A Job for Sparky
Are you kidding me??? Can this summer get any worse? First of all my teacher totally doesn’t get that you don’t assign projects in June. Now, I just found out from my Uncle Arte that he needs me to work in the Curio Shop this summer! He wants me to help out TWO days a week! What??? My mom says I should be grateful that my uncle is giving me the chance to earn all this extra money but I don’t want money! I want to chill and hang with my friends and do nothing at all! I can’t believe that I have to work two whole days a week all summer! That is like – uh, almost half my time I think. Right? (I don’t know – math is not really my strong suit!) Well, I guess I have to man up. My uncle really does need extra help in the summer when people are off school and taking vacations from work, and I suppose I should be thankful for the chance to make some extra KinzCash. Molly said that I was being an ingrate to complain about it and that it … Read more

Ella McWoof’s Wedding Recap
Whew! I just arrived home and I’m exhausted! Weddings sure are a lot of fun – but they’re tiring! The band played for about two hours, and then the deejay started spinning some tunes. Everyone got up to dance when ‘Tiger, Tiger’ came on! Plumpy and Charles each made wonderful speeches (Plumpy even thanked me for reporting on the wedding!), and we enjoyed some delicious cake. The dessert buffet was absolutely over-the-top and we all got to take home little containers of cookies, brownies, and mini-pies! I have enough treats to last me until next year! At the end of the night, Plumpy and Charles rode off in a white limousine. It was SO romantic! They’re leaving for their honeymoon in a couple of days, and apparently they’re going on a world-wide tour of Webkinz World! How amazing would that be? Well, I’m exhausted and my feet are SO sore (I danced a lot), so goodnight all! I hope you enjoyed the wedding!
Plumpy’s Big Day
Can you believe it? My wedding is FINALLY here! It’s so exciting! All my relatives and friends are here, and I’m just hoping I haven’t forgotten anything. There’s so much to do when you plan a wedding…food, dancing, decorating…and don’t get me wrong, I’m sure Fluffington did a great job making his yard beautiful, and Chef Gazpacho and Chef Sophia made wonderful food…and I’m sure the music will be super. But…I just hope everyone has a good time, you know? I can’t wait to get into my dress and walk down that aisle. I haven’t seen Charles today (it’s supposedly bad luck to see your groom before the wedding), but I’m sure he’s just as nervous as I am. Only a few more hours now…and then…it’s my big day!
Father’s Day gift ideas with Roberta
Hey everyone! Father’s Day is tomorrow, and I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty excited. My dad is amazing. He and I love to hang out (when he’s not traveling on business). I’m even named after him! (He’s Robert, I’m Roberta). So I wanted to come up with a few extra-special things to make my dad. Here’s what I’m going to give him tomorrow: Picture Frame This was pretty easy to make. I just got some wooden sticks, craft glue, paint, and a picture of me (the other side is empty for when my new brother or sister arrives – their picture can go in there). First, I glued four sticks together to make one square frame. Then I did the same for the other frame. I painted the frames. I used construction paper on the back to attach the two frames together (I just glued the construction paper rectangle to each square). Then, when everything was dry, I put in the picture of me. Aren’t I cute? Dad Coupons I made my dad a few coupons to use – but I decided to cut them into fun shapes, instead of just making a book. I … Read more
Plumpy’s Panic!
Hey everyone, Plumpy here. I’m SO nervous about tomorrow! It’s my wedding, and I keep thinking I must have forgotten something. I mean, I’ve got the food, the location, the deejay, my dress…jewelry…but…oh, it’s probably just nerves! What do you do, friends, when you get SUPER nervous about something? The advice hippo needs some advice from you!
What are the ‘Kinz doing for Father’s Day?
By Ella McWoof Ella McWoof here with a report on what local kids have planned for their dads on Father’s Day on June 17. EM: Roberta Rabbit, would you care to share with us what you plan to do for your dad on Father’s Day? Roberta: Sure, Ella. I just love crafting and my mom and dad made me a really cool craft room in our new house. So for Father’s Day I decided to make my dad a paperweight in my new kiln that we got from the Creative Studio theme in the W Shop. EM: That’s really neat that you’re making your own gift, Roberta! Salley, what do you have planned for the big day? Salley: Well, the day before Father’s Day I am taking the train to West Kinzville so that I can spend the weekend with my dad! We are going to go and see a baseball game together that day. I can’t wait! EM: Cool! Molly, any big plans? Molly: My mom said that we should all take my dad for a picnic, so Millie and I are making everything ourselves and we’re going to walk over to … Read more

PJ Collie Sings!
Hey everyone! PJ Collie here with some great news. I auditioned today for “Kinzville Sings!” and it went GREAT! I was a little nervous going up there, because last time I sang in front of an audience, it was at my family reunion and I was ten. I ALWAYS sing in front of my mirror and in the shower, though. So I have lots of practice! Anyway, I decided to just go for it. Why not? I’ve secretly always wanted to be a famous pop star! As soon as I started singing, I knew the judges liked me. They were smiling and kind of bopping along to my song. When I finished, they all applauded for what felt like a long time. They said I was fantastic, and that they’d be foolish not to let me continue in the competition. So I’m in! I don’t know if this is going to be a life-changing experience or just something fun to do – but whatever it is, I’m really excited!
Trip to the Big City: Who can’t go?
Well, this is just rotten. It’s Cowabelle here and I just found out that Roberta is not coming on the school trip! Can you believe it? And she’s not even upset about it! Her mom won tickets and a gift certificate to some big Baby Show that’s on that week and Roberta said she wants to go with her mom instead! Can you believe that? I think even her mother was shocked – she kept asking Roberta if she was sure, but Roberta is getting so excited about the new baby and she said could go to the Big City anytime but her mom’s not going to have a baby every day. Whatever. So I decided that since Roberta wasn’t going to come I should room with Molly instead. So I called her to tell her that and she was kind of weird about it. So I asked if she didn’t want to room with me and she said it wasn’t that. She said that both Salley and Polly had already asked if she could share a room with them and she didn’t know who to choose. I said I had the perfect solution – Salley and Polly could share … Read more
Diva Dressing Room
Hailey here with a pretty exciting dressing room makeover. Elwin and I had the challenge of taking a completely empty dressing room at the Henrietta Hippo Theater and transforming it into a room fit for a diva. In fact, it’s meant for none other than Dacey Bryn herself! Since she’s in town helping to judge “Kinzville Sings!” she needed a place to call her own. So – check it out! We designed one half to be a seating area, so if friends are visiting they’ve got a place to chill out. We also added screens so Dacey could get changed. The makeup table and lights are just perfect for a diva, and the stand of purses is Dacey’s own. When she saw the room, she said it was wonderful – hooray!
