Wii finally did it

The lovely stimulus package arrived last Friday. Wii put money into the kids' savings accounts, our accounts, and decided to go ahead with the option wii had been thinking about. Wii gave the kids money to spend together (or much less to spend separately). They first decided to get Guitar Hero for the PS2 and so Corey took them to the store. Turns out that Sony isn't replenishing the stock of GH for the PS2. The kids were disappointed to say the least. Corey was asking the clerk about the Wii and how long it usually took when on the waiting list,etc. He said that he thought he had one in the back if he was interested. After talking to the kids (seriously now) they said yes. I received a phone call from them and received the message via very excited scream "Wii got a Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!" LOL!

Sooo...wii finally bit the bullet and joined the Wii Club! The kids got to stay up late and play a few games. Then Corey and I played bowling for about an hour. Not bad considering I'm sick... coughing my head off & feeling like crapola. Today has been all about trying out the various games and planning for future game purchases.

Spring Sickies

Well ick! Alex was sick all last week. He had a fever off/on...anywhere from 99-103...and headaches. Then he developed a slight cough & runny nose, neither of which caused him any problem. Then over the weekend all that was gone but his asthma kicked up. So we were doing breathing treatments with him, he coughed half the night and wasn't sleeping very well. Mother's Day was good and he felt better. Morgan started coughing Sunday night...a wet, congested cough. She has it pretty good now. Alex and I started coughing late last night. I am feeling it this morning. Yuck!

I hope the sickies get out of here quick.

Not on the Test

Just *one* reason to homeschool. :-) You've got to listen to the song. It really does depict the school system today....unfortunately.
