We recently acquired a Nintendo Wii.  Oh my gosh!  It is so much fun!  I"ve played before, so i knew it would be fun, but i didn't realize how addictive it would be.  Mark set it up yesterday (after he got all the fancy high definition cables we needed).  It's the Wii sports one, so it came with all the sports games:  bowling, baseball, golf, tennis & boxing.  We played it for 2 hours yesterday.  This picture shows josie boxing.  She was really hardcore with the boxing.  Although, she didn't get the first knockout of the family.  That would be me!  My arm is still a little sore from boxing (yah, i know i'm out of shape).  Here's a picture of Mark boxing, too. 

He almost had a picture of me boxing, but he was laughing too hard.  By the time he realized he should take my picture & stop laughing, the match was over & my opponent was knocked out!  That's right!  Look out! 

This morning, jakob woke up at 7 & came in our bed.  Ten minutes later, josie came in, too.  Jakob wanted to get up, so i said "ok, kids, let's get up".  Jakob & i got out of bed & josie said "no, i'll lay in here til dad gets up, then we can play the Wiiiiiiiiiii".  SHe can't just call it the Wii, it has to be Wiiiiiiii.  After mark & josie got up, i said i was going to take a shower (which means the kids watch a video or when mark is home - play video games).  Josie asked if i could wait til she was done eating breakfast.  I obliged her & had a cup of coffee while she ate her cereal. It didn't dawn on me that she had an ulterior motive, i thought she wanted to enjoy my morning grumpiness or something.  When she was done eating she said "Mom, why don't you go take a nice loooooooong shower now".  Then she looked over to mark & said, "ok, dad, let's play the Wiiiiiiiiiiiii".  She didn't want to waste my shower time eating & lose out on precious Wii time. 

Jakob doesn't like it too much.  He's not too good at it yet, so i'm sure that doesn't help.

So, does anyone have any suggestions on games the kids & i would like?  I know mark has suggestions for games he'll like, so i'm just looking for suggestions for me & the kids.  Anyone?  I was thinking Dance, dance revolution.  I think josie would love that game ... and it's probably really good exercise for us!
