Webkins


I am amazed at my kids newest thing -they all love these cute, lovable things they call webkins. It has been amazing to see how much they play with these things. For those of you who have never seen these they are pretty cute but the cool thing about them is that there not just a stuffed animal, but with them comes this number so that you can register them online. You get to name them, and you must take care of your webkin- you must feed them, put them to sleep, take them to the doctor and so on. Once you have registered them you can play games that earn you "money " so you can buy your cute little thing a car or toys or furniture for their own webkin home. So we have added to our family - Flash, Superman, Scruffles, Rosie, Boxer and Rocky. My kids love them so much that they argue over who gets the computer so now Sean and I have been kicked off our own computer. As much as we complain we love that they are learning new things. Is it a stretch to think that it is teaching them a little responsibility??????????? Yea that's probably a stretch!

I miss you, Melissa! Kayci was just asking me about you! Let's keep in touch, my sweet friend. I am praying over you this morning - that the Lord is richly blessing your ministries.
