Thanks Mom!

Thanks mom for allowing me to pin a towel to my back, gel my hair and tie a who knows what over my face, wear undies over my pants, and pretend I can fly! Thanks for inspiring my creativity. Also, thanks for not letting me go out in public like that and protecting me from bullies. My brothers and I needed a mother like you.

Good weekend in the neighborhood.

It was a good weekend just being outside with the kiddos and neighbors in the hood we live in.  I recommend loving where you hang your house!

Back to carrots.

Now that the Easter candy is gone and Spring Break is over it is back to it. 

Happy Easter!

Good luck finding all those eggs.

Return.

And then HE came back!

It's about time to be a trooper.

It's almost that time of year where I start to get a tad bit more busy.  Coaching High School Soccer, Art Club, Before School Sports Program, being an Art Teacher, teaching Sunday School, Illustrating a book, AND of course being a husband to my wife and a father to four little girls.  So the best thing to do is just put on that uniform and start blasting!    

Hello leap day.

Capable.

Yeah....you CAN fly (you just have to jump).

Fluid.

Mondays and out of coffee.  It is the absolute worst day for this.  The greatest thing about this is that I am free and can put forth the effort to go get some somewhere, IF I want to put forth the effort.  What deserves effort in your life?  Today I choose to battle the coffee shark! 

Happy President's Day!

I appreciate leadership.

Twitter.

Choose your battles.

Fighting one of those squeaky soccer balls is just one of those choices we have to choose daily.  When to fight when not to.  Think, feel, then fight. 

Blessings!

Sometimes it is just nice to realize that your days are blessings.  The sun comes up for a reason.

Forward.

Slowly, but forward.  Isn't that better than fast, and backwards?

All business.

 

Cartoon business.

Nosey.

 

Here is a cartoon tip:  start out with the nose and then see what happens. 

My goal.

Watch a game a week with all my soccer gear on!

I don't know.

I suppose I should write something here about nuts, but I won't.

Maybe next year Pack.

A good thing to remember when your favorite team loses is that someone else's favorite team wins.  We should be happy for others.  In this case Giants fans, yay.  

Give more.

Captain Handy.

Roll Tide?

The college football national championship is tonight and I find myself rooting for Alabama because that is my dad's old stomping ground. Which means that is my old stomping ground, actually I never have stomped there, I've been there plenty, just never stomped. Either way you should take pride in where you stomp.

Time to pull out the tricks!

My brothers and I are on our way to play in our annual three on three soccer tournament up North.  But the only trick we try to pull is the one where our bodies don't fall apart.  It's fun getting older and trying to do the things we have been doing since we were six years old.  We will see who pulls something first! 

Merry Christmas 2011

Christmas of 1980 something, we had a chimney fire and we had all the fire trucks here to put it out as we watched in our PJ's out in the snow.  I remember most of the block coming out to see what all the commotion was.  The scene was a little bit of a blurr because all I cared about was that my new Castle Grey Skull that Santa brought me was safe!  That was a close one.  Anyway, Merry Christmas!

This is a villain I am working on.  Okay....I should probably give credit to Star Wars for this one.  It is good to be inspired though.  I was planning on doing a landscape painting as a gift to someone and this happened instead.  Inspiration is a funny thing, you never know where it might come from.  Maybe I will do that landscape thingy tomorrow.
