Roberta Moves
Cowabelle here – I just got home and boy am I tired! We had Roberta’s moving party today and it was a ton of fun. We basically helped Roberta move her stuff all morning (whew!) and then Salley and I left all sneaky-like. We snuck over to my house and got some chips, fruit punch and a carrot cake. We surprised Roberta and her parents – and they were so pleased that they ordered pizza! We spread out a sheet on the floor and ate, picnic-style! What a great way to end a busy day!
The Move is DONE!
Hey everyone! Roberta here with some pretty exciting news – I’m writing to you from MY NEW HOUSE! With a TON of help from some movers and friends, we moved all our stuff this morning and now we’re just starting to unpack. I have to say, I absolutely ADORE my new house. It’s bigger and has lots of room for all of our stuff. I didn’t realize it, but we were getting a little cramped in our old place. I’m not even sure how we would’ve fit a baby in there! And I’m actually CLOSER to Cowabelle’s house now – how awesome is that? The only thing I don’t love about my new house is the decorating style that the previous owners had. My dad said that they had very ‘eclectic taste’, whatever that means (I think it means that nothing matches). Anyway, here are a few pictures of our new house that my parents took before we moved in. Please pardon the decorating. Thank goodness Hailey and Elwin are going to redecorate!
Friends Again
Dear Diary, Well, today was a MUCH better day. The ‘Kinz are a club again! We were all standing around at recess, being mad at each other, when Cowabelle came over to Roberta and asked about whether she was all packed for her move. Roberta said, “I’m surprised you’re speaking to me. I thought you’d be too busy planning for the party.” And Cowabelle said, “Look, I’ve been thinking…it’s not right if only four of us go. We’re the ‘Kinz, right?” Roberta looked SO happy to hear that. She gave Cowabelle a big hug. Stoogles came over to see what was going on, and we filled him in. Guess what HE said? “I was thinking the same thing. We’re a club. She invites us all or none of us go. I don’t even like Purr-Cilla very much anyway!” And when we talked to Molly and Sparky, they agreed that we should stick together. So now NONE of us are going to Purr-Cilla’s party. We’re going to have a picnic in the park instead. Sounds like a lot more fun – especially because we’ll all be together. Love, Salley
Plumpy’s wedding prep – flowers and makeup!
Wiggles Pig here. Oh readers, I think Plumpy is starting to get a bit nervous. She keeps calling me to remind me of how much there still is to do. But I’m not worried. We’ve got everything under control. But I did think she could use a break so I arranged for us to meet with Persephone today to help Plumpy choose her make up for the wedding. What could be more relaxing than lying back in a lounger and letting someone else apply make-up to your face, right? At least, that’s what I thought. But it hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. Everything that Persephone does, Plumpy says “Too much! Too much!” I totally get it. I finally pulled Persephone aside and explained that Plumpy just wants a really natural, understated look for her wedding. Persephone is pretty flashy so it took a bit of coaxing, but at the end of the afternoon, Plumpy looked perfect: soft blue eyeshadow to complement her skin tones and shimmering pink lipstick that picked up the color in the sash from her dress exquisitely. Of course, it hadn’t exactly been the relaxing experience I’d hoped for but I knew that our next stop … Read more
Purr-Cilla’s Awesome Party
Dear Diary, I cannot WAIT for my party! You’ll never believe it, but Sparky is actually coming! Of course, he’s bringing his pesky friends with him, but only the three I invited. The other four (Nibbles, Alex, Roberta and that awful Salley Cat) are SO mad. I saw them at recess and they weren’t even speaking to each other! I may have successfully divided the ‘Kinz! HA! I haven’t really heard if many of the other kids are coming. I know Janice and Penelope will be there, and I’m sure that most of the kids I gave invitations to will show up. I mean, please – it’s my party, why would anyone miss it? I’ve got to go and pick out some earrings – mom said she’ll take me to the jewelry store and we can get whatever pair I want! I LOVE birthdays! – Purr-Cilla
A Big Fight
Dear Diary, You are NEVER going to believe what happened in our ‘Kinz meeting today. We had a GIGANTIC fight. In fact, I’m not sure I’ll ever forgive Cowabelle, Molly, Stoogles or Sparky. Want to know why? Because THEY are going to Purr-Cilla’s birthday party. They got invitations today at recess and Roberta, Nibbles, Alex and I? NOTHING! Purr-Cilla just sashayed right on past us with a smug look on her face. Turns out, she gave invitations to practically EVERYONE at school –but not us. She also didn’t give one to Booger, but he said he’d never go to her party anyway. I asked Cowabelle, Molly, Stoogles and Sparky why they’d go to the party of someone so awful and you know what they said? “Because she invited us!” Then Cowabelle said, “It’s not our fault we’re popular. And it’s not our fault Purr-Cilla doesn’t like you.” And I said, “But it IS your choice to go without the rest of us and pretend that you DO like Purr-Cilla!” And Stoogles said, “Maybe you’re just jealous.” And that’s when I stormed off. Me? Jealous? Can you even believe that?! I was SO mad at Stoogles. I was so mad … Read more
An invitation from Purr-Cilla?
Salley Cat here. How is it that even when Purr-cilla thinks she is doing something nice she still manages to be offensive? Today she shows up at school with a stack of invitations to her birthday party and proceeds to hand them out to SOME people. We’re all putting our stuff away in our lockers when she comes marching down the hall. First she goes up to Stoogles and hands him this envelope. He just looked kind of confused. Then she gave envelopes to Cowabelle, Molly and Sparky. When she walked away they all opened the envelopes and it was party invitations! Okay, first of all, since when does Purr-cilla hang out with Stoogles? Secondly, who hands out invitations in front of everyone so that everyone who is NOT invited feels left out? I don’t think they should go and I told them so, but not everybody sees Purr-cilla for who she really is apparently.
