I’m sure most of you guys have heard of the Nintendo Wii by now. But, before Christmas rolled around, I had never even seen the Wii and had no desire to play one. (Not a big video gamer.) I had heard all about it though. How you can create characters (Miis) to resemble yourself and play games like bowling and golf and tennis… all with a remote. You’ve seen the commercials, with everyone looking silly in front of their TV, punching at invisible objects. (That’s the boxing game, by the way.)
Then, for Christmas, my sister got one, my best friend got one and my aunt won one at her Christmas Party. Everywhere I went, I was surrounded by cartoon versions of my friends and family bowling and playing tennis. All of the sudden, I had to have one. So, a few days and five stores later, I too was the proud owner of a shiny white box of fun.
And it is fun! On New Year’s Eve, we bowled for almost eight hours straight. We couldn’t stop. I’m sure there’s a bunch of you that know exactly what I’m talking about. And for the record, my niece rocks at bowling. She has a high score of 254 and she’s only seven. I’m… well…I’m not seven, but I can’t beat her for the life of me. (She likes to remind me of it, too.)
Anyway, we’ve had such a great time playing this thing, that I wanted to spread the fun. So here’s a little giveaway with a big prize.
The Wii:
Includes the Wii console, Wii remote, Nunchuk controller, disk of sports games and wires and stuff.
Keep reading to see how you could win it.
Here are a bunch of Miis I made on the Wii for this giveaway.
And, here are a bunch of Mii cupcakes.
All you have to do to enter for a chance to win is…

I thin it C. What an incredible job on the cupcakes. Actually using getting a Wii as a reward chart for my 8yo ADHD son. He was halfway but some new issues cropped up so we redid it. Of course that means it I won it I can’t play it til heearns it. of course if it was sitting there it might motivate him faster.

H is my pick!

Goin’ with C
My in-laws have the Wii and we had a bowling tournment over Christmas – we used the practice game where each time more pins are added and by the 10th frame there are 91 pins – my nephew (4) got a strike (w/91 pins) and TOTALLY rocked at this game (actually those were his words) – in fact all the kids dominated the adults
The Wii fit was especially effective after several rounds of drinks – watching my father-in-law ski (in cowboy boots) and all the hula hooping – my abs got a total work out from laughing so hard : )
Hmmmmm…I’m thinkin’ C.
My pick is G.
I love your blog. Your creations have inspired me to make my babies first birthday cake!
kimmoulton@hotmail.com
H! You rock, BTW
Gimme a G :)
I pick C! You’re too much fun!
I think that it’s C . . . It’s too hard, but that is my final answer.
What a cute idea! I am going to pick C.
