i wanted to document some of the many, many, many projects that athena blythe is perpetually attempting and/or completing at our house. Athena blythe is the best at working on her own projects or getting out of work projects that we assign her. rarely a day goes by that we find ourselves halfway through cleaning up the kitchen or doing chores and we find that athena blythe has secretly and silently made her departure to parts unknown. we just hope that someday she can use these powers for good.
translation added when necessary
a while ago, i came home from the gym in the early hours to a sign on the front door proclaiming her latest business:
VET
lots of wishful notes:
"deyr mom i want a hamstr i promis i wood take care of it i wood feed it i wood cotul it i wood love it
love blythe"
and a picture of the hamster in the cage at the bottom
one of my personal favorites, a breaking newspaper story:
"a grela hast akscapd frum the zoo.
Be on a lookout
this anmol is a kilr"
a gorilla has escaped from the zoo. be on a lookout. this animal is a kilr.
or the day she started her own chicken farm:
we had to tiptoe around that box for days
the top chicken is what the eggs look like inside the chicken
her detailed instructions on how she suggest that daily travel should go:
"flying go on a plane akros the oshin"
"go on a trane wif your state tgether wif tran tracks"
"go in a car if you are gowing on a vackashin"
too many yard sale notices to keep up with. having a yard sale is a particularly frequent dream complete with the boxing up and labeling of the items she'd like to sell. also, many, many letters to santa, the easter bunny and st. patrick requesting visits.
my personal train schedule:
pretty cut and dry
her cat is lost. we actually don't have a cat.
"hlalp my cat is gone. her name is mitins. i sod her yeshtrday"
she set up a spa for thomas (NOT ME) so that he could be "relaxed"
she helped a ton with halloween decorations.
she had her own personal spirit day at school. dress like a cat farmer. cats on her shirt. overalls. rain boots.
"the hardest part is getting all the cats to stay in their cages" -athena blythe, cat farmer
we went to a trampoline gym with a climbing wall. she could not get enough of the climbing wall. she was like a laser to the top each time. frankly, it was exhausting to watch.
the moment she realized that the magic puppet show at the library was not nearly as cool as the poster made it out to be:
too many to count, athena blythe encouraged(read-forced) floor picnic tea parties with all the kids.
the much hyped fancy nancy day at the mall. the sponsors only planned on about 40 kids and there were more like 100 so we had to fight for that crown. i hope i didn't hurt anyone. except for that mom making a crown for herself too. i cry foul. don't take away a chance for a kid to make a crown because you're an oblivous jerkface.
in short, athena blythe is always busy or always busy plotting . the end.

June's partner in crime! I was able to laugh through this whole post because I am not responsible for dealing with or cleaning up after any of these antics. It was most enjoyable. She is truly a gem.
I so needed this laugh today!! The cat poster is my fave!
