Word Trip

Our online Word Trip is starting with the word "computer." In the comment section, add a word that's the first thing the previous word makes you think of. Then the next person will do the same. And so on, and so on...

Where will our Word Trip take us?

Make Your Own Pet Wave

Here's all the information you need to make your own pet wave! (With a grown-up's help.)

You're going to need a clear plastic bottle with a cap, baby oil, water and some food coloring. (Hint: the smaller the bottle, the less baby oil you'll need.)

First, fill the bottle half-way with water and add a couple of drops of food coloring. Mine's blue, like the ocean, so that I can pretend to be a shark. ScribbleJayne made her pet wave yellow, no special reason, she just likes yellow. Next, fill the top half of the bottle with baby oil. Twist or glue the cap on the bottle really tight (so your pet doesn't get away) and... you've got a new pet! Just tip the bottle back and forth to get your wave going. Pretty cool, huh?

What color will you make your pet wave? Do you have any other pets?

Your pals,

Absolutely Who?

Last week, while Robbie, Mindy and Kenny were off in Orlando kicking off the Traveling Roadshow by interviewing the Children's Miracle Network champions, Mindy's show was hosted by Trout Fishing in America and by The Jimmies.

We really enjoyed both shows! Thanks so much to Mindy for arranging the guest hosts and to Keith, Ezra, Ashley and Dan for being willing to take on the challenge!

Milkshake at XMKiDS

I should have posted this one last Thursday when Milkshake took over the "Absolutely Mindy" show....

"We Got A Band"

Did I Miss Something?

What's with the Christmas music during Pumpkin Jam? Very weird. And I'm not ready for it yet. One holiday at a time, please!

Absolutely Milkshake

We missed half the show because we accidentally left Robbie at home in our haste to get to the Halloween party, but what we've heard so far as been so much fun!! We loved hearing the Band members of Milkshake joke around and play their songs live on the air!

Their new DVD Screenplay is so much fun; we especially enjoy the scenes from the XMKiDS Rumpus Room, for obvious reasons.

Chloe has been trying to call in, but hasn't gotten through yet. At 5:40, we were being directly transferred to voice mail. Disappointing to us all to not be able to get though :(

BTW< have you noticed their addition error in the School song? Mindy, can you "Do the Math" and figure it out?

Absolutely Milkshake News

From the Milkshake newsletter:

Milkshake takes over the "Absolutely Mindy" show Thursday, October 30th!
ixtapa kids

Mindy Thomas, the Program Director over at XM KIDS, called us up and asked if we would host her show this Thursday from 3 PM - 6 PM. Well, we love being on the radio and of course agreed. So for three hours this week we're taking over XM KIDS with the "Absolutely Milkshake!" show. We'll be telling stories and spinning favorite tunes...maybe even play some songs live for the listeners, just like Hank Williams used to do on Mother's Flower Hour.

If you have any favorite songs you want us to play while we dj LIVE on XM, send along a request and we'll ask the good XM librarian to pull it for our show. And if you happen to be by a phone or computer while listening, call 866.328.2345 or email and chat with us. Share a joke or a good ghost story. Ask us a question. Sing us a song. Tell us what your favorite milkshake is. And we'll give you copy of our latest release, the SCREEN PLAY DVD just for tuning in and taking the time.
