Fun Friday: Minecraft Meets Spongebob on the iPad

Third Friday of the month:  Hobbies / Recreation / Games

There's no denying the strong presence of tablets and laptops in our kids' generation.  Most of our children, even toddlers, are more tech-savvy than their grannies! It's no different in my household, having a techie husband and (slightly) techie kids.  Apps are part of their language now, and they know what they need and want to use on their iPads.  

The boy has a flair for iPad games and gadgets.  If he only put the same amount of effort in his homework as he does searching and seriously studying online game tutorials, then maybe I don't have to tutor him anymore! I've already shared our views here about studying and video games.

Writing this post last night...
with the iPad game still running on his lap!

Moving on to our guest post - the boy has been using this iPad app more often lately, and he's been sending us screen shots via email.  The "artwork" are funny and generally amusing.  It's actually nice to receive an email from him among the usual clutter.  Without further ado, here's the boy, sharing his latest form of entertainment.  I'm also learning about it here. =)
He typed half of his blog post, the rest he dictated to me.

App: Catcrafter

This is my funny pic!
Spongebob and Minecraft. I used the App: Catcrafter.
Spongebob and Patrick are in the Goofy Goober party hut and have different faces.
Steve joins them with his spider jockey pal.  Steve is from Minecraft.


What is Catcrafter, I asked:

Catcrafter lets you customize pictures.  I used screen shots from Spongebob movie and put Minecraft stuff on it.


Funny pics 2. Same app: Catcrafter.
That's King Neptune and a spider from Minecraft, which is attacking him!
He's yelling and made everyone on fire but the spider.


YES! YEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
Yelling sponge! And he spit out a fire block on that fish person.  And Squidward got surprised, that's why he looks like that!


My pet wolf on Minecraft.  The wolf was made from Catcrafter.


Join the new realms for Minecraft and explore your survival!

Okay... I didn't get what he meant with that closing statement, hahaha...

His "creations" looked kinda weird at first, but at least now I understand what he's been doing! =)
So, what apps have you or your kids/siblings been using lately?

Mom-Style: Jackie of Go! Jackie Go

I can't believe I have not posted a Mom-Style for over a year!  Let me make this first Mom-Style of 2013 worthwhile for you as I present this pretty young mom with style and substance.  

We've been following each other's blogs before we met in late 2011 when I invited her to an intimate function.  I can safely say we hit it off instantly, and I'd like to think it was the start of a real friendship on- and offline.  I'm proud to introduce today's Mom-Style mom on the spotlight - Jackie of Go! Jackie Go!

1. Please share with us what your typical day is like?
My schedule is very dependent on my eldest Gabbie’s school.  She started preschool last November 2012, so we are still in the adjusting phase.

My mornings are dedicated to taking care of the needs of my kids:  Feeding, giving them baths, fixing their things & clothes to wear, very much mom-duties.  Afternoons are usually nap time, but it is also the time I do errands and for events or work.

Fun Friday: Game of Clash of Clans and Minecraft

Third Friday of the month:  Hobbies / Recreation / Games

After almost four years of blogging, this is the first time I'm allowing someone to take over my Friday feature.  I have a scheduled post for today but have not gotten around to final editing since I had been plagued by headaches and migraines this week.  I actually panicked 'coz I had no back-up post for today.  Thankfully, my boys here were playing their father-son game on the iPad last night and it gave me an idea.

This is an impromptu post which turned out to be a perfect opportunity to share one of my boy's many interests with you, and at the same time, allowed him to apply what he has learned in narrative writing from school.

Let me introduce to you my boy - please indulge him with his first official blog post. =)
