Stoogles Summer – Not So Bad
Wow! Turns out having a broken flipper isn’t that bad after all! After a couple of weeks stuck at home with my grandpa, my family surprised me with the coolest thing ever – they rigged up this wagon so I can travel around with them! It’s been great. We went to the Amusement Park yesterday and I even got to ride on some of the rides! My dad lifted me from the wagon into the roller coaster cart! It was awesome! You know the weirdest thing though? When my family showed up with the wagon, the first thing my grandpa said was “Well, thank goodness for that! Nothing personal, Stoogles, but I was getting kind of bored, being cooped up here with you all the time. I can’t wait to get to that Amusement Park and try the Super Deluxe Rollercoaster!” Seriously???

Science Camp Experiment: Slime
Dear Sparky How is your summer going? I hope that working in the Curio Shop hasn’t been too tough. I know you weren’t really looking forward to it. Science camp has been absolutely AMAZING!!! Alex and I are having so much fun and we have made some new friends too! We have been doing so many cool experiments here. Just yesterday we made this really weird ‘slime’ stuff. It’s really easy so I thought I’d share it with you and maybe that would give you something fun to do when you’re not working. What you need: – 1/4 cup water – 1/4 cup white glue – 1/4 cup liquid starch (you can find it with the laundry detergents in the supermarket) – Food coloring – an adult assistant, like your Uncle Arte What you do: Mix the water and glue in a large bowl and add food coloring until you get it just the shade you like. Slowly stir in the liquid starch until you get a gooey slime. You can store it in a sealed plastic bag when you’re not playing with it (but it is awesome to play with!) I hope you … Read more

Sparky’s Job
Hey, it’s me, Sparky! I just got back from another day helping out my Uncle in the Curio Shop. You know, at the beginning of the summer, I was really down on the idea of working in Uncle Sparky’s shop two days a week. I mean, summer’s all about having fun, right? But guess what? Two days a week isn’t that hard at all! I still had tons of time to hang out with my friends (there were even a few days when I was bored, with nothing to do.) I’ve been visiting a lot with Stoogles because he broke his flipper, and swimming in Nibbles’ new pool with Roberta and Molly. I’ve actually had a really great summer so far. But you know the very best part? I made a LOAD of KinzCash! Working two days a week really adds up. I’m just not sure what I should do with it all. There are some really cool things in the Curio Shop I’ve had my eye on. I could also really use a new skateboard, but Roberta says I should save the money. What do you think?

Nibbles’ Realization
Have you ever felt like a total fool? Because if you have, then you know exactly how I am feeling right now. I am so embarrassed I almost can’t even say what happened to me today. I was over at the Arcade to meet Roberta and we were getting a drink from the Arcade cafeteria when I saw Purr-cilla, Penelope and Janice sitting at a table. I was walking over to see them when I noticed that my shoe was untied and I bent down to tie it right next to a big plant near their table. I guess they didn’t see me because I overheard their conversation and I still can’t believe what I heard. Janice was asking if they were going to go swimming later and Purr-cilla said “Yeah, I guess it’s hot enough to put up with Nibbles for an hour or two.” I couldn’t believe it. Penelope actually jumped in and said that she liked hanging out with me, and Janice said yeah, she felt kind of bad about pretending not to be home when I came over the other day. But Purr-cilla told them to get over it – that I was always talking about … Read more
