note: "wii" is pronounced "we" and is the newest game system out of nintendo.
(props to those who got the reference in the title... you have either recently had kids or recently were a kid...) ok, on with the blog post...
matt's been wanting a wii since, well - before they came out, and the "gimmes" got him bad right around his birthday, so he started saving. and for his birthday, i topped off his savings to cover the cost of the wii.
it took us a few days to actually find one - they sell out quickly, and you have to be in the store early on the day they receive a shipment if you have any hope at all of taking one home. and we were. and we did.
i can read your thoughts... "kate, why are you blogging about a video game system?"... because this isn't just any video game system. this thing is amazing.
first of all, it's interactive: when you play a baseball game, you actually get up and stand like a batter, or throw like a pitcher. we played tennis last night. and bowling (best game i've ever bowled. ever.) and of course, baseball.
and as soon as we have one more "nunchuk" (yes, really) controller, we'll play boxing... why spend money on marriage counseling?
second of all, it's personable. one of the first things you can do is create a "mii" (read: "me") - a wii-version of yourself.
so, yeah - we're addicted. and we're finding any excuse to use the word "wii" in conversation...
you know - "i'm wii-in' all over the place." i'll leave the rest to your imagination.
now, if only i had the free time to waste.
happy friday. more pictures next week. i promise.
