My mom watches kids 24/7 she treats them as her own if they get in trouble she scolds them and if they do well they get appraisal for doing good, they're always out doing something whether its the ranch, going to my grandparents in Julian or just hanging out in front yard the kids are always active and learning, Blake and Aiden are 3 and Kane is 2. 

The days we watched my mom with the kids it was like any other day, by the time we got home from school it was lunch time for them so mom would ask them to clean up the toys Aiden wasn’t happy about cleaning up and got mad mom simply told him you have to clean up if you don’t want to eat lunch and go ride bikes he still wouldn’t so she got down on his level and told him firmly but nicely that he needed to help the other boys clean up he still refused and threw toys so he got a time out. Blake and Kane cleaned up like they were told. After Aidens time out he knew he wasn’t doing what was asked of him so he helped clean up and got to ride bikes after lunch.

  The next day I was home with the boys all day if they are good for the majority of the day they get rewarded with doing arts and crafts or going to the racnh for the day. The day that we went to the Ranch they did so well they were listing so well and doing everything mom asked. Regaurdless of their age they are a great help.They help feed the horses and walk them with moms help. Even though Blake wasnt to happy about going home that day he still listened to mom and did what he was asked and had said sorry for not agreeing.

We took the boys to Veijas and walked around like we usually do, they asked if they

were allowed to go play in the water all three got upset that we told them no they couldnt play in the water because it was to cold so Kane ran towards the water anyways, he got in trouble for running away from us so he wasnt allowed to have ice cream as their treat at the end of the day he got mad that he couldnt have ice cream when we all got it and threw a fit. Mom pulled him aside and talked to him about why he didnt get any he understood why and came around to behaving for the rest of the time that we were there.

Another day we watched my mom with the kids it was a normal day at home the boys didnt want to do anything but play with their new train tracks, so they ate breakfast and helped clean up, they played with no issues all the way untill lunch, when they knew it was lunch time they all cleaned up without being asked and got them selfs ready for lunch they had a really good day and followed all the rules she didnt have to say anything to them.

The last day we watched my mom Sierra and I had just come home from school and Kane was just waking up from a nap and wanted to play a bingo game mom helped play the game, she was helping Kane play against Sierra they played alphabet bingo and pop ups for about an hour. Kane always looked to mom for help durring the game she was always there for help and show him the right way to play the game.

Coraline

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Coraline? What kind of name is that you may wonder?  Its the name of young lady 

played by Dakota Fanning. Along with the Mother played by Terri Hatcher and the father played by Charlie Jones. Coraline is a stop motion film directed by Henry Selick. Designed by Neil Gaiman and brought to life in 2009.

Coraline is a movie about a young girl who moves to a new house and discovers a small door in the wall of her new house, when she asks her mother to unlock it for her they find nothing but a brick wall, they think nothing of it. Until later that night a mouse from the other world sneeks through the door, leads Coraline to the other world which causes a large amount of problems for her. She meets her other mother which Coraline thinks is the most amazing person at the time...for the time being that is, she thinks the same of her other father as well. As time goes by she realizes that everything isnt what it seems and isnt perfect. SPOILER! Dont read any further if you havent seen the movie.

 As Coralines other mother traps her in the other world Coraline realizes what shes trying to do so she tries to escaspe, she makes it home but realizes that she has taken her real parents to the other world and is holding them hostage. Coraline goes back into the other world and makes a deal with her other mother that if she wins a game she is allowed to go home, back to her normal life, with her real parents. She does all the other mother wanted and fights to get back home..does she make it home? youll have to watch the movie and see!
    The costume desgin of this movie took time and patience none the less, it took a lot of time to plan out what each character would wear and when. Take into concideration that its a stop motion film so costumes have to be made for almost every movement the character makes, say Coraline falls in the dirt, 4 to 8 costumes may need to be made for them do do the scene of her falling in the dirt.
  Set design is another aspect of filiming along with costume design they have to go through and make the set peices move one at a time for an example flowers, if they wanted to make the flowers move in the brease they would have to take a shot of the scene and then go back and move the flower every time to look like they are flowing in the wind.
  All together the movie looked prettty good they did a good job on costume design and set design, although some scences lookes as though they were still a bit slow in reasction time. The story line its self seems kind of dark for a childrens movie, other than that the movie was all over done pretty well.

