Winter Wonderland

Is everyone enjoying the snow?!  I know I am, to the right is a picture of me diving head first in to the snow!!!!  Can you believe that this is supposedly the fifth biggest snow storm in D.C.!  Almost 20 inches!  I can’t wait to get back out there and play in the snow some more!!!!  Have a wonderful time in the winter wonderland!

The holiday’s are coming up.  Do you have any homemade present ideas that are easy, fun and everyone will love? Share your ideas!

This new band really caught our eye (or ear) called Cage the Elephant. Especially their song “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked“. This band has a different sound compared to what you normally would here . It has a unique, intriguing and fun sound that can be listened to over and over. -ABK

I am not sure wether I am team jacob or team edward, maybe I can be both!?  On one hand Jacob stood by Bella when Edward was gone and he is just plain CUTE but on the other hand I feel so dedicated to edward and he is cute too( but seemed a little wimpy in New Moon)!  I will try to make up my mind soon!!! But if not- both will be fine!

This movie was funny and amusing at some times but the overall plot was cheesy. I enjoyed watching the movie but it’s a movie you only need to see one time. It’s not one of those movies you want to see over and over again.

Life as We Knew It

by Susan Beth Pfeffer

life as we knew it

A meteor is going to hit the moon. Everyone is celebrating and having a party, like its no big deal. But then things really begin to change. The moon comes closer in orbit to the earth. Everything goes haywire. There are tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes, and storms! There are mosquitoes, bugs and illness.  The main character Miranda lives with her family and keeps a diary about all of the changes happening in the world and all her feelings about all thats going on.

I loved this book!  I couldn’t put it down.  What was so cool about this book was that everytime i put it down it took me a couple seconds to realize that I wasn’t in the book.  I could really feel all the things the characters went through  and all the changes that were happening.  It made me feel so thankful for what I have!

Happy Halloween!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet several of my favorite authors at The Library of Congress’ National Book Festival. The highlight was meeting Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, authors of The Spiderwick Chronicles, Judy Blume and of course Elmo. :)
