Today Veronica showed me her very first comic book! Maybe Stephen has a replacement. The comic is called the Pouncing Bobcat. 
It depicts what Veronica does in the morning: Jump out of bed, snuggle, eat a peanut butter snack, and eat an Ibis (wait…). Pretty good for a seven year old. Veronica says she would make more comics but she can never keep an idea in her head long enough to write it. Looks like you’re safe for now Stephen.

Another Use!
Remember Stephen’s post about the uses of plastic swords? Well, as it turns out Veronica has figured out her own use for them. So the other day Veronica came up to Mom and said, “Hey Mom, look at my new insignia.” 
Mom said, “I didn’t know you had an insignia.” Veronica said, “Now I do!” Looks like those plastic swords can also be used for insignias. Who knew?
Two for the Price of None!
I collect bottle caps and so do the little boys and Veronica. Today Veronica told me she was running a special deal at Veronica’s bottle cap shop. “Buy one for free and get one free!”
How can you refuse a deal like that?
Burritos
So, Nicholas got a bunch of glow-sticks recently, and we were all playing with them when I discovered something very odd. For some reason Veronica, Christopher, and Robert all call the glow-sticks, (and I’m quoting them here) “Burritos”.
I just wonder why they call them that. I guess burritos, and glow-sticks are both cylinders… no, it’s just weird.
I Know I Have Problems
Yes, it’s true, I spell horribly. The more I write for this blog and comic the more I come to realize how truly atrocious my spelling is. I am aware of this defect, but I don’t wear it like a badge of honor as some people do. I once heard someone claim they spell badly because they think so quickly they don’t have the time to spell the words out. Well I spell badly because I’m too lazy to read and too disinterested to properly spellcheck or proofread.
Despite this faults I do want to do better, after all it’s embarrassing when your mother corrects your spelling, but when your kid sister correct your spelling you know it’s really bad, and no, I am not talking about Anne. I am talking about Veronica. She’s seven and I call her my secretary because she looks over my shoulder while I write and tells me when I’ve typed a word wrong. So I apologize for all the misspelled words and all the wrong “theirs.” In the future, if so inclined, please leave a comment letting me know so I can fix the problem and maybe improve. Most importantly always remember…it’s Veronica’s fault!
Happy All Saint’s Day!
And to celebrate here’s an extra blog post! We also all dressed up as saints.
Some of our costumes are a little hap hazard, but this is because no one knew we were dressing up until yesterday when Veronica announced, “For All Saints Day I want to dress up as the saint I’m named for!”
So we all had to make costumes between then and now.
True to her word Veronica is St. Veronica,
Robert is Fr. Goldmann (WWII German chaplain and author of the autobiography “Shadow of his Wings”),
Christopher is St. George,
Anne is St. Gianna Molla,
Nathaniel is the conquistador Hernan Cortes,
Jonathan is Blessed Miguel Pro,
I am St. George (yes, the same one as Christopher),
and Nicholas is St. Thomas Moore.
Technically not everyone is a canonized saint, but more technically anyone who is in heaven is a saint and we believe these men to be in heaven, so…close enough.
I considered giving a short bio of all the saints, but that would have taken forever and it’s all ready after ten, so instead, here are some more pictures from today
Big Thanks to Grace Manor!
A big thanks to the Grace Manor for having us come play our show yesterday. We had a great time and the staff was very helpful. The people there were all enthusiastic and appreciative. They really seemed to like our show, almost as much as they liked Veronica. She is a tiny ham.
(Of course I just posted a picture of me so I’m not really one to talk.)
We had so much fun performing we forgot to take any pictures except for Nicholas who had the presence of mind to take the one of me and one of our delightful audience.
