NEVER Leave Paper Lying Around My House

This is why I can never leave paper lying around the house. The kids will find it and doodle on it. More cat pictures to come, once I can track them all down.

The Room Cleaning

Each Christmas, I tackle a home improvement project, because I've got the forced time off work. This year, we decided on painting our youngest's bedroom because he was the one who got stuck with the pink and green room when we moved into our new house in February. He's now got an orange and yellow room. And because we organized his stuff when we moved it all back in, I got a crop of drawings with which I can make a final blitz on this blog for 2012. Enjoy.

Grumpiest. Caroler. Ever.

Our youngest says this is me, singing a Christmas carol. Neither one of us know why I appear so grumpy.

Of course, seeing the original drawing, which he traced - then added legs to - helps explain why.

Birdie Girl

Who can resist a drawing of a girl with birds on her arms -- and she's not even peg-legged!
