My Super Skylanders

                                                        My Super Skylanders


My Skylander collection means a lot to my brother and I, and I usually buy them at Toys R Us or Target. The Skylanders are divided into the following groups.  The plant group, an earth group, a magic group, a water group, a tech group, an undead group, a fire group, and an air group. Here is a picture of all the Skylanders I have.



 The black circle is called the Portal of Power.  The Portal of Power is the operating system of how the Skylanders can appear on your Kinect or Wii.







This large fellow is Thumpback. He is my favorite Skylander out of all of them!  He is a giant, and he is mighty strong!  He is the giant for the water group and has an anchor for a weapon.




                                                  Do you have Skylanders?
                        Who is you favorite Skylander?

Paintings of Art

                                                                  Paintings of Art

My wonderful brother, Wyatt, made a painting today. He drew a smile face with the colors of yellow and blue. It is very interesting that my brother will draw a painting of a smile face, and not of a whole body. Here is a picture of the paints he used in his painting.




My brother used blue, red, pink, orange, yellow, and green.  He loves to paint and currently he has a broken leg, and can't play any sports. He can go in the pool though.


Do you like to be creative?

If you do, leave me a comment a tell me about a project that you made.

Terrific Father's Day

                                                            Terrific Father's Day!


Today is Father's Day and boy am I excited! First, we had a deliciously cooked meal. We had french toast, bacon, and eggs. After breakfast, My dad, my two brothers, and I went to play a great game of catch. Wyatt, my brother, even tried to hit the baseball while siting down because he has a broken leg. I practiced pitching with my dad by pretending there was an imaginary batter and my dad was the catcher. I was the pitcher and let it rip! Second, we opened presents. In class, we made a pine cone bird feeder. We hung it up in a tree near our humming bird feeder. Here is a picture.







Here is a picture of the presents we got my superior dad. We got him a bag for travel, his favorite socks, cards, and lots of love.






Here is a picture of the card I got him. It says: " Cool dads make cool kids." 







What did you do for father's day?
Did your mom or dad make a superior breakfast for you?

A Great Game, Monopoly

                                                         Monopoly:  A Great Game


Monopoly is a game about buying and selling property. My personal favorite property is Boardwalk. Boardwalk is like the king of all properties, but it is not cheap! It is four hundred dollars just to purchase the deed. If you want to put a house on it, you'll need another two hundred dollars.

So in all, it would be six hundred dollars in Monopoly money.  If you can afford three houses, the rent for landing on you property is  $1,400! That puts a lot of money in your account, but also hurts the other competitors and gives you a better chance of winning this incredibly entertaining game.

Here is what the board looks like.  I think that CHANCE and COMMUNITY CHEST are really useful sometimes, but then again, they sometimes send you DIRECTLY to jail for no reason.



 These are the deeds to the neighborhoods.  For instance, here 
is the Electric Companies deed. It is a utility, just like Water Works. 



Here is a picture of a five dollar bill, but it is on top of a stack of $1,500 in Monopoly money.  This money allows you to buy property and make more money through rent.  If you run out of money, you might be able to make a deal to stay in the game...otherwise you lose.





What is your favorite board game?

Have you ever won at Monopoly?

Diary of a Wimpy Kid


MY FAVORITE BOOK SERIES
         
My favorite book series is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. There are ten books in this best-selling series.  I would suggest these fantastic books. The author is Jeff Kinney, and he is an out of this world writer.

What I like about these books is the characters. I like Greg Heffley the wimp, and Rowley Jefferson the loyal friend. They find their friendship out of control sometimes, but they normally get along very well.


This is my favorite book in the series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid DOG DAYS. It is about Greg and Rowley winding down on their school year. To start off summer, they go to Rowley's country club and order way too many smoothies without knowing that they had to pay for them.

                                   

What is your favorite book series and why?
