Hi Everyone
Here's some new stuff
If you have time today (Saturday)
"Carwash for Haiti" being held by our Waterloo Professional Fire Fighters Assoc @ the Columbia Station.... 10 to 2 today.
Also I went to Dollarama & got all of this stuff
(except the laundry soap bars because there's aren't packaged, so I'll grab them at the grocery store) the Dollarama purchase was less than $20 http://mcc.org/kits/relief
There's drop off locations listed for both Kitchener & Waterloo
-----------------
Now here's some fun stuff
Kitchener might make it onto the new Monopoly game!(no Cambridge or Waterloo choice, so we hope all of you will vote KITCHENER)
http://www.monopolyvote.ca/en_CA/world
On the right side of the page you'll need to click LOG IN
Then you need to create a password (just email & a password), after you log in, go back to main page & scroll down to Kitchener. Click on Kitchener. A box will pop up with some info about Kitchener, then click ADD TO MY CITIES. After that the main page will show up again & at the bottom of the screen you'll see a red box that says VOTE, so click that & you'll have to confirm you picked KITCHENER by typing in the code box letters. I think you can vote daily.
----------------------
Also currently the East Side Marios on Highland Rd has Kids Eat Free Monday to Wednesday.
They also have a WINNERS promotion as well.
So last week I took my son, he ate for free & our Winning Ticket gave us a free dessert for our next visit.
------------------------
This event is a Women Only (sorry NO kids event) for tomorrow, Sunday

It's a Squeeballs Party!
Hey there Holiday readers, hope you are well this holiday season!
Things are very exciting around my place! We're busy playing Squeeballs for Nintendo Wii & DS
This game is rated E10, which is perfect for my son!
It's a game about being a toy tester. As a player you must run these toys balls through a variety of challenges to see if they hold up under the Extreme playing situations.
The Squeeballs that pass the tests make it off their island & can go to the toy store.
It's truly a fun & silly game, which makes it perfect for family play.
There are several ways to play it. On our Wii we chose PARTY MODE so we could take turns playing the challenges on the Ladder. As you get better, more challenges are unlocked & added to the Ladder.
I don't know about the DS version yet, as my son won't let me get my hands on it (so I'm guessing that's a good thing).
Want to see why we're giggling all day with this game? Take a look at this short video http://www.squeeballs.com/#/see-us-in-action
Also on the site you can see other info about the game by clicking the buttons on the blender (yup you get to blend a Squeeball - too funny!)
I'm giving away a copy of Squeeballs for Wii & a separate copy of Squeeballs for DS over at my other blog

the post is the same but at the bottom of that post is how to enter.
