Playing Wii - Super Mario Smash Bros.

And now we have sound thanks to Flickr!

We've Created Wii Monsters!

I didn't quite realize how much Caleb and Lorelei dig the Wii.

We have xBox 360, okay we have a couple of them, but regardless we have it and games for it. The kids have enjoyed playing that and I figured it was a good enough stand-in for Wii, even though the Wii was my personal preference after playing the one my mom bought.

So, George got me the Wii for my birthday and the kids were "OMGTHISISTHECOOLESTTHINGEVERWHENDOIGETTOPLAY" excited.

Anyway, yesterday afternoon Lorelei and I played some tennis and then last night Caleb got to test out his boxing skills before the whole family played a round of bowling. (Which they let me win!) And this morning, before George or I had crawled out of bed, Caleb was downstairs - after being told no - trying to play Wii by himself.

I told them they couldn't play until after lunch today and they have been begging since 10AM for me to make lunch so that I would stop being so mean and just turn the darn thing on already!

Apparently, the Wii was much sought after by these too. And I think we'll probably get our money's worth. I also think that my decision to get them each a Wii game for Christmas will probably earn me thundrous applause and possibly an Emmy.
