The kids finally earned their Wii! With the Christmas money they got from Grandpa Larry and Grandma Peggy they pooled it together and had enough for their half of the Wii. Last summer they first played some Wii games at a friends house and they came home asking if we could get one. We told them they were expensive so we made them a deal that if they saved up enough of their money for half of it, we would put in the other half. So they saved up allowance money, did extra jobs and sold as many golf balls and candy that they could. It's been a long process, but hopefully it will make them more grateful for it.
The kids want to play it all day! Hopefully when school starts back up this will be a good bribing tool to get them to do their homework and chores. :) Mike is actually the biggest kid of them all. For months now he has been nagging the kids to save their money so that we could get the Wii. He loves playing it just as much as they do. Our favorite game so far is "Monkey Ball Banana Blitz".
Aria is our little cheerleader. She keeps the rest of us entertained while we wait our turns. She was being a funny little girl doing silly dances and singing funny songs.
