Birthday wishes from Geo

 

The next Banksy?

Mommy likes it when we draw on her office walls. Unfortunately, she has to move to a different building, but she saved these pictures we made:

From George at Halloween - note the Despacito Spider

From Henry during a random visit - Pop is so cute!!!

Valentine's Day artwork from Geobeo

"Dear mom, I love the way you are nice. I love cooking with you, and I love [cuddling] with you. But most of all I love you (m) [his nickname for Mommy]." 

"I love you! I love you more [than] Popplio"

H vs. G, coffee edition

While waiting for our breakfast order, Henry and George drew pictures to amuse Mommy. For some reason they made ads for coffee. Note how Henry's ad is for a complete rip-off cup of coffee, while George is offering free coffee/refills AND accepting coupons? It looks like Henry will be a con artist and George will be a philanthropist when they grow up...

Meowth, that's right!

Henry loves his new Chromebook and has been making art with it. Here's something he made for mommy yesterday--her favorite Pokemon character!

Titanic artwork by George

George's depiction of Titanic. Notice that one of the smokestacks isn't blowing smoke? That's because one of them was fake!

Happy Thanksgiving from Richard (ca. 2016)

Here is the card Richard made for Thanksgiving 2016.

"I am thankful for our house, our state and country, too. I am thankful for my toys and games, but most of all, YOU!"

Eclipse

Three months later, George still remembers our eclipse trip vividly and often speaks fondly of Gillette, the town we stayed in. Here is a picture he drew of our family watching the eclipse:

Hard at work or hardly working?

Original Baby Otis

 

Colorful Baby Otis

To keep George entertained, Mommy bought George a sketch pad and markers. Here is a picture he drew of Colorful Baby Otis.

Art of the Pest

While his brothers are lounging on the beach in Oregon, Geo (as his brothers affectionately call him) was hanging out at the Denver Art Museum having fun and enjoying the kid-friendly arts and crafts.

"Homework"

George's latest fad is to do fake "homework," which entails writing in notebooks he filches from his brothers. Henry has been helping him with drawings of George's favorite stuffed animals. Here are some samples:

A is for...

George's latest masterpiece.

Tattoo artists

Check out our tats--the first two are Mommy's feeble attempt at making Plants vs. Zombies art.  The third is Henry's own creation.  Don't worry--they're washable!

Map of Richard's heart

Too bad George and Henry didn't make the cut :)

Snowflakes

Since it doesn't snow very often in Portland, Henry decided to make his own snowflakes out of popsicle sticks! 

DS pictures, Part I

Richard loves to take pictures with his DS, usually of his unsuspecting brothers.  Here are a few of our favorites.

Birthday debacle

Today we finally got around to putting a birthday candle in one of Georgie's cupcakes and singing "Happy Birthday" (only three days late!). 

But then disaster struck. After Mommy put a piece of cupcake in Georgie's mouth, he threw up, causing me to throw up because of my hypersensitive stomach.  To warn everyone that the floor was wet from Mommy's clean-up effort, Henry helpfully made this sign.  (You can make out the letters W-E-T F-L-O-O-R scattered over the page, plus a picture of a crying face to represent how someone would look if he slipped on the floor.)

Finally, after an outfit change, we decided to let Georgie predict his future by putting a pencil, money, and rice in front of him. 

He picked the pencil, despite my urging him to pick the money. Oh well, not everyone can be Rich like me!
