Dino-mite!!

Yesterday morning, I awoke to the gentle touch of the boy slamming his head into my face with the force of a thousand dinosaurs.  Seriously, my cheek is bruised.  It hurts when I smile or yawn.  It was not the best way to start my morning.

In honor of my thick-headed face masher, I drew one of the thousand dinos that helped lead the charge against my cheek yesterday.

Parenthood in a nutshell: allowing your child to fall asleep in your bed even though he just battered your face.  It's unconditional love, folks.

Brrrraaaains!

I tried something new this morning.  I asked the boy what he would like me to draw on his napkin today.  I expected another cartoon character or an animal. Imagine my surprise when he requested "a dead zombie."

I went for a friendly looking fellow from the plants vs. zombies game.  They're zombies that aren't super gross and are more acceptable at the lunch table.

I really just hope his teachers don't hate me now.

Hello, old friend

Over the weekend, the boy's passion for Blue's Clues was suddenly rekindled.  I think amidst the Ninjago and Minecraft craze, he had forgotten poor Blue existed.  I let him watch an episode while we had breakfast this morning.  He sings the songs, and shouts out answers to all of Joe's questions now.  He never did that before.  It's cute to see him so interactive with the show.

Did I still sneak a pun in there? You betcha. Probably should have drawn this one in blue pen, but I've been using the same pen, everyday, since school started.  Decided to stick with tradition and keep it black and white.

Hope everyone is having a magnificent Monday!

Space Oddity

My little man truly is a wild thing, a force of nature that devastates the living room every day without fail.  His energy levels are out of this world and inspired today's doodle.

A cute little extraterrestrial for my crazy guy.  Hope your weekend brings you some cosmic fun!

Aww, nuts!

The boy loves to eat nuts, and I love puns, so why not combine the two? Seems like a reasonable plan.

Stumbled across these guys on a website that sells pun posters. Yes, they devoted a site entirely to puns. I thought the little peanuts were sweet.  More doodles inspired by the pun posters may surface as the weeks go by. They had a plethora of cute posters.  

Wild and wonderful

For reasons I don't quite understand, the walrus has always been one of my favorite animals.  I know I would most likely be mauled to death by their tusks if I ever encountered one, but they're so roly poly and friendly looking, even with the sharp weapons of destruction attached to their faces.

I decided to share the cuteness that is the walrus with the boy today.

I am a firm believer that everything is more adorable with a tophat. Also, I couldn't think of a clever walrus pun, especially one the boy would understand.  So, hooray for alliteration! Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!!

Terrrrrific!

The boy's school was closed yesterday so they could hold parent/teacher conferences. Hence, no doodle.  We did get to have a nice sit down with his teacher, and learned that he's not a jerk to the other kids and listens to the teachers most of the time.  Overall, a pretty good report. 

I decided to revive the terrible puns because I love them.  It doesn't matter that they're incredibly cheesy.  Also, the boy has recently discovered jokes and humor, and actually gets puns every once in a while. It won't be long before he doesn't find me funny at all, so I have to embrace the lame mom humor while I can.

Sorry about the crazy brightness. It was very sunny in our apartment this morning.  Hope everyone had a grrrrrrrreat Tuesday!
