Sep 05, 2011 - One of the cool things about being a 5-year old is that you get new clothes every season. The downside is that you outgrow some of your favorite shirts and have to give them away. Summer is almost over for us and it will start to get a bit cold in the next few weeks. Given that it was the long Labor Day weekend and we did not go out anywhere, my parents decided to visit my wardrobe and clean out some stuff that was getting old or starting to get small. I also had to make some space for the new clothes my parents bought a couple of weeks ago. My parents put a lot of my clothes in a box to give away to charity but they held onto 5 of the shirts that they liked. You can see from what they picked that my Dad likes rock music and my mom picked one for her "Her Lucky Charm" and the other two they picked together. It was a fun time going through all my clothes. I have new clothes for school and the Fall and the summer clothes that are in good shape go to charity. |
Presidents vs Aliens iPad Game

Sep 01, 2011 - In June this year, I had some family visit us and we went to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas where they have a museum in honor of President John F Kennedy. I did not know much about our presidents except for those who were on the bills. My parents had also got me a Melissa and Doug Presidents puzzle so I developed an interest in the US presidents. Since then I have brought books from the Library and read about the US presidents and their families. The iPad has many apps that have information about the US Presidents and so I was able to learn about each president. I know things such as the order of the presidents, when they were in office, when they were born and other interesting facts about them. Recently my Dad download a gamed called Presidents vs Aliens where I answer questions about Presidents. If I get the answer, then I get to shoot some aliens. Once I see all the aliens I earn a President and I do this till I get all the 44 Presidents. Once I have collected all of them, I can play a couple of more games including arranging the presidents in order. I loved this game and completed it this week. |
