Playing Wii

I had a friend ask me to pick up a Wii item that she got on her porch cause she wouldn't be home. The boys saw the package and asked what it was so I told them and then they persisted to say how much they wanted a Wii. (Game console- for those of you like me who don't know what it is!) Austin had a left over Walmart gift card but it just wasn't enough money. They begged and I said guess you will have to save your money. They all went home and got their piggy banks and had them dumped on the floor. They counted and counted and asked if it was enough. They were able to combine all the money they had and the gift card and it ended up being enough for them to get a whole bundle package with all the fun things!These are some pictures of Kaden and a friend boxing together. They are so involved in the whole punching thing. If you enlarge the pictures one of them Kaden has his tongue half out, like he does when he is deep in thought. Notice the legs up and standing on tippy toes!!! Wow.... so involved in the game!!!
I am not a big game person but I have to admit that the Wii is actually kind of fun even for adults. Not that I have much time to play!! It was certainly fun for the boys to get something of their own that they really want. Well of course now they are broke so they are trying to do as many jobs as they can to earn something extra. They are really wishing that the snow would come back so they can shovel neighbors out for a price!!!!

Ha ha ha ...those are great pictures. I haven't taken any of Ethan in action on the Wii, but I may have to now! The one with Kaden's tongue is hilarious. :) We're glad you joined the gaming community! Ethan came home and told me about the games you had and that they were "really fun." I think he enjoyed playing with someone his own age. We'll host it next time!
