Back to School


Inspired by my son's infamous Pancake Incident, this is a rough sketch I was working on last week for a possible promotion... I was trying to capture the crazy stress of school day mornings - making lunches, signing permission slips, coughing up money for various activities, making breakfast and trying to get the kids to eat it, running out the door at the last minute... My kids are both in college now, but brings back memories... One frosty morning, my son, angry because he was late and I was making him take his uneaten pancakes with him, slipped and fell on the icy back deck. Such ranting and raving and throwing of pancakes you never did see. Actually, my daughter and I started laughing - it really was funny...guess you had to be there...

This is great, Marilee! And even though my daughter is in her senior year at college I can remember these types of mornings very well! Great job capturing the moment!!
