Sir Kevin of Devin

This is Enoch dressed up like Sir Kevin of Devin. "Sir Kevin of Devin" is one of their favorite books and they like to act out the story regularly. The leaves coming out of Enoch's planter hat are his 'plume'.

This morning Ezra was playing Sir. Kevin of Devin and he was dressed up at the breakfast table. Enoch was blessing the food and he blessed Ezra. Ezra interrupted him and said, in a loud whisper, "no, not Ezra, sir Kevin" Enoch giggled and prayed again "Heavenly Father please bless Ezra" (more giggles). Ezra gets louder and says "NO sir Kevin of Devin". Enoch of course takes this opportunity to get Ezra's goat two more times before I was able to get the situation under control. Ezra got louder with each blessing of himself. It was quite funny.

Kevin was a big dreamer. He wanted to be a knight. It is kind of a David and Goliath story. He volunteers to fight a monster no one can stop who is wreaking havoc across the countryside.

Here is his success. My problem with the book is that the boy actually does nothing and yet becomes a hero. He just follows the mechanical dragon across the countryside until in runs down. How is that heroic??? Maybe just the willingness to fight what is thought to be very dangerous is enough for knighthood. He was very brave.
