Can I get a &#8220;Wa-Hoo&#8221;?  I bought in on Monday, since I was already at Circuit City spending large amounts of money for a certain 13 year old&#8217;s upcoming 14th birthday.  Actually, it&#8217;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).<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t really look like Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay or Ryan, actually have arms.  <\/p>\n<p>We will soon be experts on High School Musical songs, I tell you.  We&#8217;ll know all the words eventually, and then we&#8217;ll move on to the dance moves.  Oh, that will be a treat, I&#8217;m sure.  I won&#8217;t tell you when that will be because I&#8217;m sure you would all be flocking to our family room to watch us dance and sing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday night in lieu of a decent FHE lesson or activity, I broke out the surprise I had bought that day&#8230;. a USB Microphone for the Wii.
