Today my pre-ordered Mocking Jay came! With a rain and lightning storm outside, it was the perfect day to receive the third book in The Hunger Games Series.

Last night around 11:30 I realized that I promised my peeps they would get a surprise underneath their pillows in the morning. Feeling pretty sure they were not going to be impressed with just a piece of gum this time, I drew a couple of quick pictures for my two girls to color. My son, I was about to draw a crazy insect man but realized that he can draw that kind of thing better than I can so instead I left him a note under his pillow that I would teach him a silly trick. Nothing for Hazel. When you are still in a crib you don't get a prize under your pillow. Sorry fourth child!

Mind you, I did these in tired half darkness, knowing that my girls wouldn't care that they weren't perfect. Here they are colored.
I love how Sylvia added a little red clown nose.
