Lego Star Wars

These are the games Lego Star Wars 1 and 2. One is the first three episodes and one is the last three episodes. We got the first one because we spent two nights at our friends house and they had an Xbox 360 which we played on every day and they had Lego Star Wars 1 and I liked it a lot. They told me that there was a version for PC (since I don't have a console) so soon after we bought that for 20 bucks which I think is too much for a game and a few days ago we got Lego Star Wars 2. We figured that the 2nd one had better graphics and more things to do and more levels and... and... and... Well you get the point. But when we figured out the new one called the
Saga (which had more levels and a lot more features) came out on everything BUT PC we got disappointed- even though it was 40 bucks.. Twice the amount of regular video games.

"arts and crafts"

This is one of the strange arts that my brother made in his kindergarten class. I dont know why it looks so ugly but my sister claims that his teacher cut out the shapes for him. As you can see theres a backwards y.v.b on the "shirt". This he got from africa when he saw every thing with y.v.b. on it. He soon learned these were his initials but he couldnt quite get the y and the b right. In school he memorized the "Three little pigs" in his own way. but the day after he got a paper bag puppet of a pig and he lost it and he refuses to say the story unless he finds his puppet. I like how my brother made the arms. The teeny hands and the arms are twice as big.

Harry potter

These are my sisters harry potter books. Not mine. I read the first chapter of the second book before and it wasn't interesting. My sister, however IS interested in them. One time my dad told her to read the first page of the first book and she ended up reading the whole book. From then on whenever another book came out, it was her first priority to buy it. No matter the price. Now she's read every book cover to cover more than five times. I don't see why she likes harry potter though. I guess it's fair. I like Star wars, she likes harry potter. Whenever we watch a movie she keeps talking about how they skipped a lot of chapters and we can't enjoy the movie. The good part is when she's reading she doesn't bother me.

The new improved toy area

This is a picture of our "improved" toy area from now on known as the classroom.This is also where we're going to put my Mom's and Dads computer. Last time I showed you a picture of the toy area all messy but now it got cleaned up so that my sister and I can have a place to work... Even though we already had a place to work. Now my little brother found all the old toys and he plans to play with them when he gets home from school today. Now I'm afraid that we'll have to work hours and hours and hours and hours longer because this is now our official learning space and that can mean a lot. I'm just hoping that no more books arrive in the mail because we've already got to many books.... and I'm already way too tired to do any more work.

My sister's basketball hoop

This is a picture of my sisters basketball hoop. She likes basketball a lot so last month she decided to get her own basketball and hoop. She bought the hoop for $100 and the basketball for $20. Now she practices every day but she wont let anyone use her ball... Even when she's not using it. That means we have to use the old ball and we never compete. Also, when we were building the hoop she only let me do the hard stuff and wouldn't let me do any fun things. Now when we practice, I don't try to shoot. I was never good at that. Instead I practice dribbling on a tile in the grass so I can practice my aim for when I play basketball to trick people more.

Water guns

These are my $130 worth of water guns. But it's weird that we only bought them for $57.50. The red ones we bought for full price: $10 each. The
white ones we bought at half price:$10 because it just happened to be time for clearance at Wall mart.The blue water gun came with a backpack for 7 dollars. It was worth 30 dollars. And the four other backpacks we got for $2.50 each, they're worth $10 each. We haven't had a real water gun fight with the blue one yet because its new. We had a two person battle with it but that doesn't count in my opinion. One of the red ones doesn't work well, I have no idea what happened to it. The two white ones work fine but we've never actually put ice in them like your supposed to. I'm planning on having a water gun fight on the weekend with them.

Our computers

This is a picture of two of our computers. We also have four more, but two of those don't work. The one on the left is my dads computer and the one on the right is my moms. But my moms computer is slow. We also have one downstairs but that wont even start up properly. We have my dads old laptop, the kids laptop and my moms laptop. The only reason I use the computers is because I have to do my blog, play Runescape play Lego star wars, play other games on the Internet and read BBC.
