Wii


Wow. Its been awhile. I just haven't had much to write about. Many things happening in my life, but not some I want to share with the world:). But now I have something I want to share. From my past posts most of you will know that I love the Wii! I mean love, it is such a great way to pull the family together and exercise without even realizing it because you are having so much fun. Well, Sam and I made the splurge and bought one.

I have had so much fun, along with so much frustration. Right when I think I have perfected bowling , I seriously scored a 300 game...perfect, my next game is 170 something. What?? Then there is tennis. I love it, thought I had it down, and then Sam decided he play me. He is good. I mean GOOD! I have to admit as mad as I get because he is beating me I have a lot of fun. It is such a challenge. I start just thinking I will play him a game of tennis and then it ends up 8 games later, sweat pouring down my back and face, and I have maybe won a couple games. It's such a work out. I'm one of those Wii players that fully gets into it. Sam barely moves and I'm all over the place. It has to be pretty funny to watch!! I definitely follow the strap to wrist rule. A couple days after we got it I was so sore that I couldn't even turn my neck...it was one of those entire body turns! Started feeling better last night, so I whipped Sam in bowling and he whipped me in tennis!

One more note on the Wii, the kids have really enjoyed it also. It amazes me that a 4 year old can play the game. They are all great! We have really had a blast as a family with our new Wii!
