Heres a little preview of my 4 year old playing Wii sports boxing. This truly is a system for all ages. Of course, you dont have to stand that close to the tv to play. I will post a more detailed review in a few days (along with some more pics or video)

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Ok so, once again, it has been a few weeks since I posted. Sorry. I guess its a good thing I didn't opt to do that blog every day for a whole month thing.

Anyways, there hasn't been a whole lot going on here. We survived the holidays and some how I didn't get any pictures from Thanksgiving. Oh well.

So the reason I am posting today is because my husband (and I) have been on a ravenous hunt for a Nintendo Wii. We bought a Nintendo 64 when they first came out and had a ton of fun with it. Since then we haven't had a gaming system. ( I remember my friend Heidi having the original nintendo when it first came out [back in the day] ...I was soooo jealous!!! I would go to her house just to play duck hunt LOL).

Okay, getting side-tracked here...So today I am sitting in my chair giving my neice her bottle when my husband rushes in the door, all out of breath hollering something about me not answering my cell phone. I quizically gave the "whats going on" look. He yells...Walmart has THREE Wiis in stock right NOW.....gimme all your money!!!!

Needless to say, I surrendered my checkbook and he came home with this...




Please ignore the folded laundry in the background. I intended to finish laundry today, however, now my plan is shot. I believe I will be spending the next 12 hours (at least) playing :)