  

X-Factor!

                                                                X Factor

Its Wednesday night do you know what that means!? X Factor Premier! If you didn’t watch you don’t know what your missing! The judges, Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, LA Reid and Britney Spears, are both shocked and disgusted in what they see when some of the contestants come on stage. They start off in Austin Texas where they meet some people who have the talent and others who as Simon says “should have never been let on stage.” One young lady comes on and impresses the judges they say they have a good start to their day. Their not so lucky after her there were a lot of people who didn’t live up to the standards. Another older man comes on he is 50 years old, Shaun Paterson, he claims to be the best and says he’s a song writer/dancer Simon seems skeptic about this one everyone else is so far entertained Shaun says he is singing his original song, he sings, and gets kicked. off Britney looks at everyone shocked at what they just saw, Simon comments that he “should never sing again” they see more and more failures later in the show one young lady comes on and she claims to be “the best” and “no one can beat her” she sings Fireworks by Katy Perry and completely bombs the song she was very monotone with her voice. Simon, LA, Britney and Demi all agree that she “sounded like she was dying” and “should never sing on TV ever again”. As she leaves in a hissy fit LA asks “where’s all the talent?!” Well they got talent when they came to San Francisco but he defiantly was different Quatrele walks on stage with a wedding veil, white jacket, short white lacy shorts, fish nets and well yes he’s shocking to look at, the judges ask him questions about himself, he defiantly isn’t afraid to be himself! He sings and blows the crowd away LA is the first to speak up he denies Quatrele to go on Demi, Britney and Simon all let him through to the next level. LA asks Simon “What happened to you?! Your nice all of a sudden!” as that day goes along there’s more No’s than Yes’s.
One man Don Phillups comes on stage and instantly Britney recognizes who he is, about 10 years ago they recorded a song together he had gone through some hard ships so he stopped singing he came back to try to make a come back. He sings Halo by Beyonce, Simon stops him in the midst of his performance and tells him that he’s not what their looking for Demi and LA agree that he wont be making it through. He turns to Britney hoping she will say something good to him, the only thing she can bare to get out is “No”
He goes off stage an emotional wreck, Britney tears up a bit as well. They move on to Rhode Island where they meet Janelle Garcia, she has a “Pat Benatar sound” and they like it the judges are very impressed with her and tell her “they cant wait to see her again”

Next they meet a young lady Julian age 19, she comes on stage and her and Demi hit home they both went through similar struggles in their life Julian was also bullied growing up, she sings Who You Are by Jesse J and starts crying after the songs finished Demi tears up as well gets up from the judges table to hug this young lady Demi continues to tell her “you’ve made it this far don’t give up you’re a strong girl” the judges have nothing but complements for her Simon and LA both say they have never heard so much pain and emotion put into a song the way she sang it, she makes it through to the next level.

                                                      X Factor Day 2

Back to the fun of X Factor, they start out in San Francisco again where they meet Johnny a young man just trying to make it in the big time, LA and Simon enjoy his stage presence, Demi and Britney tell him he has a good voice and he makes it through to the next level. Next a girl named Alexa comes about she tries to talk down to everyone making herself seem better, when she walks on stage Demi and Britney both look at each other like where did she come from she sings Promises by Nero, no one was impressed she sang very monotone and blah they tell her she wasn’t good enough. More and more people come on stage and no one impresses the judges. Back to Rohde Island they go where they meet Patrick, who believes he is Britney’s brother, he walks on stage with a bouquet of flowers for Britney pours his heart out to her about how he loves her and how they are related he tells the judges that hes going to sing Circus by Britney as hes singing they all look at each other in shock he was just about half crazy and half terrible. When they stop him to tell him he didn’t make it he freaks out telling everyone how he loves Britney, which freaks her out, they tell him he didn’t make it and he storms off stage in a huff. After more people they finally get one a young girl named Carly, 13, sings Feeling Good by Nina Simone and does amazing she blows away the judges Demi says that she is “absolutely obsessed with her now” and Simon tells her “A star has been born today” and she makes it trough to the next level.
