HARRY POTTER

Little did I realize in 1997 when I got my son Jake his first Harry Potter book that Harry would still be around 13 years later and just as popular as ever, Harry that is not Jake, although Jake is a pretty popular guy too, anyway I digress…

Here is the first trailer I’ve seen.  I will post more as I see them.

PiCASSOHEAD

I found this cool site on Mrs. Short’s blog the other day.  It’s called Picassohead.

Pablo Picasso was a really famous Spanish sculptor and   artist who painted and created all kinds of interesting artwork.

His full name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Crispiniano de la Santísima Trinidad.    Which is probably what his mother yelled at him with when he was at trouble at home.

He’s famous for painting pictures like this one.

Anyway here is a neat site that allows you to paint like Mr. P.  Here are two pictures I created.  One is of Emma and the other is Julia.

Mr.Alvaro i was thinking what if someone could post a wall so everyone can tell about their summer break over the summer.Then we could all talk over the summer to each other.

Sounds like a great idea to me so here’s a wall to write all you want.
