Pink Party Prep
 Hey everyone! It’s Salley here. I’m writing today because Molly is SOOOO busy! You would not believe how much work that girl is doing to make this party a success. She’s been helping EVERYONE make decisions, buy stuff, and decorate. Which brings me to what we did today: we assisted Fluffinton in making his ballroom beautiful! The ‘Kinz (and about twenty other volunteers) moved tables, arranged chairs, hung streamers and banners, and made sure Fluffington’s house was spotless! I think that in terms of décor, the only thing we have left to do is blow up balloons –which we won’t do until right before the party. I’m getting SO excited – this is going to be amazing!
A Leafy Afternoon
 Sparky here, dudes! We had an epic afternoon at school! We got to spend the whole afternoon outdoors. Ms. Cowoline gave us a challenge. We had to go out and find as many different types of leaves in as many different colors as we could. When we came back we would have a competition to see who found the widest variety of leaves, who found the biggest leaf, who found the brightest red, etc., etc. – you get the idea, right? So I went exploring in Kinzville Park. I was determined the win with the biggest leaf. I searched and searched and searched. There was one leaf that was bigger than my hand. That WAS pretty big, but not big enough. Then I found one as big as my foot! Big – but I was sure I could do better. Just as I heard Ms. Cowoline blow her whistle letting us know it was time to line up back at the school, I saw the most gigantic golden maple leaf I had ever seen, hanging from a high branch. I had to have it. I jumped up trying to reach it, but it was just too high. Then I … Read more

Chef Gazpacho’s Pink Drinks
        Hello! Chef Gazpacho here with some perfectly pink drinks to celebrate our Pink Party with your pet! You’ll need to get a blender at the W Shop to make these drinks.  First, how about making a Cream Soda Float? Visit the W Shop and get some red fruit, something cold and conical, and the most obvious ingredient of all! If you want to try a Strawberry Smoothie, pick up an obvious ingredient, something sweet (that bees would like) and something that comes from a cow.  Feel for a YummyTummy Tumbler? Use your head and figure out what to grow, something totally fizzy (and sweet) and an orange-yellow fruit.  Finally, what about a Neon Pink Smoothie? Just get something creamy (and fizzy), a fierce-sounding fruit and something sweet and sour.  I’m going to be making LOTS of these drinks for the pink party, so whip up a few for your pet and enjoy!

Mystical Mouse Contest Winners
Congratulations to Kendall, Emily, Megan, Mollie and Kate! They’ve each been sent a Secret Code for an eStore exclusive Mystical Mouse! We wanted to hear about the Mystical Mouse’s first disastrous show — read the winning entries below. Minerva the Magnificent had practiced for ages to get ready for her first magic show. She had loads of tricks up her sleeve and was ready to mystify the audience. She walked out on stage and started the show. She began with a simple trick, pulling a rabbit out of a hat. She reached up… oh no! Her hat was in her dressing room. Her cheeks burned, but she continued with the show. It all went downhill from there. She messed up her card tricks, couldn’t change her wand into a bouquet of flowers, and even though her assistant disappeared on cue, she didn’t reappear until five minutes later. Minerva ended her show by tripping on her cape. The crowd still cheered for her, even though her show was a disaster. She kept practicing, and is now one of the most talented magicians in Kinzville! Without that first disastrous show, Minerva wouldn’t have tried nearly as hard to become a great magician. … Read more
