Finding The Perfect Tree

Today my mom,grandparents,and I went to get a Christmas tree.We found one that wasn't to tall,or prickly, or skinny, and reserved it.  Half the time my mom and I just ran around the trees like the crazy people we are and hid from each other.Yes I played tag with my mom. Get over it. So that is just about it.We did boring stuff afterwards like went to the grocery store etc. etc. We did go to the library and I got the sequel to a book I read, Aliens on Vacation.It sounds lame but it's actually pretty good.My mom wants me to read more mature books,which I do,but once in a while I read a lame and or/below my reading level book.There very well written sometimes and have more interesting plot lines occasionally.So this is it for now.I did a new drawing on my "drawings" page, it is some doodles from the last invisible boy.

Cards

Yesterday I was in the pharmacy and saw two funny birthday cards.Here they are.


front: "I have something for you".

Inside: "you're holding it."


Front: I thought a pile of money would be a decent birthday present..."

Inside: "But the mall cops got me in the fountain before I could scrape up a respectable amount"

I'm pretty sure that that is what the said.Funny right?

The Sisters Grimm.

The Sisters Grimm is an awesome series by Michel Buckley! It is about two sisters who's parents disappeared  a couple of years ago and they are running away from foster parent to foster parent.Their newest foster parent is an old woman who claims to be there long lost grandmother and she also says that they are all the descendants of the Grimm brothers and that all fairy tale characters are real.The older of the two,Sabrina,thinks the lady is crazy and she and her sister,Daphne,try to run away but it turns out "Relda" was right, she is kidnapped by a giant!That is how the first book starts.I don't like the first as much as all the other ones so if you don't like the first at all, skip it and read the others.I give the series a 10/10.I have read all the books and was very sad when they ended.:( They are funny and well written.Let's give a round of applause to Michel Buckley! *clap*clap* :)

Cookies and Improv

Today I went to my friend Indi's house and we Hung around outside and did improv comedy. We did it so we would alternate letters in the alphabet we would have to use as the first letter in our sentence,for instance "an alligator told me one day that string cheese isn't made from rope and cheese and I was devastated."(not funny I know but I did this for a while so give me a break :) and did that for a while while playing basketball on and off.We then went inside and went on stumbleupon.com and looked up cute pictures of animals and tried not to laugh.I wasn't to bad.... except if Indi laughed I would laugh cause whenever someone laughs it makes me laugh which is weird.We also found a page on the coolest animals humans bred into the world.They had a Saarlos wolfhond and a silver fox.Both dog hybrids.Look it up and be amazed at how epic they are.There was also a serval/house cat mix.These are all completley domesticated(kinda for the wolfhond) and cost thousands of dollars.There goes all my money....So then we ate dinner with Indi's family and we went to bake cookies for our church bake sale or something.That was pretty fun and my Nani picked me up and we went home and here I am.I got to go finish rough drafts of stuff I wrote so,

Christmas

I love christmas.Love, love, LOVE it.I really don't like the weeks right before and after it though because before it,you are bored and can't wait for it to come with all your relatives visiting and cookies and presents and even the kinda stupid holiday specials(haha) then after it your so sad you have to wait a whole YEAR for it to come around again.Time is tricky like that.The present isn't the present for long until it is the past.I just typed the word "past" now that is in the past.Weird when you think about it to much.I Apolagize for how short this is.

     P.S   My next post will probably be about one of my favorite book series, The Sister's Grimm.

Wreck it Ralph

A couple of weeks ago I saw Wreck it Ralph!It was really good!I think it was a little bit less humor  than I expected but it was still amazing.I really like the whole concept how the video game characters were alive and everything.I would give it a 9/10.(One point away because of less humor than I thought). It starts out with Ralph talking about how he wants to be appreciated for his job as a bad guy, and then....well...I don't want to give anything away so I'll just end it with saying it's a good movie.:)

P.S I bought the last invisible boy cause I liked it so much!(I had got it at the library first)

  P.P.S I will draw some of the characters from both Last invisible boy and Wreck it Ralph and put them on here soon.

