Lunch Bag Friday: Mythical Creature Hunter

Lunch Bag Friday’s Post

Oh WOW! Seriously? This set is sooo knock-your-socks- off amazing! I kept trying to sneak peeks at them Thursday night while Seth was drawing because I could tell they were going to be great. He keeps out-doing himself on these. I loved hearing the symbolism behind this idea- it led to a great late-night discussion.   It has such beautiful lighting too.

I loved listening to the girls Friday morning morning, debating and creating the story of what they thought was going on. Pip’s theory made absolutely no sense, was slightly macabre, and super silly.  We all just looked at her like she was nuts when she was done telling us about it/acting it out. lol

Lunch Bag Friday (11-8-13)

"Too Late"

You can just tell this this is such a sweet story and a sad story at the same time on these bags. Seth and I were talking about how the teenage years and preteen years for both of us seemed to be filled with unrequited love. It was in those years that we both had our first really strong crush and heartbreak. Our older girls are going through that just a little bit and Seth wanted to make them some lunch sacks that say, “I know. I love you!”  

It was fun to hear them run down the stairs two Fridays ago when Seth drew these, flip on the kitchen lights, and both let out a long sigh, “oooooOOOOHHhh. How cute,” and “Poor guy!” When I walked in the room Kendyl was still sighing and smiling at her sack (she’s our hopeless romantic). She turned to me and said, “I haven’t had a boy like me at the same time as me liking him since Kindergarten. We use to pretend Stars Wars and puppies and one time we hid in a closet from his sister and he kissed my hair.” 

WHAT?! I never knew that! hahahaha I think we may be in for some rough years ahead with these girls. hahaha Wish us luck!

Lunch Bag Friday: A Cold Thanksgiving

Happy Lunch Bag Friday!

"Sudden Ice Age Theory" (poor guy had bad timing) and "A Good Thanksgiving"

Crunch time on his movie = either staying up to the middle of the night to draw or getting more sleep and printing off old sketches onto white paper sacks. I'm so glad Seth chose to print off previously made art so he could get more sleep. The girls and I got such a kick out of these this morning. Makenzie was especially excited to bring hers to school. Seth "picked" this one for her because of some old Kindergarten graduation footage I shot of her going to town trying to hook a big one while she was on stage many years ago. hahahaha We love looking up that old video. It gets funnier every time.  It's awesome and she's super proud of it. lol

Well we hope you have a great weekend and a fun Thanksgiving just around the corner... I hope it turns out better for you than this good wife. 

Peter Pan Lunch Bag Series #4

This is the last set from Seth’s Peter Pan Series that he made last year for our girls.   I'm sure Peter Pan would approve of finishing the series off with the wonderful boy himself and his Wendy Bird. :)  I imagine they are overlooking the scene of Hook tying the native princess to Skull Rock in order to try to trap Peter.  tsk tsk  Such bad form Captain! 

Peter Pan Lunch Bag Series #3

Another mermaid and her octopus buddy. When Seth gave our girls these two lunch sacks they thought these friends were playing hide-and-go-seek.  :) I love Seth's mermaids.  They are always so beautiful.

Peter Pan Lunch Bag Series #2

A Captain Hook loving crocodile and some lovely mermaids.  :)

Peter Pan Lunch Bag Series #1

Seth drew a "Peter Pan" series of lunch sacks for our girls last year.  I'll post a set a day this week and start this adventure off with the unrelenting Captain Hook, his companion Shmee, and the even more stubborn Princess Tiger Lily as they head to Skull Rock.
