Excellent balancing tricks and popcorn.

I was round at Derek's house the other day watching a film, when his Mum gave us some POPCORN. (Which was a TREAT - YEAH!)

We ate loads of it then got REALLY thirsty (as you do).
So we went to get a drink of water from the kitchen.
Derek's dog Rooster was there and Derek wanted to show me a trick
he'd been trying to teach him.

(I'm not sure which part of "STAY" Rooster didn't understand?)

So we went back to watch the rest of the film - only to find Derek's DAD ASLEEP
on the sofa!

















Derek suggested instead of watching the film - we should play the popcorn balancing game instead.

We managed to make a pretty impressive POPCORN TOWER in-between snores.
Ha! Ha!







I thought Mr Fingle was good at balancing stuff on his head... 
but this cat is a GENIUS.

Granddad's hobby

MY granddad Bob likes to play the spoons.

(Pg90 in Everything's Amazing (sort of)) It's not as easy as it looks!

I thought he was the only person who did this....
I was WRONG. Check out this lady Deb "SPOONS" Perry from Australia plays the spoons too - here she is feeding emus as well (in case you're wondering.)

More Doodle Fun stuff

I know I know... it's been AGES!
But, you'll be glad to know I've been VERY busy irritating Delia, drawing, doodling and generally getting more excellent ideas for all sorts of good stuff
which I'll be posting soon.

Back at school now, but managed to do this on the beach while I was on holiday.
I thought it was pretty good and I was just taking this picture when some kid came over and STEPPED right on my head. Which ruined it and was a bit annoying.

Dad said I was very good not to get CROSS about my sand face destruction. 
"You can build another one Tom" (Which was true).
Then he patted me on the head and said 

"That's my boy" 

in a really silly growly voice which was a bit unexpected and slightly alarming.

Mum told me that Dad was pretending to be the dog from the Tom And Jerry cartoons

like that was a perfectly reasonable explanation, (it's not).

Luckily, Tom and Jerry are a lot funnier than Dad's voice.

See what you think? ...



(This is from youtube.)

LOVE this doodle!

This isn't MY drawing (shame).
But it's SO cool I wanted to add it my BLOG. It makes me want to try to do some more STOP frame animations.
Actually I haven't done any yet - maybe I"ll have to try and do one now? I have a bit of free time.
Watch this space!

The Fossils + Presents = More Fun Than I Thought.

When Granny Mavis said she had a small present for me
I got a bit EXCITED!

Then Granny said, "I saw THESE  And thought of YOU! close your eyes Tom." 
(Which made me think it could be more than one present?) 
Then Granny gave me...
A DRUM and a NEW GUITAR.

I do my "WOW that's AMAZING!"face. Even though I can see they are both TOYS for little kids.

I have a go at the drums anyway.
Which is a LOT more fun  than I expected.

The noise was annoying Delia (always a bonus.)
 If I keep practising, I might even be able to play a TUNE on them? Like this guy does...he's pretty good.





Maybe I could get Norman to play these drums and Derek
to play a tiny keyboard. That might be funny?

Delia's glasses are MISSING (again.)

Mum told me to. 
"Turn off the TV! 
and go and do something more useful."


So I did this...


(Which wasn't THAT useful but  fun).

Cheese face..Ha!Ha!
I was inspired by seeing this on TV about monkeys in the zoo who keep pinching peoples sunglasses.
Ha! Ha! 

       

My particular favourite...

COMFY CHAIR SHOCK!

There is ONE chair in our house that's REALLY COMFY.  
(This one).
Mum has already WARNED me that she wants to sit down in a minute and RELAX "In the chair."
So I'll have to move. 
Groan. Which is a shame, but I have an idea.
I THROW the remote control

out of the window and it into the garden. Now at least Mum won't be able to change the channel for a while. (RESULT!)


Trouble is...
Mum spots the remote control landing in the flower bed. She says I BETTER find it FAST. Then sends me out to get it. Which takes AGES! 

When I FINALLY get back to the CHAIR. 

Mum looks like this...

Which is a bit of a SHOCK!
She says. 
"I'm relaxing."










Speaking of RELAXING. Check out the Otter.

Sock snacks

Derek's been complaining that Rooster has been stealing his socks and eating them! I've offered to give him another pair of Delia's sunglasses to chew on as I know that keeps Rooster happy 
(for a while anyway).
When it comes to socks and food, ROOSTER never gives  up looking for both.
Bit like the cousins, (with food that is.)
This dog reminds me of Rooster...Ha! Ha!

What's that noise coming from downstairs is it a monster?

Last night I was fast asleep zzzzzzzzzzz

when I HEARD a LOUD NOISE coming from downstairs. 

I didn't want to make a fuss. So I lay awake for a while thinking about what

the noise could be. 

I waited for the noise to stop.

But it just got LOUDER.

I told myself the noise was probably:

• Mum or Dad cleaning up the kitchen.
• Delia sneaking around.
• Maybe it could be a mouse?
• Or a MASSIVE monster looking for something to EAT? 

I decided that if I was going to get ANY sleep at all, I had to be brave

and go and take a look for myself.

The noise was coming from the front room.
It sounded a bit like a MONSTER snuffling and growling.

 So I crept downstairs and opened the door...slowly.

That's when I discovered  what a monster really looks like.
It was a terrible site. 

There was even slime dribbling out of it's open mouth.

I took a quick photo with Mums phone,

so that EVERYONE could see what I had found.

Including DAD.
Who didn't believe that he SNORED at all until I showed him the EVIDENCE
of him fast asleep in front of the TV. 

Here's something else that snores.
But this little creature is a LOT cuter
than Dad and not scary at all.

                                                             

 

WANT TO DRAW DELIA?

Mum has been making me do ALL
my homework ON TIME for a change.
GROAN...
So I haven't been able to do as much fun 
stuff as usual. 
Found this excellent drawing video
which gave me an idea for my own HOME WORK.


Mr Fullerman wants us to write... 


"A STEP BY STEP set of 
instructions on how to 
do something. 
For instance...
...how to Cook cakes."


I suggest I could try a, 
"How to hide my sister Delias sunglasses?" 


But I'm guessing that's not the kind of think Mr Fullerman wants? So I do this instead which is worth a 
TON of merits (I hope).
ENJOY!

DOODLETASTIC!

HEY 


Check out this doodle video!
Hope you like it...