Been Busy

Happy Belated thanksgiving everyone!!Sorry my relatives came over and stayed for a couple days so i just hung out with them and didn't write much on here.My friends came over today and we decorated sugar cookies with colored icing and about a thousand different sprinkle shapes and choc. chips in stuff.We went outside after lunch and played catch and climbed trees and just goofed around.We used a log to get to the other side of a stream/river/brook/not sure which  one to call it and one of my friends wanted to make a bridge so we could get back easier and two of my Friends (let's call them Nick and Colin) grabbed a heavy short log and we all got it across the brook and it turned out to be harder to cross than the log.All that work for nothing,......So yeah that was just pretty boring but sorry,i got to go and stop putting off doing my homework.......maybe one more minute....Man I'm getting hungry....Well i don't know were I'm going with this so,

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

This is a review about possibly the best book series ever. period.This is a series about a boy named Percy who finds out that his dad is a Greek god and Greek myths a real.He is taken to a place by his mom and best friend Grover to a camp for kids like him(demigods,half god half mortal) called camp half-blood.He then goes on a quest to retrieve Zeus's stolen master lightning bolt with Grover and another demigod, Annabeth.That is how the first book starts.There are 5 in total.It is an amazing book series,especially if you love mythology.It is a very funny series.There is a movie for the first book and DO NOT watch the movie if you have any interest in the books.Read the books first.

Sharks, not your typical “Jaws”.

   Most people don’t like sharks. It’s probably because they seem to be always attacking people in the ocean. However, this is not true.

Of the 400 species of sharks that we know of, only 12 are dangerous. Also, you are 250 times more likely to be struck by lightning than be killed by a shark. Watch out for that thunderstorm!

Some ways you can help prevent a shark attack even more are, don’t swim in the ocean during dawn, dusk, and night, that is when sharks come close to shore and feed. Next, never go in the ocean if you are bleeding, sharks can smell a drop of blood from a mile away. Always stay near a lifeguard, they can warn you if they see a shark.

One of my favorite facts about sharks is that there are 43,674 more injuries associated with toilets compared to injuries with sharks. Another cool thing about sharks is that whenever a shark loses a tooth, another one moves to the front! All the front teeth have rows behind them in case one falls out! One more sweet fact, the only reason most sharks would bite you is because they use their mouth to feel, like we use our hands .They quickly realize we taste bad, and swim away.

Sharks have gotten a bad rap for far too long.  The ocean is their home, and if we choose to swim in it, we can take steps to coexist peacefully. They are amazing creatures who deserve respect. I hope this helps you understand sharks, be less afraid of them, and realize how totally awesome they are!!

 I made a new page on my blog just for my drawings!It will have an icon near the top of the page,by "home" and "Wesley the dog's thoughts"

The Third Wheel

Lately I've been doing a lot of book reviews, I am almost done with my shark article!So the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid is even better than the rest!This one is mostly about how Greg is going to the school valentine's day dance and is racing to find a date.He tries many times and fails. He FINALLY  finds one and goes with her and Rowley(as a group of friends),but not everything goes as planned but I won't spoil it or anything.If you haven't read the others,read them first.I would give it a 9/10.I know it seems like a always give books that but this is because if I don't like a book I usually don't bother to finish it!I have a new page on my blog called drawings and that's were I'll be posting some new drawings once in a while.

When You Reach Me Review

I got this book a while ago form a relative and it was called When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead.It was autographed by the author!I had so many books to read that I didn't read it for a while but then I started reading it and I couldn't put it down!It is half mystery half fantasy I guess.I really like the main character, Miranda.It isn't super short or super long,It is about 198 pages.It is about this girl Miranda and her everyday life but she keeps getting sent mysterious letters that claim the sender is trying to save her friend's life.It is really good and the characters are really in depth,not really flat.The book is a Newbery Medal winner of 2010 and a bunch of other awards.I think it was a really good book and hope you read it too.

The last invisible boy

Hey everyone! whats up? So I read this book called The Last Invisible Boy by Evan Kuhlman and it was really good!At first I was kind of confused because I was thinking more of like a fantasy novel when I picked it up(my friend kept bugging me to read it)But it is more like Diary of a Wimpy Kid in the sense that it is journal style and has lots of drawings.I doodle like that alot now!I would give it a 9 out of ten.There were somesad parts and some happy parts.Here is a quick drawing of the main character,Finn.

i made the font like the book cover!haha.

adios,
