SNOWGRUMP

 


 TODAY!




 YEAH!

We all got to go home early from school too, which was  
excellent news. 
Derek came round to my house and Mum made us both a hot chocolate with MARSHMALLOWS.

We would have had THREE marshmallows EACH if Delia hadn't turned up and
asked for one too. 

"You don't even like marshmallows!" I reminded her.

"I do"

"No you don't - we'll have yours."

"I'll leave out the marshmallows if you don't like them Delia." Mum told her.

"I do..I love them." 

(She doesn't, it was REALLY annoying.)

When we'd finished out drinks Derek and I went out to make a snowman.

I had a good idea...

 


















...which worked out nicely. 

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.)

NEW DRAWING GAME!

HEY!!

If you have any SPARE time (in between doing lots of 

homework, annoying your sisters - brothers - or both.)

HERE'S SOMETHING you can try out.

It's a  very cool drawing game that has MY style of 

doodle on it. Which I am VERY PLEASED about.

And you can make up your own stories too.

Let me know what you think won't you?

ENJOY!

It's EASY - just click on the link below and follow the instructions on the website to download the game.

It's all FREE and not dodgy at all

(in case your parents/grown ups are 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?
