Lilith and I draw the Tower of Barad-Dur

Lilith has decided she's going to make the Tower of Barad-dur for the Canadian County Free Fair this year.  For those of you following along, this is the tower that holds the Eye of Sauron in Lord of the Rings.  We finally found a picture of it in our DVD set and we both took turns drawing it. 

I realized as I was drawing that the side things on it make it basically look like a giant penis.  o.O

Quotes from The Husband

Husband: *swatting the air near his salad*  Get away from my food, fly, or I will eat you!  And it will be a very satisfying swallow!
Me: ......
Husband: That didn't come out the way I wanted it to.
Me: *cackles*

Or Sixth, or Seventh....

Song for a Fifth Childby Ruth Hulburt Hamilton

Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing and butter the bread,
Sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I’ve grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
The shopping’s not done and there’s nothing for stew
And out in the yard there’s a hullabaloo
But I’m playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren’t her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).

The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

Drawing Lord of the Rings

Arwen calling the river horses to wash away the Ringwraiths

Logan draws the battle for Minas Tirith
Gryphon draws Sauron forging the ring (on the back is an elf cutting off an orc's head......)
This is when Gollum is talking to himself while Frodo and Sam are sleeping, right before they get to the Dead Marshes (by Lilith)

Rumours

Mark and the boys ran to the store this morning to replenish the cheerios supply for breakfast.  On the way there, he saw one of his old coworkers, who waved at him.  He pulled over and they chatted for a bit.  As they pulled away, Gryphon asked, "Is that your girlfriend?"

And that, my friends, is how rumours get started :D.

Meet Mai Rose

This will be my Pandaren when Mists hits the shelves.  She's a Discipline Priest.  I kind of like the line drawing I did of her better than the coloured in version, but both I like.  She's cute but she's also serious.  That's going to be my Halloween costume as well.  The spelling of her name might change as most Chinese names with an "ai" are pronounced "eye" and her name is MAY, like the month.

Picture turned out a little fuzzy (although I guess SHE is a little fuzzy, har har)
