Graves Mythology

I mentioned in my last post that we are all about Greek Mythology at our house. Grandma let Brayden borrow the Percy Jackson series while we were visiting for Memorial Day. The size of the books was overwhelming to him, but he started anyway.

He read them all by June, and now Caleb is reading them as well.

We rented the movie a few days after it came out, and watched it as a family.

The next day, I asked the boys what their name would be if they were Greek God's. This is what we came up with for our family:

Todd- Therapes, the God of Mental Illness
Using his Sigmund Freud Magic 8 ball, he'll either fix your head, or give you Schizophrenia.

Felicia- Prozacia or Celexia, the Goddess of Hormones
Using my slingshot and pills, I'll make the men pregnant...

Brayden- Intelligon, the God of Knowledge and Facts
Using nothing more than words, he'll make you feel like you should go back to school.
(Fact: There are over 1000 species of bats. Fruit bats pollinate...)
(Here Jackie, I drew you a picture of a Vampire Squid.)

Caleb- Empathes, the God of Friendship
By sharing and playing fair, he'll make friends with anyone. Should you choose not to play fair, he'll attack by whining that will require the patience of Job.

Dillon- Hershius, the God of...Chocolate

Using his laserlike puppy dog eyes, he'll melt every vegetable on the planet into chocolate.

Your wit is absolutely divine! Your family of Greek Gods reads like the prologue to a great script/movie; can't wait till you publish more! Of course, Hershius will remain our favorite as long as he's melting everything into dark chocolate!But, we love the rest, too!! (Don't want to incite the Olympians!)

Those are so cute and funny. What about baby Justin? I guess maybe his special powers haven't been revealed yet...
