Mickey on Skates

The weather is getting cold. You're pulling out your sweaters.

So it wouldn't be so weird to visit the ice rink now, would it?

The great folks at Disney on Ice have offered up a family 4-pack of tickets for their opening night show here in Fairfax, VA.

I'll be catching the excitement Friday night with my crazy boys. I can just see it now. They'll be "practicing" their ice skating all over the house for weeks after this and begging me to take them to the real rink. (Good thing I'd still be able to skate circles around the bear cubs.)

Leave a comment below by 3:00 p.m. today telling me your best life/parent hack and I'll do a drawing for the tickets (please make sure you sign in so I can email you if you are the winner).

If you don't win but are still interested in checking out Disney on Ice, here's a good discount code:

• Use the coupon code MOM for four tickets for $44 Monday-Friday, and $4 off tickets for all weekend performances.
• The tickets can be purchased from http://www.ticketmaster.com <http://www.ticketmaster.com> and by entering the MOM code in the “MC promotion” box when purchasing tickets.
• Minimum purchase of 4 tickets required; additional tickets above 4 can be purchased at $11 each during the week and $4 off on weekends.
• Offer not valid on Rinkside or VIP seating.
• Cannot be combined with other offers. Service Charges, facility & handling fees will apply.

Can't Wait to Try This Out

I have to say I was an Atari fan way back in the early 80's when Ms. Pac Man was the cool hot game. Then they got advanced and I was in over my head (you know soon after the Atari 2600), and I tuned out of the gaming scene.

Of course my kids are crazy for video games...oh and my husband can get pretty tied up in them too, but me? Never really did.

Until I got a Nintendo DS (okay and a Wii). Next thing you know, I'm actually playing video games again.

Well there's a new game coming out today and it sounds like one I might like.

It's a shoot 'em up game, but it's rated E for everyone and it includes fireworks. I LOVE FIREWORKS.

I'm hoping to get a chance to try it out.

I'll let you know what I think as soon as I do. And you? Let me know when you do.
