Sing it!

On Monday night in lieu of a decent FHE lesson or activity, I broke out the surprise I had bought that day…. a USB Microphone for the Wii. Can I get a “Wa-Hoo”? I bought in on Monday, since I was already at Circuit City spending large amounts of money for a certain 13 year old’s upcoming 14th birthday. Actually, it’s part of a Christmas present. Late, yes. Who knew that if you bought the High School Musical sing along game for the Wii, you have to buy a Microphone to go with it? Really? Who knew? Well, not me. And then after Christmas when I tried to get one, they were sold out (ok, I really only tried two stores and then forgot about it, but I did at least try).

So, I broke out the microphone, we opened up the game, and we had a fun night singing along with our favorite High School Musical songs. Even John had a couple of turns, although he has a bit harder time at it then his sisters. The girls are belting out the songs, getting the words wrong and the tunes right about 1/2 of the time, but it was FUN! And these Wii characters, although they don’t really look like Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay or Ryan, actually have arms.

We will soon be experts on High School Musical songs, I tell you. We’ll know all the words eventually, and then we’ll move on to the dance moves. Oh, that will be a treat, I’m sure. I won’t tell you when that will be because I’m sure you would all be flocking to our family room to watch us dance and sing.
