I think I've lost my mind - We bought a Wii !

I don't know what came over me yesterday. Kenny and I went Christmas shopping in Murfreesboro and came back with a Wii. We have been talking about it over the past week but I thought I could make it through the "We want a Wii stage !!" But I didn't.

It's going to be getting colder soon and the kids will need something to keep them a little active when they can't go outside. This sounded like a great reason to get a game, but we have already had arguing and tears - we have already threatened to return it.

They have been playing better the last little bit though, I'm hoping it will become a treat that they will work for and enjoy. We had to set some rules :
1. If you give me a hard time over doing your school work - no Wii.
2. Hannah made a Wii Card for each of them and we taped them by our school table - if I have to take down their Card - their will be no Wii for them the rest of the day.

I think Kenny is enjoying as much or more than the kids! lol

I've never wanted a game system and I've held out for 8 or 9 yrs. now so I guess we will see how it goes. I know Brady and Hannah love playing and it's good for them to learn to share and get along - I just hope this helps (not make it worse.)

One thing I've learned over the past few years is "Never say Never." Because when I do I'm asking for it to happen.

"I never want to have a game system" - Oh but now I have one!
