Started by Peter Reynolds in his book THE DOT, this has blossomed into an annual event touting a “you can do it” attitude. Hop on over to Patricia Tilton’s Children’s Books Heal and Beth Stilborn’s blogs to read more about it.
This is my contribution that I whipped up while eating lunch and watching a geometry course with my younger son. If multitasking lowers one’s I.Q., I am now solidly in the single digits range. Oh, and I don’t recommend drawing with the sketchpad on your lap while eating.

Love this picture. Really hope you’re wrong about multitasking though!

Thanks, Al! Unfortunately, there have been studies that show that one’s IQ does get lowered…as my older son is fond of reminding me. 😛

I’m horrible at remembering their names, but they say so much with their little faces and bodies. Not sure how you manage to do that, but I love it!! (((((Teresa)))))

Love it! Theresa, I told my daughter about this day and she started sketching a bird made out of tiny dots. Hope to share it on my Facebook page when she finishes it. I love this idea.

Love how wise Doris is, and you can tell she’s telling Larry without judgement. Good thing she’s around to help him out with everything. 😉

Well, you know the Doris type: they’re wise but they’re also know-it-alls and annoying and pushy (like your sister). 😀
