 | | Jan 28, 2012 - Today is a special day (yes its a Lowes Build and Grow Day as well) but its also my parent's wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy. Now that its out of the way, lets get back to my Build and Grow. Today is the 2nd BAG day for 2012 and we are building a dinosaur. Since my parents had already registered my name, it was easy for me to get my kit. Today's kit was a lot of fun because it was easy to build and there were a lot of stickers that we had to stick. I had a choice between making a real dinosaur or a cartoon dino. I preferred to make a cartoon dino because he is less scary. I am not scared but there were smaller kids so that's why. The cartoon dino had a lot of green and black spots around him and it took us a while to stick those stickers. I gave my dino the name "Gogo the Dino" and also told my dad that he had chicken pox. When we came out, we found that our car had a flat tire. The AAA guy came and fixed it. In the evening, we had a party at my friend Riya's house where I met my preschool friends Manav, Neerali and Siddharth too. We cut a cake to celebrate my parent's anniversary. It was a fun day. |
The Find the Landmark Game

 | | Jan 6, 2012 - Today I was a bit bored and so I decided to come up with a new game called "Find the Landmark". I think I was inspired by my most favorite show "The Amazing Race". Th game is quite simple really. You take two sheets of paper. On one paper, you need to write the name of a city and on the other paper you need to write the name of a famous landmark in that city. You create as many sets of these city and landmarks as you want. I created a few of them.
My first players were my parents and they had a lot of fun playing this game. They were able to find the landmarks. I will play this again soon with new landmarks. |
Celebrating the New Year with Phineas and Ferb

 | Jan 1, 2012 - First, I would like to wish all my friends and family a wonderful 2012. Its always nice to start the year with something exciting and my parents had a wonderful surprise for me. They had booked tickets to the Phineas and Ferb Live tour which happened to be passing through Dallas this weekend. We woke up a bit late (partying and all that stuff you know), had a nice good breakfast and was ready for the show. My mother had my "Phineas and Ferb" t-shirt ready to go as well. We had to drive to the city of Garland where the show was going to be held. There must have been 1000-1500 people at the show today. The show started on time and it had all the characters from the show including Phineas and Ferb (of course), Candace, Jeremy, Isabella, Stacy, Buford and Beljeet. Of course Perry and Dr Doofablahblah (I will call him Dr D) were there as well. The show was for about 90 minutes and was broken into 2 acts. Its mostly a musical act and they play a lot of the popular Phineas and Ferb songs such as Backyard Beach, Robot Riot, Everything's better with Perry and many other songs. They also had a cool Bollywood song too (see the video below). If you like Phineas and Ferb and their songs then you will love this show. I had a great time and it was a great way to kick off the new year. |
