Advertising. How much do you think I could have got plastering Pampers or Huggies or Graco across this?
Connor and Liam also thought this was an excellent idea and demanded their turns. Tagged by his older brothers and he's not even out yet, a sign of things to come?
That's not a moon, that's a space station.
I really wish I'd had more time with this one. Could you imagine if I'd filled it all out in black with a picture to go by instead of just what was in my head? Hopefully one day another expectant father with an extremely patient wife will take this idea and improve upon it.
Supreme Leader's only condition for allowing me to do this to her was that the ink must come off afterwards. I don't know, I think the surgical staff would have been impressed. Anyway, if you're looking for a good marker to draw on yourself or a loved one with I'd recommend Crayola Pip-Squeaks. Easy on, easy off.
Why didn't I think of this sooner?!

OMG Death Star!! I think that is the funniest picture I have ever seen. Think of all this not so much as losing a canvas, but gaining an artist. Best of luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the crayola on SL's belly I knew it was only a matter of time (paragraphs) before the Death Star made an appearance.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, little Dumbass!
(And happy Woohoo! It's Finally OUT Day, SL!)
I knew you were drawing comparisons to the Death Star!
ReplyDeletePS- judging by the turkey timer, she's about to pop!
ReplyDeleteSL- All the best! Can't wait to meet your new bundle of joy. Sorry you're cramped up in the hospital waiting for it.
SL is truly the most awesome wife ever. I hope you know that.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on meeting Baby Dumbass. Can't wait to see photos.
Oh, man. I haven't been a reader of your blog long enough yet to know your interests or obsessions, so I didn't see that third pic coming -- but that Death Star Belly shot is absolute genius.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, of course!
dude the death star was the bomb! i think my wife would have killed me...lol.
ReplyDeleteand congrats on the new addition!
ReplyDeleteFantastic. "tagged by his older brothers." HA! Yes, the deathstar was cute, but that tagged photo and the caption was what really got me!
ReplyDeleteDeath Star!!!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Good luck!!!
So today's the day! When I saw the first pictures I just knew the Death Star must be coming (if you had time that) Very excited for you all (about the baby - not the Death Star on your wife's stomach, although that was pretty cool).
ReplyDeleteGood luck today. Anxiously awaiting adorable baby photos and cute Irish name.
ReplyDeletexo
You should have posed Liam behind there, and written one of your famous signs..."About to become The Middle Child."
ReplyDeleteThe Death Star!! :) I hope the evacuation goes smooth, before that shield generator gets shut down.
ReplyDeleteThe artwork rocks! Congrats to all of you!
ReplyDeleteHigh-larious!! And I have even more new found respect for SL.
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes smoothly today!! Congratulations!
Good luck today and congrats! You're wife must really desperate and bored on bed rest to let this happen. What a sport. Please keep the twitter feed updating about the happy event.
ReplyDeleteThat's it, the woman needs to be nominated for sainthood. That is an awesome picture, however.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the arrival of the littliest. We'll be thinking of you down at the Badger Den. Because the world always welcomes another Dumbass.
Apparently the Supreme leader is not ticklish! What a great sport she is!
ReplyDeleteThat. Is. AMAZING! You are a freakin genius! And the wifey is amazingly awesome to let you do that!! LMAO! Can't wait to see tiny baby Capt. Dumbass pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteYour wife is obviously in mental distress with this whole pregnancy thing. Or she's in a state of torpor. I know I was out of it when I was pregnant. Or rather livid and testy and cranky and ready to pull an oozie out at any moment, but the opposite must apply to your kind and forgiving wife.
ReplyDeleteOK maybe she's just a really really REALLY good sport.
The Supreme Breeder must be the most chill pregnant woman in history. Prayers for safe and healthy delivery.
ReplyDeleteYou're just going to have to get her pregnant again.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like the Death Star is about to blow! Congrats on the new beginning with the end of the Death Star. This totally rocks.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, your wife must be very patient, or giddy with relief that this is almost over! I hope she had as much fun watching the art as you guys did making it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck today- glad to hear the bun is done.
Love it! Much better than when my friend did Bob the Tomato on her very pregnant belly and insisted on showing it to EVERYONE. I still have nightmares.
ReplyDeleteWe love the Death Star of course. My little wanna-be Jedi was quite impressed.
Best wishes for the arrival of your little Padawan. Sure she doesn't want to hold until tomorrow? I hear the 11th is a great birthday ;)
hahhahhahhah your wife must be a saint...lol so funny
ReplyDeleteOMG BAYBEEEEEE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI expect photo updates as soon as you sit down at a computer again.
BABYBABYBABY
Hooray for you having the most amazing SL in the known and relatively known universes. And have a sane and fabulous Padawan Day!
ReplyDeleteEither the Supreme Leader is the most patient woman on the planet, or she's heavily medicated.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so freakin' hilarious!
