IPAD!!!!

When we were in Pittsburgh my mom and dad gave me a big surprise... an IPAD!! So far I have downloaded: Solitaire, Lasers, Battle Bears, Warp my Face, Blue Block, NFL sports network, and IBOOKS.

Snow

  It started snowing tuesday night. I ran around jumping of humongous rocks pretending I was being chased. After a while it got boring so I went back and got the push broom. I used it to push all the snow on the deck into one big pile. Then I lined all my action figures up and squished them into the pile. I picked up all my figures climbed up onto the table and threw them one by one into the snow.

Papercutting

Today we are hosting the home school group at our house.  We are going to be doing some simple papercutting, starting with cutting snowflakes. Papercutting is a art form practiced across cultures, in China,  Germany, Poland, and Mexico to name just a few.  Check out these amazing examples!

The Science Center

h  

Last weekend me and my friend Leon went to the science center in Baltimore. We had a lot of fun: We dug up dinosaurs, shifted tectonic plates, designed mars rovers, classified blood, and saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 in the IMAX theater.  

Guy Fawkes day.

            Saturday it was Guy Fawkes day. Guy Fawkes was a Englishman who tried to blow up parliament. We burned a big effigy of him in a humungous bonfire. Then we set of fireworks in a cardboard house of parliament, (it caught on fire). 

           We played 4 games, They were: Family where we made up fake names for ourselves and talked in funny voices, Damsels In Distress where the girls climbed out the bathroom window, Escape From The Castle where we ALL climbed out the bathroom window, and Hide From The Cops where we all climbed back in the bathroom window.

The Aquarium

When I was in Chicago we went to the Shedd Aquarium.  We watched a movie in 4-D,it actually snowed on us.  We also went to the dolphin show to see how the trainers trained the dolphins.  Recently I watched a movie called The Cove.  It shows some footage of Japanese fishermen capturing dolphins, selling some off to oceanariums, then slaughtering the rest to sell as FISH meat!                                                              

If you want to view the movie look at this link. http://www.thecovemovie.com/buy_the_dvd.htm                                                                                   This link talks about how dolphin captivity is wrong.  http://www.dolphinproject.org/the--dolphin-show.html.
