picture pages with pete

i decided it was time for another installment of drawing fun with pete.

my parents have a lovely, xeriscape, backyard, complete with indigenous desert plants and even a fountain. of course, it's not as lovely as it was before my kids and i lived there for 7 months, but i digress. one of the indigenous plants to the lower sonoran desert is the yucca plant, which my son has drawn for us below:



and just in case you don't know what a yucca is and this graphic representation isn't sufficient, here is an actual yucca:



there is a hole at the base of the yucca in my parents' backyard, graciously dug by their cairn terrier. christian was not buying this story though, and the picture above is his story of what is actually in that hole.

it is, in fact, a demon rabbit hole. said demon rabbit must be killed with rocks that christian will fill the hole up with. if the rabbit is not killed, it will be flushed out by the rocks and then killed by the crazy monster, as a back up plan.


seriously folks. i have no idea where he gets these ideas from. definitely not me. it must be his dad's warped dna that gives him these ideas.


not. mine.

I'm sure it's your warped DNA. His dad's couldn't be that creative.

I am not entirely convinced that you didn't draw the picture, and when you realized that it may look like you have let some of the crazy out, you made Christian take the blame for it. I wonder what "he" will come up with next...

damn yucca's. i seriously think they are the ugliest thing ever. and only in arizona. what a plant to get stuck with...

the kid's plan is sound. rest assured he will someday rule the world. keep up the good work, mom.

he'll rule the world and then there will be no more fear of the dreaded emonic rabbits. i say it's about time we can walk down the street without having to worry.

and i swear i didn't draw the damn thing.

and you're right sis, his dad is too stupid to help come up with creativity such as that. my boy's a gemius! a gemius i tell ya!
