Grooooovin'

I forgot that the boy has a short week of school this week. Tomorrow and Friday, the staff is at a conference in Chicago. So, that means no more doodles for the week.  So, before I enjoy a nice long weekend (from doodles at least), I'll leave this last one here for you.

Hope the rest of your week is wonderful! See you back here on Monday!

Letter Games

We had an unexpected power outage in our building this morning. Like, the entire building, with no power for over two hours. Luckily, the lights didn't go out until after I had made breakfast and lunches, so there's still a doodle today! Huzzah! I was told that the boy had a hard time being coaxed out of the apartment into the dark hallway when it was time to leave for school. Blackouts are scary.

I wish today's doodle had something to do with the dark or lights, but it doesn't.

It does have two cute little critters though. Fingers crossed that we don't lose power again tomorrow morning. Wandering through a dark hall at 6:30 in the morning is just creepy.

Boo hoo!

This joke seemed like such a good idea at the time. It's a simple play on words that I knew the boy would understand, and I was pretty certain he would think it was funny. I asked him about it when I picked him up from school today, and he told me that he liked it. I was relieved.

It turns out that illustrating the joke was more difficult than I expected. No matter how I figured it, someone was going to have to be crying.

I'm just glad it didn't creep him out. That laughing kid sure looks like a jerk. I feel like this joke is meaner than I remember...

Last joke of the week!

Since yesterday was a bust, I decided to go back to a subject near and dear to the boy's heart. That means more Star Wars humor, of course!

I wasn't surprised when the boy said he liked this joke. You can't go wrong if Star Wars is involved. Plus, Ewoks are adorable. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Out of his depth

So, the joke I sent with the boy today was a miss. It was a play on words that he didn't get. It was far better than the terrible pun in the blog's title, but he didn't get it, so he didn't think it was funny.

You can win all the time, right? I guess this just means I have to come up with a great one for tomorrow to make up for it!

Pb&J

One of the boy's all time favorite lunches is peanut butter and jelly. In retrospect, I probably should have packed that to go with today's doodle.  Instead, he got leftover carrot and broccoli pizza that we made with garlic naan last night. I should have thought my theme through a bit more.

Lava-ble!

I never thought that volcanoes could be cute, until Pixar proved me wrong. The lava short before Inside Out made them so loveable. I'm pretty sure that Lava video helped make this joke so appealing to me.

My own little lava-ble lava factory! Who couldn't love that face? That little guy would never rain a fiery death of burning magma and ash onto you, right? Right? Maybe volcanoes aren't as cute as I thought...
