My family and I went to the Harlem Globetrotters Game when they were here in Texas. The game was scheduled to begin at 7:00pm, but we got there about 6:45 and the pregame had already started. On the floor was “Globbie” the team mascot was on the floor with a group of kids. They then played musical chairs, but with Globbie running off and hiding chairs. It was so much fun! Then after that they did a dance contest. I wish we would have been there sooner because the pre-game show was just as entertaining as the game itself. When the game started they introduced the players and teams along with the announcers and referees. The referees are just as much a part of the show as the basketball players. The main player “Special K” took one of the security wands that they use in an airport to check the referee for any weapons “for our safety”. The wand would be and then started making other noises depending on what area the wand was at. It was so funny my 11 year old had tears!
When the game started the first set of rules that was chosen was “4 point Shot”. If you see the green circles in the photos, that is where the 4 point area was. It was amazing because it is almost 1/2 court where they were shooting from. The game itself was lots of fun because you just never knew what the HG Trotters would do to keep the opposing team from scoring. We saw everything from them pulling a uniform off one player (down to boxers) to climbing on top of the basketball net and kicking the ball as the other team shot! Of course it wouldn’t be a HG Trotters game without them including the audience. They regularly sat down next to people who had court side seats, took a lady’s purse, shared popcorn, and hid by the people. It was great!
After the game they did stay and sign autographs and take pictures on the court. It was great! You really don’t realize how tall they are until you are standing next to them. “Tiny” (who is listed in the roster at 7’8″) didn’t even have to jump to dunk the ball! It was an awesome experience for our whole family! I can’t wait to see them again next year!

★★ Harlem Globetrotters “You Write the Rules Tour” ★★
Coming to a City near you SOON!
My family consists of me, my husband and two boys an 11 year old and a 2 year old. Trying to find something to do together can be a challenge to say the least. We don’t go to the movies very often in my family. First due to the expense, and second due to having the 11 year old agree to go to a movie that is age appropriate for a 2 year old doesn’t hold much interest for him. What usually happens is my husband takes one son and I take the other. So while we are doing something with the kids, we are not all together.
Quality time as a family builds memories that will last a lifetime.
The Harlem Globetrotters are something that we can all agree on. They entertain all ages! My 2 year old will be fascinated by their showmanship, while the 11 year old (and husband) will appreciate their athleticism and humor. I love the fact that with this tour specifically we can go online to vote for the rules we want in play! This will be fun because we will get to see what has the most votes when we go to the game!
I can’t wait to share their smiles with all of you!!!
So are you excited?!?! If you are check out some links below to see when the tour will be near you AND also look for a special discount code!
**Also for an additional fee (per ticket) you can get a “Magic Pass” where you can meet the players and get autographs!**

We all have some New Years Traditions we do every year. This is one I learned from my Grandma.
Every New Years Even when I was younger, My parents would have a “Get Together” at our house, so that meant my sister and I got to spend the night with my grandparents. My Grandma had a few odd traditions, Like eating Pickled Herring at Midnight; This one I did not partake in, lol. One that I do still carry on today though, is putting Money under the doormat outside before the New Year rings in.
I remember vividly my Grandma pulling out her coin purse and fumbling around in it to find a quarter, and then together we would step outside and put it under the doormat well before the clock struck 12. The next morning, you bring the quarter back in during the New Year.
It is said doing this, will insure that you have a financially comfortable New Year in your household. (Possibly a German tradition?)
We have continued this tradition on with our son, who is now 19, and he has taken it one step further. He puts out one quarter, one dime, one nickel, and one penny!
I of course know this is a “Tradition” that very possibly does not work, but isn’t carrying on fun traditions like this generation to generation what family is all about?
Head on over to Toys R Uson October 6th for some family fun!
The thing that sucks about having a little man at home, bored out of his mind because his sister is back to school, is that I need to find things for him to do. Now, I’d love to be one of those awesome moms who has activities planned out and is always sitting on the floor teaching her toddler, but I’m not. I probably never will be. So, when I find free printable coloring sheets, I print them out and put them in a file folder to pull out when I need something for him to do.
Slowly but surely, I’m working on scheduling time for the two of us to sit down together and work on some of the basic skills he needs to know when he goes to school eventually. I’m thinking these will also be great for those times because I can put them into little units and work with him! As I find more printables, I will be adding to this list so all of the coloring sheets will be in one easy to find location!
Admin Sarah here, and I wanted to take the time to mention how AMAZING House Party is, and how generous their sponsors are. About a month ago, I was accepted for the Fisher Price Playdate House Party.
THE PARTY PACK
I got an email stating that my Party Pack was on its way. Imagine my surprise when a very large, very heavy box shows up, packed to the brim with OVER $350 worth of toys!! I was just blown away, they went above and beyond anything I had imagined. They had also shipped out the Party Favors, for me to give to the guests, and even those were very generous. The guests each got a coloring book, a Wheelies vehicle, a dvd, a cd, a $5 off $25 coupon, and more. They even sent the gift bags and tissue paper!! My daughter, because of her age(26 months), received the Toddler pack. This included the Disney Princess Little People Songs Palace, along with two Figure packs, the Little People Wheelies Loops N Swoops Amusement Park, and the Servin Surprises Kitchen & Table set, along with 5 Accessories, including the Tea Party Set, the High Chair Set, the Birthday Set, the Ice Cream Party Set, and the Barbeque Set. On top of all this, they also sent 14 AA batteries!! I was just astounded at how much they sent, and amazed that they would be so generous!!
MY HOUSEPARTY
So this past Saturday, we had our Party, and the kids LOVED it!! My boys, 5 and 7, were playing with the Wheelies set all day, they loved the full loop the cars made going down the steep slide. My daughter and her friends played with the Princess Castle, which I think is amazing, when you set a Princess on the pedastal and push down, she says her name, a phrase from her movie, and then sings part of a song from the movie! My favorite is Ariel, who sings “Part of that World”, can’t wait for The Little Mermaid to come out of the vault in Fall of 2013 so I can buy it in Bluray! My nephew, who just turned 1, mostly played with the Wheelies cars, he was too cute, driving them around the bottom of the Rampway and Amusement Park, making his little motor sounds. They were not too interested with the Kitchen, but I have no doubt that as my daughter gets older, she will definitely play with it. It was so cute to see all these kids crammed into my daughters’ bedroom with all the toys. We have been Fisher Price customers for a long time, so on top of the 2 Little People sets they sent, we set up a “village” and added them to my daughters’ Castle, Zoo, Farm, House, and Rampway that she got for her 2nd Birthday.

GREAT MEMORIES
When I was little, my parents invested in all of the Little People sets, and my sister and I would be out on the living room floor bright and early setting up our village, we played with those sets for hours!! When she was first learning to talk, she referred to them as Peepios, and the name stuck! Our parents would lay down on the floor and play with us, driving the little cars around our town, taking kids to school, the park, the swimming pool, the grocery store, etc, and we were so happy that they were playing with us!
A MILLION THANK YOU’S
So I want to thank House Party and Fisher Price, your generosity truly amazed me, and I am absolutely thrilled that I get to carry on a great part of my childhood, and repeat the playtime with my children. I am almost 30, and still enjoy those “Peepios” just as much as I did when I was 5!!
