After a trying couple of weeks, things are brighter again. For starters, 15, YES, FIFTEEN days of school left!! Woohoo!! Of course, we've already been given most of the month of June to return for professional learning sessions with offers of stipends that will barely cover the cost of gas & daycare. Yet, the promises of summer still beckon to me. The promise of days at the pool with the kids, trips back home to go to the beach, VBS, and days of sleeping in helps to ease the dragging days ahead.
Rebekah celebrated her 8th birthday last month. One of her presents was a Webkinz. Not familiar? I didn't know what they were until Rebekah received her little Dalmation. WE ARE HOOKED. In going with my true nature of having no shame, I must admit that I have found myself up late playing the games and earning Kinzcash. Really, there should be a warning of addiction on these things. Remember the old "Neopets?" Well, here is the new generation where you also get a plush toy of your pet. These are certainly cuter and paying between $9.99-12.99 per pet has proven cheaper than a real pet! (Lots cleaner & easier to maintain, too! :) My sister bought Rebekah and Micah another one last night, & bought me the Pet of the Month, the panda. I, of course, had to name her Ling-Ling in honor of the late Ling-Ling. (I also found another Ling-Ling that passed in the 90's. This is the one I was actually thinking of when I first heard the news.)
Well, here's promises of pictures to be posted soon! (That is if I have time between caring for our FOUR "pets!") LOL

If you have only just learned of Webkinz, then Kasey and I have been SO lacking in our roles of cousin and aunt (Okay, just add it to the list!)In our house, upon our wall, is the hallowed Webkinz wall. I know, get a life. Glad to see you posting! I check EVERY day! Love you! Miss you! The other KJ.
