Sketching in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts

Grammy May got us a yearly pass to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Here I am making a rough sketch in my notebook so I can take it home and draw my own.

My Passion: Why Is It So Hard For Others to Understand?

No matter how many times we go through this, is seems that neither my parents nor my grandparents understand how much I prefer peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to their suggested ham and cheese sandwiches.

Let me show you how strongly I feel about this. Below the video that shows the passion of my desires are the lyrics for those who do not understand Spanish.


Frente a Frente, Rocio Durcal

AGAIN and AGAIN (Sung to the tune of Frente A Frente in the style of Rocio Durcal) [Instrumental introduction] [To be sung with deep passion, heartache, pain, and anger] You ask me if I’m hungry, You ask me what I want for lunch, [pointing your finger] You tease me! Oh, please me! Of course you know I’m hungry. [embracing your stomach] When I tell you what I want, Again and again, you taunt, You tell me that I can't. So why do you ask! [hands outstreteched] Why do you tease! Is it to harass? Oh, please, My stomach is empty. Of course I am hungry. Again and again, Of course, you know what I want. So, why do you taunt Again and again? You know what I want. It’s the same every day. I want …. I need… I love… [left hand with index finger, thumb touching] If I may, Oh, please listen, please listen! Do I have to say it again! And again! And again! All I want is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Is that too much to ask? What part of PB&J is hard to understand. Oh, again and again. Why is it so difficult to understand? Oh, why do you tease. If not to please. [and then a little, slow, flamingo, instrumental only; a dream-state of that perfect PB&J sandwich] Yes, I am hungry. I want… I need ... I love… My peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I don’t want your ham and cheese. [throw your left hand up and out] [Sung with more passion, disbelief, anger, frustration] Please, I beseech thee, Just one little peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And, no, don’t ask. I’m not having carrots. Either. [Again, a little, slow, flamingo, instrumental only;thinking of the PB&J sandwich, clicking your tongue; spinning] [Finale]

Grammy is Zorro!

Grammy takes fencing lessons every Thursday night at the Boston Fencing Club. I think her great-papa was Zorro!


Zorro!

Updating My Blog!

It seems it's a never-ending chore updating my blog!

It will be a lot easier when I get the iPad and I can do it on the go.  It's nice Grammy lets me borrow her computer.

Happy New Year!

Hi, everyone,

Arianna and I are enjoying "www.pbskids.org" -- in our parents' home office.

Learning to Sew

Hi, everyone,


Grammy is teaching us how to sew. Arianna already made a Girl Scout / Brownie skirt.


Here's a picture of me making a little bag.

Merry Christmas!

We wish you a Merry Christmas, 
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas, 
And a Happy New Year!

Yes! The first snowfall of the season -- December 6, 2009.  


Merry Christmas to all!

Time to Write Your Letters to Santa!

Now that Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is over, it's time to start looking forward to Christmas.


My sister and I writing (printing) our letters to Santa Claus!


If you haven't written your letter to Santa Claus, you need to start today. Before you know it, Christmas will be here.


Some of us will be printing.
