From the mouth's of babes...


Even though you might think this is a very heartfelt seminary like devotional blog posting based on the title, it really isn't. Also, if you can't tell, Amanda's guest blogger is back because, well I don't really know why, but I'm here again. Anyway I was going through the kids' school work for the week and I happened upon this little gem. I started laughing out loud and Blakely wanted to know why and so I told her sometimes the truth just makes you laugh. Kind of like when I realized that my ears really do stick out, you just have to accept it and laugh. Anyway, the pure honesty of this paper must be shared with the world, so I have posted it here. Please enjoy the work and I will add a couple of disclaimers after.

First of all, why I'm an eagle...I don't know other than I'm bald, so it makes sense. I also think that I'm watching over them because it's hilarious to sit on the outside and watch. Now, Amanda is curious, apparently as curious and playful as a monkey....I will attest to that. I guess her arms are spread out showing she has no weapons, she surrenders, she just doesn't know what else to do or say. Emery is a chipmunk, chipmunk cheeks (check), sneaky (check), possibly carrying some unknown virus due to her affinity for dirt and grime (yet to be determined). Haden, well he needs no explanation, he definitely pesters Blakely, and he kind of laughs like Woody Woodpecker when he gets hyper. Blakely, she is kind and gentle, but I think we need to let the opposition (Haden) create a totem and see if he agrees. But it's tough to argue with a cat, especially since they can turn in a heart beat and scratch the crap out of you. Finally, Blakely must have had a free draft spot so she inserted one of her favorite cousins Machayla. Machayla loves penguins and while I have never seen her waddle I'm sure it's very curious.

Well I hope that you enjoyed this piece of art as much as I did. I do look forward to more, especially the rebuttals from Blakely's siblings.
