Violet and Degan’s Lunch Notes

When Violet was about to start 1st grade, she asked me to put a note in her lunch box so she wouldn't miss me on her first day. What started as a simple note has turned into a series of daily drawings that I am collecting here. And as of 2018, I am now drawing notes for my son since he just started 1st grade as well. (Note : The first year of drawings were drawn straight in pen with no preliminary sketching). You can see more of my sketches at http://melissaconroy.deviantart.com

I may have taken this idea from a friend’s pin. Wish I could take credit for it because it’s pretty great. #heman #skeletor #lunchnotes https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jXrRVny5d/?igshid=pgozg9j8fnbe

I think this is the last #danplan , so we might as well end with Dan. I think the kids are ready to move onto another series for their #lunchnotes next week. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZKxq_nxxT/?igshid=1aq9yyzmdjajz

Today’s message by Violet! LOL. I told her I don’t know enough about #jocat to think of a message that relates, so I asked her for tips. Her reply “I dunno. ‘You’re cool’?” So there you have it! You’re cool. And done. #danplan #lunchnotes https://www.instagram.com/p/B9WmVoznyPA/?igshid=x8c6ke0ady5v

Soooooooo, I’m sure my parent friends seeing this lunch note are looking at this thinking WTF, but I assure you, my kids, who watch #danplan , will get a kick out of it. #lunchnotes https://www.instagram.com/p/B9O3BZyH9-g/?igshid=4kg6f8y4a8ym

I ran out of time while drawing Luna, so she turned into kind of a speed draw. The drawbacks of doing lunch notes in the morning before school. #lunchnotes https://www.instagram.com/p/B8RFMQFHqvP/?igshid=1kajztnn9d9fo

The kids have been watching #jaidenanimations lately. #lunchnotes https://www.instagram.com/p/B8OejmLHblm/?igshid=1v9i5ojci0o8u

Today’s #lunchnotes are the #sothisisbasically versions of Link. Not a bad YouTube animation series, actually. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Gxa96HG53/?igshid=q3bvzz1u62vt
