Gotta Catch 'Em All

The boy, much like every other person under the age of 12, is slightly obsessed with Pokemon. His interest in Pokemon Go has waned some, but he still loves the characters and the show. I stumbled across a page of Pokemon jokes and knew I had to send some in his lunch.

I can't wait to see his reaction to this one. Hope you have a great Wednesday!

Oh, Holidays

Nothing knocks me off schedule like a long holiday weekend. It kicks my daily writing habit quicker than I would like. So, of course, I missed posting yesterday. It was a really cute one too.

See? And thanks to everyone that sent me this joke. It was cute watching the kids try to figure it out at lunch yesterday.

Today's joke will most likely be easier for them to understand. It doesn't have so many big words. Kids these days have no idea what a thesaurus is. It's just another obscure dinosaur to them!

Thanks again to the friend who sent this joke to me. Keep the recommendations coming! Have a great Tuesday!

Hello Turkey Eve!

Holy short week of school, Batman! Almost forgot to post again too. But remembered in time! It's been a short, crazy week here. Here's the last Thanksgiving joke for this year.

Hope you all have a safe and fun holiday weekend. May your turkeys be juicy and your naps be plenty!

Off to a rocky start

I missed yesterday's post! I had a bit of a crazy day since I got called in to start a new job. It threw my entire schedule out of whack. Never fear, I will give you a double dose of doodles today to make up for it!

Yesterday was all olfactory. My guess it that boy smells pie. I'm baking one tomorrow, and I can't wait for the way my kitchen is going to smell.

Today's doodle brings us back to the turkey.

Sorry for the lapse. Have a great Tuesday!

Show me your best side

Guys. I've been battling a headache all day. I've got no wit to share here.

Here's hoping a nap gets rid of this headache. Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Poor pumpkin

Our poor jack-o-lantern barely made it to Halloween this year. We carved the pumpkin on the 21st, right after we came home from the field trip to the pumpkin patch. It gave us a great 10 days. And then I had to push it into my flower bed, where it landed with a wet plop because it was already filled with mold and half-rotted.

Oh November, forced to witness the yearly slaughter of thousands of good pumpkins. At least some of us also use them for pie. Though most folks simply use the canned stuff which might not even be pumpkin at all. http://www.epicurious.com/ingredients/what-is-in-canned-pumpkin-article

To the legions of discarded pumpkins in the post-Halloween throes of early November, this is for you.

Hope you're having a better Thursday than that poor pumpkin.

Something to sink your teeth into

I made the mistake of allowing the boy to use my laptop while he ate breakfast. Oh, the muffin crumbs! Oh, the sticky mousepad! This mama has learned her lesson. No more computers at mealtimes, even if the boy is using it for homework.

Today's doodle has nothing to do with computers and only slightly relates to muffins, but the current state of my laptop was so distracting, it couldn't go unlamented.

Now who could eat such a cute slice of pie, I ask you. For all of you thinking how delicious that little pie looks, shame on you! Monsters! Just kidding. That pie would be destroyed in two seconds at my house. 

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Pilgrims

It's another brisk fall morning. Most of the trees are bare, and the squirrels and birds have gone into hiding. Every day it feels a little more like Winter. But before we get to snow and reindeer, we've got some thanks to give.

Here's a little pilgrim with a lame mama joke to go with it. Hope you're all enjoying this beautiful Fall weather as much as I am!

Frosty Fall morning

It's happening, folks. Winter is coming. On our walk to school this morning, there was still frost on the ground.

I know there are a lot of Winter haters out there, but even you have to admit, frost and snow are beautiful. 

Today's doodle has nothing to do with Winter since I saw this lovely frost after I'd already packed the boy's lunch. It is still a seasonal joke though.

As Thanksgiving is next Thursday, be prepared for an influx of foul jokes. 

So corny

I feel like this could be the title for just about any of my posts. Corny jokes are the best for young jokesters. They get the humor. I'm a sucker for them too. That's why the title is about more than just the quality of my jokes.

Hope this little fellow helps you dance your way to a wonderful weekend!

It's that time again

I took a handful of pictures on our walk to school this morning. Sunlight shining through autumn leaves is so beautiful. I really do love this time of year.

And that brings me to today's joke. I'm fairly certain I used this one last year. I think about it every Fall. It's one of my favorites.

I hope you're all having a lovely fall day!

We Need All the Smiles Today

We've had a bumpy past couple of days. The boy came home early from school on Thursday. He's been fighting off a nasty cold ever since. On the plus side, I got to see him read his joke and his reaction was awesome.

In addition to the sickness, the boy has had the past two days off from school for a teacher in-service day and election day. So, it feels like a tiny bit of forever since I've drawn a doodle.

I hope this helps give those who need it a laugh today.

I stole this joke from a packet of oatmeal. Thought it was super cute. Happy Wednesday everyone.

Right foot, blue

The boy has developed a fascination for storms. He asks to watch videos of floods and tidal waves. He loves reading books about tornadoes and hurricanes. Due to this newfound love, we recently purchased an early reader about storms so he could read about them on his own. I read through it with him recently and discovered they have a few weather jokes in there. Of course, I decided to use them for mamadoodles.

Hope you have a great Thursday!

I can math

It's no secret that math isn't my strong suit. However, the boy has turned me into a human calculator. One of his favorite games is to quiz me with math problems.

"Mama, what's twenty plus twenty?"

"What's one thousand plus two hundred?"

"What seven times seven?"

My life is a giant math review.

When a friend shared this joke with me, I knew immediately that it would make an appearance in the boy's lunch.

Thanks for sharing the joke with me, Kelly! Hope you're all having a great Wednesday!

Air Mail

Whew. Still trying to recover from all of yesterday's excitement. Very thankful that the boy wanted to buy lunch today since we were a bit rushed this morning. He did bring an afternoon snack from home, so I tucked today's doodle in with his snack.

This joke is actually from a popsicle stick. The boy got the popsicle from Boo at the Zoo (even though it was freezing.) I thought it would make a fun doodle.

Hope you all are recovering from all of the Halloween hoopla!
