Siblings

That feeling when your sibling stayed home from school, YOU still had to go, AND on top of your regular school responsibilities, you now had to take home any assignments your brother or sister missed! 🤒📚

TV

It was always an added bonus when your sister enjoyed watching the same TV shows as you! 😎📺 

Candy

 Once a month the family would drive up to our grandparents' house for the day. On our way, we'd stop by a local newsstand, and our parents would let us pick up a a candy bar.

We'd get so excited over the chance to have some candy! 😁🍫

Our choices varied, but my sister frequently picked up a Whatchamacallit bar and I usually gravitated to a 3 Musketeers. 😊 

Sis 2

My sister is a few years older, so while growing up, she always had an advantage over me. Whether it was playing cards, board games, or simple acts of athleticism, she was always better. 😮‍💨

Sis

My sister and I were close, often participating in the same activities, like the drum and majorette corps we were both members of. Sometimes it might have gotten a little TOO close...but in the end, she's still my sis! 🥰♥️

Homework

In high school, it was a little understandable when the teachers assigned us a decent chunk of homework on the same night - they didn't necessarily collaborate to make sure they weren't overburdening the students, but in elementary school, we had only one teacher! It was a bit overwhelming when we went home with assignments on multiple subjects! 🤯📚🎒

Oversleep

 I feel like we've all experienced this at one point in our lives...

...you overslept!

It's a terrible moment for me when it happens...my entire day just feels "off"! 😴🤯😮‍💨

Sunday Drive

Family drives through the countryside. ♥️

On the weekends, our parents would pile us into the family station wagon, and we'd take a long drive through the countryside. We had no real destination...we just wanted to drive down some new roads, take in the scenery, and maybe find some new ways to travel around the area. 😎🚗

That's a Wrap

 That last cartoon officially wraps up sketchbook #8!

It absolutely baffles me when I look back at how many cartoons I've drawn since I started this back in 2018. 🤯

So thankful I've been able to keep up this pace, and I hope to continue for years to come!

Time to set up a fresh new sketchbook...Book #9! 😁📚

Eight

The NFL season has officially begun! Time for fans to support their favorite teams by wearing their team colors! 🏈

Playing Hooky

On the morning walk to school, particularly when the weather was absolutely GORGEOUS, I MAY have had a thought or two about skipping school...but I never did. I wasn't as crafty as my sister. She may have been an expert at playing hooky, I was no where near crafty enough to pull it off.

So...off to school! 😉🎒🏫
