wii + ds

mod*tot previewed the new nintendo wii hockey game in san francisco.
the game hasn't become publicly available yet. it features the mii cartoony characters in the skill builder part, but in the actual hockey game they have excellent graphics that make it look like real television + put real faces on the hockey players. 4 people can play on one team or against other people with wii machines in their homes. they can negotiate salaries + change teams. the hockey was too complicated for us, but introduced her to wii.

now she is crazy for wii. she begs to go to best buy to play the wii games.
she likes the sports resort games. now i'm interested in wii too for fitness.
jenny mccarthy has a new wii fit game. your face shows up on your avatar. + daisy fuentes has a new pilates game i want to try.

mod*tot is also crazy about the nintendo dsi + wants the G-force game.
they were on sale at target this weekend, so we had to go take a look.

circus in town



mod*tot + i are on a circus theme this summer. we LOVE playing with
our new shrinky dinks circus party pack illustrated by my webpal s.britt,
one of my favorite artists in the entire universe. check out his website :)

then our friend introduced us to the 1960s movie jumbo starring doris day.
doris plays the daughter of the circus owner + she performs many of the circus jobs + sings + dances + saves the failing circus + gets the guy :)

barnum + bailey ringling brothers circus is in our town now, so mod*tot + i checked it out last week as vip guests in oakland. it goes to san jose next.
if you want to go to the circus, check this schedule to see when the circus is near your town + get 4 tickets for $44 by entering "mom" in the code box.
