Webkinz Birthday Party Ideas!
Posted in Peel Family Journal
Party Games with Stuffed Animals
*Musical Dog Bones: Cut out large dog bones from white poster board. Sit in a circle and play "doggie" music. Pass around the dog bones (one less in amount than there are people). Once the music stops, whoever doesn't have a bone has to go to the doghouse. You can also call the game "hot dog" and pass a dog-stuffed animal around. Whoever is holding the dog when the music stops is out to the pound.
Sneak Attack
* Have your birthday child sit in a chair in the middle of the room and place a blind fold over their eyes.
* Place an object under the chair. It can be a stuffed animal, a toy, a small bag of candy, or a wrapped gift.
* Keep everything quiet as your party guests try to sneak up (one at a time) and steal the object under the chair.
* If your birthday child tags them, the player is out and someone else must try to steal the object.
* Your birthday child can move their arms around, but don't let then use their feet.
Toy Game
* Each and every person who is invited to the party is asked to bring along a toy/stuffed animal.
* One person is chosen as the leader. He takes the toy/stuffed animal from all the participants and put them in the center of the room.
* Now, all the participants are blindfolded and asked to pick their own toy/stuffed animal from the bundle.
* The one who find his own toy/stuffed animal from the bundle, in the least time, is declared the winner.
Sack race
Canvas sacks or pillow cases are ideal for this game. All you need are the sacks, a start line, a finish line, and a whistle!
You can play this barnyard party game with all the kids together, or in pairs.
Add a little fun by getting pairs of kids to jump to one end of the course in their sacks, collect a stuffed animal ball, run back to the start to throw the toy into a box, run back to their sack, and jump back to the start line - phew! Demonstrate this one first before you start the official game.
Balloon dare: First, you buy enough balloons so everyone at the party can have one. Then, you write different dares on little pieces of paper, one for every balloon. The dares should be good for the ages group, such as kiss your stuffed animal for little kids
Race with the Animals
This additional relay race is as much fun to watch as it is to play!
Divide the children into teams. The racers will rescue animals in pairs of two. Provide each pair with a stuffed animal - lion, zebra,
giraffe, monkey etc. The first pair on each team will walk to "Madagascar"
(finish line), back to back with the animal in between their backs. Then drop their animal at the finish line and run back to their team. Then the next pair takes their turn. If the animal drops, they will pick it up and continue or start again. The first team to move all of their animals wins.
Free Magic Party Game #4. Don't get Caught. (With the Magician)
Dress up a small stuffed animal to look like a magician. As little as a large red bow around his neck or any bow tie available will work fine. A stuffed rabbit works great. The children stand, or sit in a circle and the game is played similar to the "Hot Potato" game. Play some music with a good beat and have the children pass around the Magician. Whoever is caught with the Magician when the music stops, is eliminated. The last remaining child wins a prize, such as a selection of a magic trick from a Grab Bag., an Award Certificate, Grand Prize Ribbon or best of all a magic"Bag of Trix"®.
Groundhog Day Party Game
A great game to play on Groundhog's Day. Players divide into equal groups. One group forms a circle around the other group of players. The outside group has a stuffed animal, like a groundhog, with which they try to hit the other players that are inside their circle. As soon as one is hit he must immediately join the circle and help hit the others. When all have been tagged in this way, groups change places and repeat. The two players who were last to be hit in the two games are captains to choose the teams for the next time.

Communing with my Inner Brat!
Posted in Peel Family Journal
Kerry: www.thebratfactor.com
me: oh! yea! I can go commune with my brat
me: my inner brat does not want me to know what she is up to...
Kerry: I am sitting here wasting time waiting for it to get warmer outside so we can all go work with the worms and garden me: ah right :)
11:33 AM me:fun I bet that will be great. my kiddos are outside. I am giving my foot a rest and letting my brat Tiff reward herself for not sabotaging my good little Marie from doing the responsible thing
11:34 AM I wonder if this leads to split personalities...I mean for real :l
Kerry: oh i didn't know I as supposed to have a good one too
11:35 AM hm. i wonder... people just are physcotic!
me: I made that part up. ha, I know I am.. eye roll
Kerry: so funny to have brat names
me: it is 11:41 AM I think I am going to be crazy as an old woman arguing with Tiff and Marie :) and any others I create
11:42 AM Kerry: hehe
me: So I have a hypno CD..
11:43 Kerry: ah
me: So, I like this hypno CD
 Kerry: oh good
me: it has 10 mins where you solve inner conflicts
11:44 AM then you imagine that you are walking in the woods to a healing light and it is healing you and taking you up into the sky. lots of fun to imagine. in the 10 min solving inner conflict you are suppose to find the conflict in your body and imagine it with its own brain. thus I have carried on conversations with Tiff
11:47 AM I have loads of grand adventures in my mind at night to. that hypno Cd.. and I don't fall asleep.. I just listen and imagine.. until it is done.. then I fall asleep.. could seem rather counter productive.. because I listen to 30 min of resolve inner conflict and 30 mins of healing light.. so an hour later and I am still not asleep.. but I am relaxed.. and I go to sleep when I can not listen to it anymore.. at least sometimes I do.. other times I restart it..
Kerry: hehe, that is funny, the restarting part)
11:48 AM me: ha! see I am totally sane :D

Could have guessed!
Posted in Peel Family Journal
Curious George discovered that our printer is a scanner. He kept pushing the scan button and watching the lights move across the screen. I then showed him that if it was loaded with paper and he put his hand on the screen it would print a scan of his hand. Curious George was in love, as soon as the printer ran out of paper, can you guess what he did.....?
He started running around the house finding random objects to drop in the paper slot and see what the printer would do.
I love experiential learning  !

now I know why....

I had a great idea...
a Sandwich bar drawer in the fridge stocked with lots of fun sandwich makings so the kids could make their own sandwiches when they wanted to how they wanted to for lunch.
They ate all the pickles,
more then a pack of bologna,
dried out the bread though they only maybe ate two slices in total,
cut up all the tomatoes..
and left a mess everywhere
I thought it was a good idea too 
Maybe after it is not so new they will get tired of eating bologna plain, and the idea will work better

This just warms my heart!
Posted in Peel Family Journal
Tumbalinas newest blog entry is so cute.
"I am adopted, my name is Tumbelina. I am thinking of getting a snake, but mom wont let me. I'm 6 and a half, I'm in first grade. That's all."
For homeschool we were learning how to spell the word Love just before she started her blog. She was so cute about wanting to write about her family that she loved. At first I was not sure that she was even writing in her blog so I asked her what she was writing about and she chimed in "my family" in the sweetest way.
Her first entry said this " My favorite Mama is Mama. My favorite sister is Hugs and Angel. And my favorite Mama is Mama, *giggle* *giggle* *giggle*, that's so funny. ( "Again" Angel says. "Yes that's because I love her so much" Says Tumbelina) And my favorite brother is Curious George, the cute little face ."
This really means something. Considering the fact that she lived in nine homes before she lived permanently with us (when she was about three years old).
One of the best things that has come of this blogging is to give Tumbelina an outlet to just be herself. She is so eager to please and fit in that she runs in circles around Angel trying to be just like her. Many times she wants what Angelic wants, her favorite color is what Angelic's favorite color, and when ever Angelic is complemented she tries to do exactly what Angelic did so that she can get a complement also. But when we started blogging, she answered truthfully about her own likes and dislikes. It is a nice way for her to express her uniqueness without worrying about fitting in so much.
