It's a Webkinz World


Does anyone own these? They are stuffed animals that have a tag with an access code where you can create a virtual world for them on the internet (including feeding, caring, and decorating their virtual homes). Pete bought one in November, and now, between all the kids, I think we have almost 20! They multiply like rabbits. Between Christmas and the birthday marathon, our kids have more disposable income than usual. This is their #1 purchase item. The good points are the big guys are being very generous in giving the little guys money to purchase some too. The big guys are also doing extra chores for cash; this home has never been so clean! The bad points are I need to locate Tommy's four webkinz before bed every night, (which is no easy task), the kids now compete with me to use the computer, and I would prefer they save a bit more money. The little guys were having a webkinz tea party/ rumble so I snapped the picture.

oh yeah...we have the same amount. Big kinz, L'il Kinz...I drew the line on the trading cards. i even have one!! I think they're great, except a lot of the games are EXACTLY the same as the games they have at bars and casinos!! I like the cash cow game & to go mining for gems.
Whoever invented the webkinz is ROLLING in money. For awhile around here, the stores would put signs on the windows that said, "sorry. no webkinz today." It has settled down a bit. Devin knows a girl that has 86!!!
