Webkinz & Summer Break (9 Days & Counting...)
Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at 04:37PM
Happy Tuesday!
I spent the day off yesterday with 2 of my 3 kids, on a doctor's appointment and some fun -- we found WEBKINZ at the Mall of Georgia! Apparently, this is QUITE an accomplishment, with these Webkinz things -- they are little stuffed animals with Internet codes to a game and playsite online (http://www.webkinz.com), where the kids can play fun educational games & tests and earn 'money' to take care of their online pets.
It's pretty cool, and my younger two (ages 6 & 9) are crazy for them. They are sold at Hallmark stores, and I had no idea it was such a Big Deal for the elementary school set -- our Hallmark in Atlanta has been completely sold out for weeks. We just happened to find a fresh shipment at the Big Mall while we were out & about. I'm now G'Ma, I guess, to 4 new Webkinz creatures!
So I am way behind today. I haven't even collected & sorted the laundry yet (SO sexy!).
I'm staring down Summer Vacation ahead: only 9 school days left...
QUESTION: How do you accomplish anything during Summer Vacation with the kids home from school? What do you do with your kids all summer?!?!
(Which is strange, because somehow I made it through the first five years with each child at home before they started school, and now it seems completely overwhelming!)
Some of you know, I have been working on this dilemma for three years now, with
CAMP MOMMY -- maybe the third time around will be the charm?
Have a great week,
Sherri
