The library

This is the place where we keep our books. We call it the library. This isn't even half of the books we have either. And I dont even think all of them have been read yet. This is also where we pray and use our laptops. I dont read much of these because none of them are interesting. I like to read books that teach you things like how to draw and stuff like that. But we dont have any books like that so I get really bored when I have nothing to do.

My first whiteboard stop animation

This is a clip of my first, not very successful whiteboard animation. Now I know why I liked Lego stop animation better. #1.Because you can take Lego anywhere and get the right lighting whereas my pics get all dark in this kind of stop animation. #2.Because where ever one part goes in Lego models, everything connected has to go too, but in this one, I kept forgetting to move the body when the legs moved, so when it was supposed to look like a guy walking, it looked like a guy doing some kind of dance. #3.I don't have a stand for the camera so It's hard to keep the camera in place. You see? My first LEGO stop animation film went perfect but this went the opposite direction.

My fat cat

This is my lazy, fat cat named Sam also known as Sammy. He always sleeps in some crazy position like this. He gets almost everything he wants. He meows so loud that every one wakes up just to let him in the house, out of the house, or to give him food. he is very very very very fat. He's smart too. When we came from Africa, he came to us one by one for us to pet him. He's also mean. Sometimes he wants to lie down on your lap. But if you read a book or something he'll scratch you because he wants attention.

The Lego star destroyer

This is a picture of a Lego set from my Lego magazine that my sister is crazy about. My mom told me that I can get a big Lego set if I paid for half of it. My sister keeps telling me to get this $100 set. But I don't like it as much as the $50 dollar one I want to buy. Yet she still bothers me about it. Even though this has more pieces and is more fun to build, I want to buy the other Lego set for making a stop animation movie I've been waiting to make.

School books

This is where my mom puts all the schoolbooks we need. Almost two times in every week, a package comes just for school! I feel like were due to be tortured in a few days, and if not, were going to get more books to get tortured with. these books have every subject you need to live or that doesn't let you live. How tiring work can be.

Our "Toy area"

This is the part of our house we call the Toy area. But not even half of it is toys. We have books in the corner, my Dads rowing machine on the right side, suitcases from Africa scattered everywhere, boxes full of clothes and other things and the table is full with artifacts from Africa. Of course, there's toys all over the floor. I'd be surprised if this place ever gets cleaned up. The day I get told to clean up around here I'm going to faint. This place is even messier than my room!

Superplexus

This is a picture of a 3-dimensional maze called the Superplexus. It is a rare toy that isn't made any more. But my Dad found two at the Salvation Army store. We left one in Africa and kept one for when we came back. You are supposed to move the ball around so that a small ball inside rolls through the maze and try to keep it on track but it's really hard. Now my sister and I compete to see how many times we can finish the thing. Ive given up because she's won over 10 times more than me.

Mindstorms

This is one of the Lego Mindstorms robots I've built. I copied it from some instructions that came from an add on kit for the regular Mindstorms kit. It is made to clean things of tables without falling off. It doesn't fall off because of three sensors, one in the back and two on the front when I make all of the Mindstorms robots from the original kit and the add on one my dad said that I will be able to get the Mindstorms NXT set and build those robots.

My Lego bricks

These are some of the Lego bricks that I own. I use them for a lot of different things. A year ago I made a Lego ship that took me a few days to make.right now I make stop animation films and I'm trying to remake my old Star wars sets. (on the blue box lid.) I think that next I'm probably going to rebuild my international space station if I can find my instructions for it. A lot of times when I get a new Lego set the Instructions get ripped up or lost so I'm trying to find instructions on the computer for them.

Stop animation

This is a clip of one of my stop animation films that I make with Lego minifigs. I make them by setting up a camera on a stand made of Lego bricks. Next I take a picture of the people and I move them a little and take another picture of them. I keep doing that until I want to finish. Then, I can go through the pictures quickly and it makes a short video.

My evil sister N

Yesterday, I was playing/fighting over the swing in our front yard with my sister M when my sister N came out and tortured me. She spun me around real fast and a few minutes after I got off I felt really nauseous I was about to break my fast but I decided not to. I still feel like throwing up a little today.

My First Blog Entry

This weekend was a very hard one. We were fasting so we couldn't eat or drink. My sister named M invited her friend named K, and my friend named A. They slept over and the next day M and K got to play in the sprinkler. A and I got jealous and went and tried to pretend to have fun on the trampoline to make them jealous. Eventually, A and I got tired... very tired. So we played Lego star wars the rest of the day.
