Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series Book Review by Guest Author Kobe (age 8-almost 9)

I have five Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. The names are:

Book 1 is Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Book 2 is Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules

Book 3 is Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Last Straw

Book 4 is Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do It Yourself

Book 5 is Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days

The colors of the books are: Red is book 1 and book 4, Blue is book 2, Green is book 3 and yellow is book 5. The characters are: Greg, Rowley, Mom, Dad, Dog, Creighton, Manny and Rodrick.

The newest one is Dog Days and it came out on October 12, 2009 and we got it on October 12, 2009. We put it on hold at Barnes and Noble so we were one of the first ones to get it.

These are my favorite books! I like them because the comics are humongously funny. I like them so much I bring all 5 books to school everyday. My favorite one is Book 1.

My favorite comic is:

"Doctor could I have a new butt?" "My old one has a crack in it".

"Creighton, I told you a million times everyone's butt has a crack in it".

"Oh yeah I forgot".

You should read the books because the comics are just funny. I would have to say that this book series is for second grade and up.

Thanks for reading my book review.

Time Flies...

Dear Friends,

So much to write about and so little time...sigh...I'll fill you in on all the happenings soon. I've got so much to share with you...some photos of our front landscaping project, the progress I'm making in my creative writing class, the kids excitement about Halloween, my Simple Abundance re-awakening (thanks Aunt Amelia)...and some sad and heartbreaking news about my brothers room-mate! So, without even telling you what happened...I would so very much appreciate your prayers for my brother Aaron...I promise to fill you in soon when I have more time to write.

I haven't even had much time to visit all of your blogs and I MISS YOU! I'll be back soon.

Nesting...

There is much nesting going on in my home in the past couple of weeks. A refocus on our home instead of other things. An excuse of being too busy has been used for the past few years. Busy we are, but there is still time to take care of the home we love. Some things have been neglected and now need to be tended to.

Together a list was penned and progress has already been made on the marking off of things. Marked off things like 30 year old overgrown shrubs are now gone. New and younger looking plants are going in their well established place. Paint will soon be scraped, old and warped floors replaced, needle-crafts that decorate our home will be picked up again, things we don’t need given to those who do.

Spring and Fall are always nesting times for me.

Fall...the time to tidy up our home and make it cozy and comfortable for the coming holiday celebrations and winters snuggle in.

Spring...the time to open up, air out and pare down for the simpler summer days ahead.

As my spring and summer cleaning was deep this year, the fall work will be too.

Crossing things off the list feels good. Like Progress.
