I keep scrolling through it because the artwork is so amazing! And it’s not opposite day.
-
I know, you’re attention to detail is amazing!
-
Thank you Rae :)
-
-
Thanks, Heather :)
-
-
I have to go back and look at these more than once so I can see all the details. Love the dog eating the homework.
-
Thanks, Paprika! But that’s actually my sister’s beloved pound puppy by a hand-written note, a little nod to Ashley’s blog project which tells a story through a series of passed notes.

I was wondering why Chrissy was being so nice……you got me, too!
-
Me too!
-
Me tooooooooooooo!

Ha ha ha ha…that’s so funny!!And I am so glad you put this up,I was online and bored,and now I am online and happy!:)
-
:) Glad to help!
-
-
I can’t believe you outed your sister for not being a natural blonde! [shakes head sadly]
-
Hahaha… hey, she got off light!
-
-
Awesome! Great ending!
-
Thank you!
-
-
Your posts never cease to amaze me and make me laugh! This was fantastic – the facial expressions alone were enough to make this post. :D
-
Thanks! I’ve been learning this cut-paper craft as I go along, so I hope the illustrations will continue to improve. The facial expressions are so important to get right, so I’m glad to hear I’m hitting the mark!
-
-
I knew something was up based on how absolutely unimpressed and bored she is, hahaha! And look, a Gameboy! :)
Now who’s the one with the scab on her knee?-
Yeah, who’s the one with the scab on the knee? That’s real detail!
-
I think that’s Ashley.
-
Yup, that’s Ashley :)

-
Love it.
Your artistical papery craftiness is superb!-
Thank you, Rosemary! That is so nice :)
-
-
I love Chrissy’s look of nonchalance!
-
I have all her faces etched in my brain. Nonchalance is one of her best.
-
-
I tell that stick joke sometimes too… It goes over better when your audience has had a beer or two. :)
-
Well, yes. My kids first answer was. pooh. -And they are nowhere near beer age.
-
I still like that joke :)
-
-
Enjoyed the story. The sisters are so real. And, as always, loved the illustrations.
Thanks!-
Thank you, Monica!

My brother still tries to pull that one on me… This was adorable (:
-
Haha, that’s pretty adorable, too.
-
-
Wow! Always wonderful to see something fresh and inventive! What a great story but amazing paper characters!
-
Thanks, Sarah :)
-
-
Hahaha!! I got to introduce this to my boys!!
Can you believe I never even heared of opposite day? – Amazing.
Love the gameboy and the little letter under the bed…-
It’s fun to be able to pass down these weird “kid culture” traditions to children.
-
-
Fantastic. Love the video game in the background. I was introduced to Opposite Day by Spongebob. I have very sophisticated tastes in TV.
-
Thanks to Spongebob, we also have Opposite Day regularly. I always speak like Squidward to give it all substance. My kids are going to love this post.
-
Thanks! So you never had to experience Opposite Day as a child, then? You missed out on a lot of torment.
-
-
HAHAHAHA! I remember the day my kid sister pulled the opposite day one on me! lol! I still have a good laugh at myself thinking about it. Nice! :)
-
Thanks! Opposite Day is a great classic childhood prank :)
-
-
Ha! Oh I can relive so many memories with this!!!!! Your talent is incredible on so many levels!
-
I’m so glad it brings back some memories for you!
-
-
My kids do this to each other all the time. They have opposite day randomly.
Love the little details, as usual: the scab on knee, the gameboy, dog eating letter/ homework – couldn´t read it, the waving and ready bracelet, the kiddy drawing on the wall, the…-
Opposite Day can strike at any time!
-
-
Loved how I knew it was Donkey Kongm great work!
-
Wow, you must really know your Donkey Kong!
-
I remember when Donkey Kong was worlds and light-years beyond Pong! Loved the bracelet – great as always!
-
-
-
Is that a friendship bracelet or one of those ribbon barrettes she is making? Do you remember those? I’m guessing it had to be a bracelet. As always, you never cease to amaze with your art and uncanny ability to capture the minute miseries of childhood. My kids are perfecting these skills daily. Love it!
-
She’s making a friendship bracelet… for herself! :)
-
-
I thank you ! I am going to show this to my older step daughter ….maybe the threat of her attitude being fodder for her sister’s blog in 20 years will mello her a bit. Fabulous artwork, as usual !
-
Haha, good luck!
-
-
I still have a pretty big scar from that cut on my knee. Also, of course there’s a note under my bed. I wish Cocoa wasn’t so nosy!
-
How do you expect Cocoa to properly protect and comfort you if he doesn’t know every last detail of your life? Honestly, Ashley.
-
How did that cut on Ashley’s knee? I find that most scars have good stories behind them. For example, when I was nine, I got chicken pox. I was told not to scratch, because it’d scar, and I really, REALLY tried not to, but my biggest and itchiest spot was on my forehead, right between my eyes, so I just couldn’t resist scratching that one spot. So, now I’m 27, and that scar is still there, despite my ALMOST perfect compliance to the “no scratching” rule. By the way, Nicole, you should do a story about chicken pox sometime.

Ha ha ha!!! Brilliant! You are extremely talented!

Thank you, I’m glad you like it!

That’s SO funny……..by the way, I know the way out of the “opposite day” trap. When I lived in Australia, I volunteered briefly in “Creative Classes” at a local elementary school, and in the Year One class (grade one, first grade, six-year-olds, whatever you want to call it), there was a table of rowdy boys who’d throw things at each other and generally cause chaos. Thus gave rise to the following exchange:
ME: Please don’t throw the markers at each other. Pass them nicely.
ROWDY BOY: It’s opposite day, so you meant DON’T pass the markers nicely, and throw them!!!
ME: Well, if you said that it’s opposite day, on opposite day, then that means it’s NOT opposite day!!! So, pass the markers nicely.
-
Haha! Great comeback!
-
Ha, the ol’ “Opposite Day Paradox.”
-
-
P.S., I don’t see the dog eating homework.
-
Oh, never mind–there it is. :)
-
-
What’s the blond girl making anyway?
-
A friendship bracelet!
-
-
The bedroom with the Gameboy, notebook paper and Pound Puppy (making his second appearance)! The braided friendship bracelets! Oh, your details were 1st rate! I mean, they always are. But if you compare you to you, you’ve outdone yourself!
-
Chrissy made killer friendship bracelets. I tried to do a more complex one, but the paper kept ripping!
-
I think you did a swell job!
-
-
-
I love everything about your blogs, bit in this one loved the doll on the bed.
Ronnie
-
Thanks! That’s Charlotte’s beloved doll Millie who met her bitter end in the savage maw of our neighbor’s dog.

So, did all five of you girls really share a room, or did the other four share, while you had your own? In “Alligators Under the Bed,” the Nicole character (a.k.a. you) appeared to have her own room, but in every other story, she lives in the big room with the bunk beds. I never quite understood that.
-
At the beginning of “Alligators,” I explain that I had my own room only once and that I didn’t like it. All five of us never shared a room, but four of us did for several years.
-
Oh, okay. I wrote a poem about the “alligators under the bed” thing a while ago. Here’s the link: http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/1418197-Allan-and-the-Alligators

Bahaha!! Good ol opposite day. I LOVE how you always capture a little piece of my childhood in your posts. I so look forward to reading them! And looking at them. :) You are very talented!
-
I remember opposite day. Oh the things I’m looking forward too as Jaydon grows up. =;~)

If it’s opposite day then it wouldn’t be opposite day because someone said that it was Opposite Day.
