Stoogles’ Check-Up
Stoogles here, feeling kind of sorry for myself. I don’t know if you heard the bad news, but I fell off my trampoline and broke my flipper! Can you believe that? I mean, if I broke my flipper during the school year, well, that wouldn’t be the end of the world, right? But on summer vacation? What a drag! Anyway, I just got back from a check-up with Dr. Quack and he said that my break is healing nicely, but that I have to continue to take it easy. Do you know what ‘taking it easy’ means? It means more hanging out with my grandpa while the rest of my family has lots of awesome summer fun. So long, amusement park. Hello, cold noodles and naps. At least my friends have been visiting me. Molly and Nibbles came over the other day with cupcakes for me and Sparky lent me his new video game. I guess that kind of makes up for the fact that I am stuck here with nothing to do. Hmmm… maybe I should call Roberta and play up the pain a bit. After all she hasn’t brought me anything yet and she is an awesome baker. … Read more
Nibbles Misses Plumpy
Hey everyone, Nibbles here. What a tough summer I’ve had so far! It just hasn’t been fun at all. I think the biggest problem is the fact that my sister, Plumpy, is on her honeymoon. She’s traveling all over Webkinz World with Charles, her husband. I wish I was with them! I bet they’re having the best time, sightseeing and eating in good restaurants. In fact, I know they are. Plumpy phones me or emails me every single day. I asked her if I could buy a plane ticket and come and meet her somewhere, but she said no. I don’t know why! I’m a fun sister! Anyway, I’ve spent my days watching TV and emailing my friends. I stopped by Roberta’s the other day, but she wasn’t home. Molly is so busy babysitting Millie and Holly, Stoogles has a zillion Googles events to go to and Sparky is ALWAYS at the Curio Shop or taking swimming lessons. I think everyone has forgotten about me. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I wish school was going to start again tomorrow. Love, Nibbles
PJ’s Summer Fashion Show
PJ Collie here with a fabulous summertime fashion show. Check out these AWESOME styles and tell us who you think is wearing the BEST outfit! First up, Hailey is wearing a fabulous black dress with pops of neon. Her sunglasses and shoes are bright pink, which works with this vibrant outfit perfectly! Next, we have Joe. Joe looks super cool in neon green shorts (neon is SO in this season, by the way). His black shirt and shades help to keep the outfit from being TOO bright, and his sandals are a great final touch. Looking good, Joe! A little summer rain won’t dampen the spirits of Elora! She’s looking seasonally sensational in this long floral dress! The ruffled sandals are perfect for a garden party, and the hat is a fun accessory! And for a casual summertime look, we’ve got Hank. Hank is decked out in a camouflage hat and shirt. His shorts are a dusty brown, and his runners say “I’m ready for a day in the sun!” If summertime has you thinking pink, you’ll LOVE Steph’s look! This lovely magenta and orange one piece is super stylish – and … Read more

Roberta’s Craft: Flower Prints
You guys will NEVER believe the fun I had at craft camp today! I had the best time making a painting out of flowers. Sounds interesting, right? Here’s how to do it yourself! What you need: Flowers with different colored petals – we used purple, yellow, red and pink; flat rock, two pieces of white paper What you do: Put down one piece of the white paper. You’re going to want to do this craft outside (on concrete is the best place). Sprinkle your petals all over the paper. Put the other piece of paper on top. Start banging your rock around on your paper. This should release the colors in the flower petals. Lift up the paper to see how the colors look. When you’re happy with the result, discard the petals and proudly display your floral print! One special note: be careful when you’re banging your rock – don’t let your fingers get in the way!
Postcard from Elwin
Dear Hailey, Wow! I am pumped! We finished the album and I just got to listen to it all the way through for the first time! Oh, Hailey! I can’t wait for you to hear it! This really is the coolest thing that has ever happened to me! I think you’re going to be impressed. Well, I know you’re already impressed. Listen – I don’t want to go all goopy on you or anything, but I thought this would be a good time to let you know how much I appreciate all the support and encouragement you’ve offered me my whole life. I am so lucky to have a sister like you, and being away from you has really shown me just how much I always lean on you. Okay – goopy moment over! Sorry! I hope I can get back to Kinzville soon so I can play you the album. I just know you’re going to love it! Gotta run! We’re doing some promotional photos for the tour and my ‘handlers’ are waiting for me! (Ha ha – can you picture me with handlers?) El
