Three more days...already?

For some reason, Easter is the boy's favorite holiday. I think it's because he loves to hunt for eggs. We have egg hunts all year long. He's been counting down the days until the big egg hunt. Meanwhile, I can't believe it's already Easter. Where has this year gone?

At our house, the magic of Easter doesn't really end. It lives on in the egg hunts that we have all year long. 

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Remember how I said it was time to retire the Star Wars jokes for a while? I decided to go with something a little more seasonal.

In case you didn't know, there are delightfully cheesy Easter jokes. Most of them deal with rabbits and chicks, but they're all fun plays on words that the boy likes.

My trusty Micron pen is starting to die, so I apologize for the pale ink. It's also why there is a splash of color. Couldn't finish the heart in black. Hope everyone had a hoppy Wednesday!

Angry Jedi

Because of the unexpected sickness last week, I had some extra doodles. (I had drawn a few ahead of time to give me some extra time in the mornings.) Today's doodle is the last of the Star Wars jokes for at least a few days.

I'm sure the Star Wars jokes will resume at some point, but I'm retiring them for a bit. I need some time to think of new material. Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Spotting a typo

On our way home from school yesterday, I asked the boy if he liked his joke. He recited it form memory, and then laughed. I judged it t o be a success. However, then he said, "I think you meant when he gets a chocolate chip in his fur, Mama."

I have to admit, I think he's right. I'm pretty sure the boy caught a typo today. My four year old is now correcting my grammar. I created a monster.

Now that the plague fog has lifted

The boy caught a cold earlier this week. For us, that means, we had to break out the nebulizer. He was stuck at home for two days. I kept packing lunches, with the hope that he would take them to school, and they kept being eaten at home. This doodle has been waiting for three days to make its debut.

Elephants + Star Wars = a sure hit for the boy. It was the perfect end to a not so perfect week. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

In anticipation of warmer weather

Mother Nature gave us a big tease last week. We had temps in the 80s, and it was wonderful. She seems to have remembered that it's only early Spring though, and this week it has been chilly with plenty of rain. That taste of summer was lovely though, especially since it snowed earlier that week!

Those warm days got me thinking about summer and swimming, and might have been the inspiration for today's joke and doodle.

Of course, the doodle could also have everything to do with the fact that the boy and I both love elephants.  Hope you had a great day!

I scream, you scream

We went to an amazing birthday party over the weekend. It was at an ice cream factory. No, really, and we have a pint of vanilla ice cream in the fridge that the boy helped make. To top it off, it was Star Wars themed. I think it may have been the boy's favorite day ever.

There's a joke that I'd been saving (mostly because I wasn't sure how I was going to illustrate it), and I felt like today was its day to shine.

When I picked the boy up, he was making variations of this joke to varying degrees of success. I think the one that made him laugh the hardest was booty cream. That's one doodle I won't be sending to school with his lunch!
