Good Dinosaur

My sister treated us to The Good Dinosaur this weekend.  In traditional Pixar fashion, it made me cry. It was like The Land Before Time meets The Wild Thornberrys. There is much sadness followed by an epic quest and life lessons are learned along the way.  The boy told me he liked it except for all of the scary parts.

I drew Spot and Arlo today since the movie is still so fresh in all of our memories.  

I'll Have You Know...

The boy asked me if he could make a doodle request today.  I said, 'of course, what would you like me to draw?'  He considered for less than a minute and said, 'Spongebob Roundpants---no, Spongebob Squarepants."

He wouldn't have been my first choice, but I didn't want to disappoint the boy, especially since he never makes requests.

His eye look a little Clockwork Orange-ish, but overall, I'm happy with how the little guy turned out.

Today is the boy's last day of school this week.  His school is closed for the next three days so everyone can celebrate Thanksgiving.  That means, it will be about a week before I post any new doodles.  Hope everyone has a happy turkey day.  Eat much and loosen belts often!

The doodle that almost wasn't

We started this morning off with a pink eye scare.  The boy awoke with an eye crusted shut and proceeded to freak out when he couldn't get it to open.  A warm wash cloth had him quickly cleaned up, and the eye uncrusted.  However, it was still pink and puffy.  Cue a call to school and the doctor.

Luckily the doc assured us that it's not pink eye, just a byproduct of some angry sinuses.  Huzzah. With doctor note in hand, I rushed home, changed the boy into his uniform, packed a quick lunch and carted him off to school.

This little guy went with him.

Another week gone

Today was the boy's first official school picture day. He told me he stuck his tongue out because there weren't any parents watching and that made it ok.  I'm very interested to see what the pictures look like once they come in.

I decided to stick with the food theme I inadvertently adopted this week...well, sort of.  I found another popsicle stick joke that I thought the boy would appreciate, so I went with that.

I know what you're thinking, "that's a doodle of a tree." And you'd be right.  However, there are apples growing on that tree, and apples are food, so this technically counts as a food doodle. 

I hope everyone had a great week, and that your weekend is amazing. See you on Monday :)

Gummy

Since I've apparently adopted a food theme for this week, I decided to keep it going for another day. I also kicked my pun game up a notch.

I'm thinking I might toss jokes in more often.  I guarantee that they will all be the cheesy kind that you find on popsicle sticks. Those are the best.  And just because I'm in a dad joke mood tonight, How do you make a tissue dance?

Put a little boogey in it!

That's my favorite popsicle stick joke ever. Hope you had a great Thursday!

Mmmmm...pie

Somehow, no matter how early I get out of bed, we are always in a rush to get to school.  I had an hour and thirty minutes to serve breakfast, make a lunch, and get the boy and I dressed.  It's plenty of time.  Yet, when I finally sat down with a bowl of cereal and looked at the clock, we had less than fifteen minutes until go time.  And the boy wasn't dressed.  And I had no doodle.  We were a whirlwind after that, cereal and clothes flying everywhere. So, I chose something simple and sweet for the daily napkin.

Today's doodle has food and puns, which I love, but I'm just not satisfied with it.  

The pie looks so friendly, while the apple looks like an angry bully.  Maybe he's upset because someone took a bite out of him. I'm not really sure.  One thing I do know: I fail at time management.

Hey, cupcake!

The boy and I were a bit pressed for time this morning.  By the time lunch was packed, and breakfast served, I found I had less than twenty minutes to draw a doodle and get the boy dressed for school.  I googled cute drawings and sketched one of the first ones that came up.

Such a cute little cupcake :)

Hoping I have more time tomorrow morning so I don't have to draw so feverishly quick! Also hope everyone's week is off to a good start!
