The Wii

I can't hardly believe it but we finally found a Wii. I have been looking for one since November. The months of frustration are behind me, but can I complain one more time? Why do clerks when you ask if they have any Wii's say yes, but we sold out this morning? I would have my hopes raised and dashed in mere seconds. But enough of that.
I have to say that it was worth the whole purchase price just to watch my kids throw their bodies around trying to hit an imaginary ball. If you have a Wii you know what I mean- if you don't go to your friends house that does, it is hilarious.
The day after the purchase, all three kids were nursing sore arms. Even my big strong husband thinks he might be developing tendinitis and that is only after a short time playing. You could say we are a little intense at our house.
It is funny though. I have been hunting for the elusive Wii for so long that now that I have one, I miss the hunt. Crazy huh? I think sometimes that looking forward to something can be funner that having that thing you were hoping for.

Spring Break

Well, Spring Break is at an end. To tell you the truth, I am as sad as the kids are that they are going back to school. We have really enjoyed the time off.
The kids and I went to Idaho to visit my family and had as good as time possible without Darwin there. That is one thing about being married to a Highway Patrolman- he rarely has the same days off as the kids so we have to do a lot of things without him. :(
The weather was awful. I was hoping that spring break would include some spring time temperatures while we were in Idaho. I think it snowed half of the days that we were there.
There was however a lot of time spent playing with cousins that we only see about four times a year and we got to see my brothers cat have kittens. Yes, you heard right- we watched her having kittens. Let me tell you that can bring up a whole list of questions that I didn't know that I was ready to answer. If I can figure out how, I will post some pictures of the happy event.
The kittens were born during one of the before mentioned snow storms and didn't look like they were going to make it. Now I am not a cat person, but I found myself wanting to do anything possible to make sure those cute little things made it. We brought them in the house, gave them a heating pad and warmed blankets in the microwave. Crazy huh?

I am a Blogger

I am finally joining the blogging movement. I don't scrapbook and I have to say that journal writing is not my strong point- I figure that by posting pictures and saying a little about what is going on in our family that I will be killing two birds with one stone. Hurray for us!!!!!
I have been silently cyberstocking some of my neighbors blogs for about a month now and it has been so much fun getting to know them a little more through this medium.
Wish me luck!
