Got Wii?

With it being our first post of the new year, I suppose I should be saying something profound . . . then again, it is pretty profound that we succumbed and bought a video game console!!!! Which is also why I haven't posted in so long. We have been having too much fun bowling, boxing, dueling in tennis etc. to do much posting. (That and the fact that I have been sore from my neck to my feet since Christmas!) So without further ado let me introduce you to my little friend . . . 

I have taken a lot of pictures of us playing on the wii but pictures don't capture the "3D" of playing on it. We also have video of all of us playing (videotaping is Collins new hobby), but that should not be shown to those outside our family. SO, I think this video will do justice to the excitement and complete dumbfoundedness (is that a word?) the kids had about it. You have to realize that we have always had a "no video games" rule in the house. I am posting this even though I am showing how bad and crabby of mother I am. In case you forgot, Collin is a Lego fanaAtic, so he was building his latest set (which absorbs his whole mind and body) and Grace had started opening it (does that give me some justification?) . . . 

After all the excitement, Collin immediately returns to the Legos . . .