ReplyDeleteSo fess up, how many backrubs/loads of laundry/nights of making dinner/months of diaper duty do you owe her for letting you do that?
That is so very awesome!!!! I must not show thsi to hubbie, or he'll get ideas, and want me to supply a canvas! He already thinks up evil names!
ReplyDeleteDANG! What a missed opp for me? I would have totally written something on my belly for the doctors had I thought of it.
ReplyDeleteWell done!! And kudos to S.L. for being tolerant!! Go get her something pretty!!
Was she stoned?
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the imminent arrival.
Once again proving the "Supreme" in Supreme Leader.
ReplyDeleteIt's not too late to lay a condom on it and send it to Trojan! They can use it in their next ad to scare the unprotected...
ReplyDeleteYour wife rocks! I would have said no way as soon as the markers came at me!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck, can hardly wait to see the new little one!
what a sweetie- a VERY pregnant sweetie!
ReplyDeletelove the Death Star!
awww her belly does look kinda basketball-esque!!
ReplyDeleteSL is awesome! Looks like you all had a lot of fun with that. And? Why didn't you think of that sooner?
ReplyDeleteNow I know why you love Supreme Leader so much. She's as crazy as you are! That IS a great idea!
ReplyDeleteGee after this why wouldn't she want to be pregnant all the time!...oh, wait, maybe not a good idea...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.apackalipsnow.blogspot.com
hahahaha that was GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteI will be showing this to my hubby and there will be a discussion about my belly being big enough yet to be the death star. Congrats Dumbasses on the new little one.
ReplyDeleteYou wasted nine months of tummy drawing. Where was your head, man?
ReplyDeleteSL proves once again how wonderful she is. Congrats today. Hope everything went well. Send pics.
Wow... SL has to be the coolest wife ever. Such a good sport, that one! I was so cranky by that point, someone would have lost a hand if they'd come near me with magic markers.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, didn't they blow up the death star Oh, SL, tell me they cornered you! Cap'n, you have a VERY understanding wife.
ReplyDeleteyour wife must really love you. i'd NEVER let my family draw on me let alone post it on a blog.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on the new baby!
I have to say that Supreme Leader is an awesome sport! Having said that, I love the Death Star pic! Happy Birthday to the new baby! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHysterical and adorable. Hope all is going well and you're welcoming baby... [Beautiful belly, btw. I hope Mama's happy and resting.]
ReplyDeleteI. Love. That. SL is such a trooper. Too bad you've virtually assured yourself of a baby from the dark side being born of the Death Star.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm dieing here. LOVE the Death Star! If only you had some of your Lego guys there to tromp around on it I would have passed out laughing.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome dude... many congratulations to you guys. I'll have to do that with the next one we have!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!! The Death Star was brilliant. Congrats guys, hope all goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!! You should have had a whole series of these - meh, maybe next time! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats again - hope it all went well for all involved. Can't wait to see the pics!
You are like Van Gogh with that marker! Just watch your ears . . .
ReplyDeleteHey, where are the new mini-Van Gogh pics?
lol .... now come on... seriously!! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Death Star. Truly inspired! SL is a good woman!
ReplyDeleteHope all are doing well!
OMG too funny! Love the Death Star! Your wife is one patient woman lol
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth will you do when you no longer have that expanse of canvas?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the 2'nd pic you're raising the new Picasso & Klee!? :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I need to send your wife an so called oklava.
Just google it & then run for your life... ;)
that was BRILLIANT. Now, if you propped up the lego men and grillied cheese people on the belly, It would be ANOTHER masterpiece.
ReplyDeletecongrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and just ignore the Grant comment.
ReplyDeleteIs 'lil' BD here yet?! Whats the scoop?! I can't wait for an update.
ReplyDeleteAnd I teach ART! Why didn't I think of this when my wife was pregnant with our kids?!
ReplyDeletehopefully by now, the death star is vanquished and Liam is securely MIDDLE CHILD..... this WAS a brilliant idea....you will have to remember it for NEXT time. Your wife is a saint, you do know that, don't you? Congrats to you all!!
ReplyDeleteYour Supreme Leader is a saint, many congrats on the new addition to your family. :)
ReplyDeleteOH
ReplyDeleteMY
GOD!
I can't believe SL let you do that to her belly! If you were my husband I would have disowned you!
Hope all went well and the baby is healthy! Can't wait to see pics!
Congratulations!!!
That is AWESOME!! And omg she has the PERFECT belly!!!!
ReplyDeleteYiiihihihihihihihi. Totally awesome! You'll start earlier with belly #4. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my. SL is a patient, patient lady.
ReplyDeleteInteresting artwork. Unusual canvas. I must say that your wife has the patience of a saint and a wonderful sense of the ridiculous.
