Webkinz

We have entered the world of Webkinz.  It's a millennium leap from being Webkinz-free.  First of all, we couldn't go to church today until the Webkinz were in their beds and asleep.  We had to ply Webkinz, I mean Anna and Howie from their terminals (we have two now at home, BIG mistake!) to get in the car and there were tears, whining, and shouts of protest.  I'm not saying who was doing what.  

Now, Anna's all over the Webkinz thing.  She has a Yorkie named Rain (spelled "rian," because she entered it herself), and an Alley Cat named Rainbow.  She's got them dressed up in sunglasses, bows and footwear, and their rooms look like the My Pretty Pony illustrators met up with the Color By Design guy to create some kind of elementary schoolgirl madness.  She keeps winning those games and earning points to buy more stuff.  And, this is just the first 24 hours!

Howie on the other hand is working really hard with his dog, a Samoyed named Doby.  He's not getting very far, but his room hilarious.  As frilly and pink as Anna's rooms are, Doby's room is a frat boy's dream replete with sports themed furniture and an air hockey table.  The overall layout is pure bachelor-esque with a lamp at the end of the bed next the air hockey table.  No need for Doby to travel far.  Howie is really good at 'puter air hockey, too.  He has excellent eye-hand coordination, and even today killed his first fly with a fly swatter.

So, we're in the land of Webkinz.  And, after helping Howie out a bit today with a game and purchasing the air hockey table, I WANT A WEBKINZ, TOO!
