What NOT to Talk About at a ‘Kinz Meeting
Well, today’s ‘Kinz meeting was definitely…interesting. I brought up the topic of the Easter Parade. BIG mistake! Apparently three of our club members are planning on trying out. Molly, Cowabelle and Stoogles all think they’re going to be the stars of the parade (Stoogles wants to break with tradition and create an Easter King). Molly says she should be the queen because she has a great hollering voice (this is true). Cowabelle thinks her acting abilities will win her the crown. And Stoogles figures that the royalty should be able to dance well. Which he does. So the auditions should be interesting tomorrow! I’m hoping someone totally different gets to be the queen (or king). Otherwise, I think there could be problems between those three…
Millie’s list
Wow. Roberta here. Millie just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Today Molly showed up at my house with her. Molly said she was really sorry, but Millie wanted to see me for some reason. Then when I invited them in Millie got all shy and could barely speak to me. At first she just did that weird staring thing again. I offered them a drink and then Millie started piping up about all these things from the W Shop that she would like. And get this – she pulls out a list of stuff she would like from her pocket that she has written down. Um, okay, Millie. Whatever. Then she started going on about how she likes nuts but she doesn’t like raisins and she really thinks that chocolate shouldn’t have raisins in it but it’s okay if it has nuts. Molly and I are looking at each other like, ‘what the heck is she going on about?’ And then after we had some lemonade Millie said she was ready to go home. So Molly and I never did figure out why she wanted to talk to me about. I mean, she … Read more
Alex gets serious
Scientific study of rocks and plants By Alex Tiger I made a New Year’s resolution over three months ago to try and find a new species of plant or type of rock and so far I’ve found nothing. It’s time to get serious about this. I have decided that I have not been methodical enough in my studies, so I have decided to narrow in on one area at a time and search thoroughly before moving on, keeping meticulous records of where I have searched so far. I’ve started by cordoning off an area near my house. I have borrowed tools from my dad’s workshop and I am going to carry out my digs with precision and care. I have to collect samples and then clean them off and make note of their properties to compare them to existing records. If I find the characteristics are unique, then I will have discovered a new rock or plant! I am determined to do this. I just know that I will find something if I look hard enough.

Cowabelle Cowoline: Queen of the Easter Parade?
Dear Diary, You’ll never, ever believe what I found out today – there’s going to be an Easter parade. And they’re looking for the QUEEN of the parade! Someone with charm and poise and acting ability to ride on the front float and basically be the mascot of the whole thing! Why didn’t they just come and ask me directly? I’m pretty much the perfect cow for the job. There are auditions in two days and I’m so super-excited. I’m a great actress, so I’m almost guaranteed to get the part. I convinced my mom to let me get a new dress for the parade – and maybe even a new hat and some jewelry! I don’t know how I’m going to sleep tonight or tomorrow night. This is awesome! Love, Cowabelle
Crafting with Roberta: Pompom Critters
What you need: Pompoms, craft glue, felt, wiggle eyes, scissors, pipe cleaners, black or brown fabric paint, your imagination What you do: Figure out what kind of pompom animal you want to make. I personally love making little chicks! Cut off about an 1 ½ inches from your pipe cleaner. Make a V-shape from the pipe cleaner. Glue your pompom to the pipe cleaner V (these are the chick’s legs). Glue an orange triangle (either felt or construction paper) onto the pompom (this is the beak). Glue two wiggle eyes above the beak. Glue on two rounded yellow triangles for wings. Let your critter dry thoroughly!
Millie is looking forward to a special day!
Hi! It’s me, Roberta. Wow – I was over at Molly’s today and was Millie ever being weird. Molly said that she was just excited about Easter, but she kept staring at me in this strange way. We were working on homework and I would look up and see Millie peering at me around a corner, and when she saw me looking she would giggle and run away. Then later we were making chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen and Millie said that she would only eat MY cookies because I was an expert on chocolate. Huh? When I was leaving she came up and whispered something in Molly’s ear and Molly was just like, “What? What are you talking about? She doesn’t have any basket. I don’t know what you mean.” Molly just looked at me and rolled her eyes.
Postcard from Laurabeard
Dear Nibbles, Do you remember that mysterious island I wrote to you about? Well, today we were sailing through a thick fog, when suddenly the fog parted and for a brief moment we could see land in the distance. Dogbeard grabbed his telescope to take a look but then he just shook his head like he could believe what he had seen. I took the telescope from him and looked, and I could swear that I saw these strange trees with what looked like kind of like coconuts but almost more like brown eggs growing on them. But how could that be? What kind of eggs would grow on trees? Then I saw something grab one of the eggs off of a tree. All I could see was a pair of long ears. Then the wind blew up and the fog closed in, blocking my view. It was the strangest place I had ever seen. I hope we can find it again. Love, Laurabeard

Roberta’s Revenge
I still cannot believe that Cowabelle managed to trick me this morning. I just knew she was going to try and pull something, but I guess I was so sleepy when she called at 5:30 that it didn’t occur to me that today was April 1. I felt like such an idiot, standing outside the school like that at 5am. But I know exactly how to get back at her. Cowabelle has been eying this one sweater in the KinzStyle Outlet but she keeps moaning about how it’s too expensive and she can’t afford it. Well, I am going to call her after school and tell her that PJ is having a 50% off sale. Cowabelle will probably rush right out, thinking the sweater she wants has come down in price and then she will be in for a shock!
Salley Strikes Back
Okay, now Stoogles is going to learn what it is to get a mouthful of something gross when he’s not expecting it! I was so mad when he gave me that sour gum this morning, but I have a deliciously wicked plan to get back at him. Stoogles loves my salsa. With a bowl full of tortilla chips, it’s one of his favorite snacks. What he doesn’t know is that I made an extra-special batch of salsa today, especially for him. That’s because I put in six times the amount of hot peppers that it calls for. Oh, I cannot wait to see his face when he takes a bite of this!
Sparky’s prank
Ha ha ha! It’s Sparky and I am having an AWESOME April Fool’s Day! How is it that whoopee cushions just NEVER get old? We were all hanging out at Roberta’s and no matter how many times I sneaked my whoopee cushion onto someone’s chair today I found it absolutely hilarious! And I know everyone else did too! Oh, they were all pretending to get sick of it after the seventh time I pulled it off (and THREE of those times were all on Salley! What can I say? She kept getting up to get a drink – she was an easy target!) but I know they’re just jealous because whoopee cushions are the ultimate April Fool’s prank and they wish they had thought of it. I know Cowabelle said that Polly was really embarrassed when I caught her, but come on – everyone knows that it’s all in good fun, right? Oh, gotta run. Alex is getting up for some chips! The Sparkster strikes again, folks!
