Webkinz

E went to a birthday party a little while ago and her friend received several "webkinz" and everyone was VERY excited. Of course E wanted one and so I learned all about them and our home lived and breathed webkinz. Girls happily and quickly did their chores and life was good. I have to admit even mommy became engrossed in them. When we went to a store here in town to show them to M the lady at the store told me I was probably the last person in the city to learn about them. Wow. I guess I'm out of touch! If it's not at walmart or target it doesn't exist in my world!

Anyways, you buy a little stuffed animal and it has a special code on it's collar and you go to the webkinz website, enter in your code and your animal is now on the computer. It comes with a room for you to decorate and you can buy more rooms and decorate them and add furniture and on and on. You play little games to earn money for it and I have to admit I love it! It is geared for their age so they can do most of the website themself and it is a big treat in our house. The best part - M can use Daddy's old laptop upstairs and E can use our computer downstairs and their pets can visit each other's house! They can play games together and life is wonderful! We don't do that very often but they sure enjoy it!

E has a mommy and a baby black and white cat, M has a unicorn and Mg has an alley cat. E wanted one for her birthday and her birthday happened to be near "webkinz" day - if you bought $10 worth of merchandise at our local store you got to spin a wheel and get a free webkinz! So I bought her present early, spun the wheel and Mg got the alley cat. Actually - the alley cat (Lily) is the one I play with when the kids go to bed and I feel like wasting time :)

E was very excited about the mommy webkinz she got from grandma because the other grandma got clothes for it and life for my dressup princess was perfect!

When I was taking pictures of the webkinz this little one wanted a picture with her bunny...this child won't go to sleep without this bunny! She has loved it since she was very little. Like all good bunnies it has multiplied. I think there are about 6 in our house at the moment! This way we don't have to look too hard to find one!

I guess since we can't have real kitties here our virtual ones will have to suffice!
