’m just in the midst of setting up a new blog about my girls and other stuff to do with twins and would love any comments, I’m sorry I can’t answer the questions, I’ve been a bit overawed by the fact the easels are in the dining room - we put ours outside so the paint goes all over paving slabs as opposed to carpet..which is already covered in every type of crumb known to man.

    all best,

    Linda

    Hi Linda - always nice to see a new reader drop in!

    I should point out that the easels are only used indoors for pen/pencil/crayon use. For paint they get carried outside, or in extreme circumstances (such as a tornado hitting Manchester just as we’re held at gunpoint until we paint) they are used in the dining room, on a big sheet of plastic, and the aprons are deployed.

    Also, we switched from carpet to that wipe-clean laminate flooring a while back. Bet we don’t seem quite so brave now, do we? :)
