Webkinz part 2


I forgot to say this in 2007 but lets just say it is 2007.So for my birthday I got three more webkinz I named one of them Kate and one of them Miley and one of them is Rudolph.Kate is a poodle,Miley is a dog (which I do not know what kind) and Rudolph is a reindeer. Here is a part from my mom's blog about Webkinz. It is a story about me and my brother Joe.


And finally this week, we have the story of Joe, Maggie and the Webkinz. Joe and Maggie share a Webkinz. For any of you who don't know what that is, here's the general idea. You buy this little stuffed animal of your choice. It has a code on the tag. When you register your Webkinz online, you enter this virtual world of pet care...you can earn money by playing educational games, and then use the money to buy clothes, food, toys, etc.. for your virtual pet. This is the perfect pet for children in a family of five. Anyway, yesterday, Joe came to me, complaining about the Webkinz. Apparently, he had spent five days earning and saving "KinzKash"...he'd managed to make about 600 KinzKash dollars. Then, Maggie logged on and spent the bulk of their savings on clothes, sandwich makers, blenders and cookbooks for their Webkinz. Joe was apparently upset because she neglected to buy any actual food for their pet...who was starving. I found this to be a unique opportunity to explain certain facts of life to Joe. As in, the boy earns the money and the girl spends it! But hey, I have to agree with Maggie on one point...the webkinz sure looked cute in her new outfits! This morning (in the extra hour we had before church because of daylight savings time) Maggie was doing some online shopping for her Webkinz. She really thought her pet would enjoy some exerise in a swimming pool. So she was shopping around for the best price. When I questioned her as to whether or not Joe knew about this potential expenditure, she wouldn't answer. Luckily, Joe came in just then and saw what she was looking at. His comment to her was, "Maggie, WE ARE NOT BUYING A SWIMMING POOL FOR OUR WEBKINZ UNTIL WE BUY A BACKYARD TO PUT IT IN!!!!" This has been one of my favorite exchanges between Joe and Maggie in a long time, and I thought you all might enjoy it as well.




My mom also had a new baby this week. My new brother, Jack Clarence, was born on Saturday, January 10, 2009. He is so cute...here is a picture of him with my brother Harry.





I also turned 8 and got baptized in December 2008...here is a picture of me and my friend Ashlynn with my cool CTR shield cake.
