I had a pretty weird week. I came down with something (yuck) and then had a run in with my daughter's school (I'm still trying to figure it out). I am really looking forward to relaxing this weekend and getting my mind off of things. We'll be heading to the Big Y Kids Fair on Saturday. It should be fun to walk around. If you want to read my report to see if you should head out on Sunday, then "like" Macaroni Kid on Facebook and I'll post a link to my write up.
Saturday night is a great night to prepare some appetizers for the Big Game on Sunday. My hometown team is the Eagles, so I don't have a dog in this particular fight, but my husband is a Patriots fan. If you are looking for a recipe for the game, you can try these pizza puffs or these buffalo chicken meatballs.
In only one week, The Palace Theater in Waterbury will have Shrek the Musical as part of its Broadway Series! I've heard great things about this adaptation of the family-favorite film--which is one of my favorite kid's movies for adults. Not only is the play in Waterbury, but two Macaroni Kid families could be winners of family four packs to see the show on Friday night! Enter now because the giveaway ends on Wednesday!
- Giveaways:
- Winter Wonderland Ball at Stepping Stones in Norwalk
- Shrek Broadway Play at the Palace Theater in Waterbury
- Harlem Globetrotters in Hartford at the XL Center.
- It is time to research day cares and preschools for the coming year if that is part of your plan.
- Macaroni Kid has a big list of area restaurants that offer free and cheap kids' meal deals. Did I miss one? Let me know at kimm@macaronikid.comt
