Sketchbook: Everybody clean up, that's the thing to do

I had companions and companions who were a mess. It was a lot easier to deal with the clutter!
 

Sketchbook: Home away from home

It's probably just coincidence, but when all five of our boys were in the Young Men's program at the same time, it seemed like our opportunity to clean the church came around a lot more often.
 

Becoming clean

The real question is, do you believe in miracles?
 

Scrubbed

Have you noticed that a lot of events at church have their own, unique smell? FOr example, the Chili Cook-Off is distinctly different from the ward Christmas party. The Relief Society room smells different from the Primary room.

Pioneer trek has a scent that's all its own!

Happy Pioneer Day!

 

But it's comfortable!

Ah, the stories my armchair could tell!
 

Another shining moment

Funny, it seems like I've been writing bathroom jokes ever since it was our turn to help clean the church a couple of weeks ago. Coincidence?
 

Sketchbook: Next to cleanliness

Our mission only had two vehicles: the president’s car and the mission van. We didn’t find too many surprises. 
 

Replenishing

I'm certain that we're not the only family that uses the time between Christmas and New Year cleaning and purging. 
 

Sketchbook: Thankful but

Like millions of other Americans, we traveled for the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a ton of family who got together.  We had a blast! It also meant there was a lot of cleanup when we were done. 
 

Magical vacation

Another sneak preview of the Disney cartoons I’m working on with fellow cartoonist Ryan Stoker. 

I've tried scrubbing it out

Some of those spots need a little more work than others!
 

It's our turn

With stake conference this weekend, we've been asked to kick it up a notch...
 

No form, not void

I dunno. Is this wresting the scriptures?
 

How to get those stubborn stains

I refuse to say whether I've heard true accounts of missionaries dragging fire hoses into their apartments. 

There's a statute of limitation on that kind of thing, isn't there?

The gifts that keep on giving

From what I've heard, it's not just our house that looks like this on Mother's Day.
 

The three kingdoms

I'm pretty sure I didn't develop a sense of smell until after my mission.
 

Sketchbook: Sign of the time

Disaster nearly struck in our sacrament meeting yesterday. There was no garbage can at the podium to drop in the wipes! Luckily, an intrepid deacon was able to track one down and the meeting was saved.

Talk about living on the edge!
 

Though your socks be as scarlet

Actually, I've felt this way most of my life — as a missionary, as a toddler parent, and especially when I took our teenaged boys camping when I was scoutmaster!
 

Call in the professionals

Which would be cheaper, renting the goats or feeding the youth?
 

We want a clean game

And wash your hands after every play!
