one year later

The boys put in countless hours

trying to sell me on the benefits of owning a Wii.

They’d figured out the financing

- mostly themselves -

and dreamed and researched.

And talked.

And then, a year ago today,

Papa surprised us

with a Wii.

Although I feel I was a little mislead

(I was shocked

to find there were sit-on-the-couch-to-play Wii games

‘cause the boys biggest push

was all the exercise they’d get while playing this game system)

I think it was a good purchase.

A complete fitness program

it is not

but we’ve certainly had good times with it.

Many Fridays

it’s been the ‘fun’

in Family Fun Night.

Plus

it’s good for a cheap, quick bowling date.

Which is quite romantic

seeing that

mine and Tyler’s first date

was

bowling.

He claims I sat on his lap.

On the first date?! I think not!

I think

he took one look at my rear in those adorable floral Zena jeans

(or was it my adorable rear in the floral Zenas?!)

and the rest

as they say

is history.

-ahem-

What was I saying?

Oh yes, the Wii.

Worth the money, if you’ve got it to spend.

And this

from somebody who despises video games.

Bowling, anyone?
