Actually, I do have a really cute story (no pics though When my daughter Caeli was about 3 we went to the South Florida Fair. She kept asking me over and over if she could play the basketball game they had. I kept telling her no, no one ever wins those honey, it's a waste of money 5 bucks for 3 balls!) The girl who was working it hears us and says, Look let her play and I will give her a prize even if she doesn't make it in....Caeli hears this and is now looking at me with that PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE! look. So, I say fine and hand over my 5 bucks....well....my little one proceeds to make not 1, not 2, but ALL 3 baskets!! And not even in the basket in front of her!! She made it into 2 different baskets! She was so proud! The girl working (and myself) were totally floored. And Caeli also got her prize! She is 7 now and still loves to hear the story!

Well, my 2 younger kids don't play basketball, but oldest does. I don't get to see him often enough since he lives with his dad. None of them are on a team, but they all enjoy playing for fun. So I will tell why I would like the tickets.

Right now, although I am married, my husband works out of town, so it's just me and the kids. I work and go to school (I went back to school this year). On the weekends, I spend as much time as I can with my kids.

I love to expose my kids to as much as I can. I feel the more things I can expose them to, the more things they have to dream about becoming or doing when they grow up. They have never been to a professional game before, so it would be a treat that I normally can't do. Not to mention how much fun it would be!

Just an FYI for anyone else wanting to enter this, the winner will be announced on Monday...

Okay, guys, we only have two people entered which means their odds (and yours, if you enter) are REALLY good. Just another reminder, the winner will be announced tomorrow after 5 p.m.

Well, I think I have figured out that you moms like the gift cards -- Starbucks, Target, DaySpas. Since only two people entered this contest, I literally flipped a coin and bishop96 is the winner. Congrats! But, don't worry, there will be more contests to come. A very special thank you to myspiritwithin for playing

Bishop96, I will send you an email with the details of the ticket pickup information.

Congrats Bishop96! Have a great time.
