O.K.-- Big brother Sammy bunny here.  These are the sensor thingies that Mom and Dad got.  They use these to tell what temperature it is, the humidity, wind speed, how much rain we get, and some other cool things!  (When it rains, it catches it all in a little cup, and when the cup gets full it empties itself!  Then, it sends a message to our computer telling us how much rain we got and how quickly!!  :-)
