This is what Julia drew after watching Bedtime Stories:

“Those would be big on a cow.”

Owbama

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

I try to keep the blog apolitical, but I couldn’t resist. It was completely unsolicited.

Just so it’s clear, this blog endorses neither political party and the only political opinion Julia has offered is that that maverick Palin lady is pretty.

Water Towers, Pt. 2

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

I found this in Julia’s sketchbook.

Left to right: Weston, Conrad (who is smaller than Weston), Claire, Rich, and Julia.

Pictionary

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

We’re playing Pictionary. Weston is drawing and I’m guessing. Weston draws the following sketch, puts his pencil down, and says he’s finished.

The word is “bottom.”

Llama Dog

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

I asked Julia to draw a dog (a French bulldog — not a poodle!), and she draws a llama skeleton….and, as always, it looks hungry.

trees

I’d like to think Claire trusts me with MOST things. When she sent me to Oregon to find a place to live, she sent my brother along to be sure I didn’t do anything…well, not bad necessarily…just weird. Her criteria was a good school district. Mine was a big tree or a funky space that I could make into my man cave. One of the places we looked at had about a zillion trees that were each about a zillion feet tall. If one of them fell, it would easily break the poor little house into a zillion pieces.

ps – The title of this post comes from the movie Some Kind of Wonderful.

Now I’m worried.
