The Wheel of WOW and me without my camera

Today was WEBKINZ day! Thank god Kaedo was well enough to go. He would have been devastated. Kaedo and I headed out to the Bville Mall for some Webkinz fun and it was GREAT! We had such a blast. He was so excited, it was awesome. He had been waiting for this day since A gave him the ad for it about a month ago. It has been on the fridge and been referred to many times. So, today was the day!
We got there about 1pm and there were about 150 people there. We had to wait in line to register (35 minutes) and then we were able to participate. While standing in line, Kaedo took a look-see in the store and found a Webkinz he loved. There were only two on the shelf so he just "had to have it"! I held his place in line, gave him my bank card and off he went to pick up his new buddy. Little did I know that there was actually a pile of them but they were only putting them on the shelf 2 at a time. Bastards.

We waited for about another 15 minutes and then were able to register. He registered, got his paper and found a place to draw his picture. He decided to draw three of his Webkinz - Hom-mer, Fuz-zy and Peanuts. Once he had finished his masterpiece he took it in (coloring contest) and was given a coupon to Burger King, a ticket for the Wheel of WOW and a drink and cookie ticket. We headed off to the Wheel of WOW where he spun a "$1 off Webkinz of choice". So what does that mean? Back into the store to pick up another one. He was flying high, let me tell you!

We got home at about 3pm and it was on then that we realized in the excitement he hadn't gotten his drink or cookie. Oh Well.

Here are his Webkinz - not including two. Peanuts, Tiny, Miss Sniffy, Pipi-Hipy, Benerson, Spouky, Fuz-zy, Crolo, Sandy, Caramel, Magic, Hoppy, Beanie, King-Kong, Vines, Donner, Hom-mer, Sugar, and Mountain. There is another but he doesn't know if her ever named it. For this purpose I will call it CAT. If I counted right he has 20 in all. They all have files on Webkinz World. If you want to see what it is all about go here.

No camera, you say? No camera and no (camera) phone! What is a person to do? Buy a disposable. Who knew they still made them. Hopefully the pix are good. He really wanted some pictures of the day and I wanted them too.

Oh - and to the mothers-in-law, Craig bought all the fixings, so he will have an Easter dinner that does not consist of a corn dog and baked pretzel. In my defense, I would have thrown in the cheese for the pretzel!

So glad you were able to go to Webkinz, Kaeden. You didn't happen to pose for that photo with all your webkinz, did you? How many are there in all?

Good for you Craig, I'd way rather buy the food and shame someone else into cooking it also. Make lots of mashed potatoes, SHANNON, at least 4 lbs. Kaeden, make sure you eat lots as mom said you've lost some weight since you've been sick.

Happy Easter, glad the Easter bunny was good to you.

Love to all
