We too do not own a video game console and I hope that that remains the case (though the kids each have a Leapster that was gifted from my parents and that they are allowed to play with on a very limited basis.) I love that your kids don't need virtual stimulation and are thrilled to engage themselves with what they have - and I love that you are right there with them!<br /><br />(And I haven't yet ventured onto eBay, but I just sold a handful of things on Craigslist - Momma has a new addiction!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-51251685999198737222010-01-11T23:24:04.860-05:002010-01-11T23:24:04.860-05:00Oh I love it I love it I love it!

We have no gaming systems here, and the tv is rarely on when the wee ones are awake (football and periodic Saturday night Movie Night With Mommy being the exception). Then again, we don't have basketball hoops or air hockey in our basement. Hmmm....

I though about adding the new elastic bands and a leg strap but I already have tie-backs for my curtains.imbeingheldhostagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771374087307254969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-89530065407201659002010-01-11T19:35:40.912-05:002010-01-11T19:35:40.912-05:00We do not have the Wii Fit yet, but we do have a W...We do not have the Wii Fit yet, but we do have a Wii and we all love it and have a great time playing it. The Wii Sports is fun and even my four year old likes to play.

If you want a wii fit you can call me up and I will hide in your shower. tHen you'll step on the scale and I'll go "ohhhh, that's overweight!" in a really condescending robot voice that sounds like a mouse on helium. (the hiding in the shower thing sounds creepy but it's not) <br />Thats what having a wii fit is like. And then to kick you while you're down the little avatar thing gets fat like I am! <br /><br />Although you are probably skinnier than me, so maybe you're safe from mean mickey mouse voice.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881590483174001768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-86270544194441785592010-01-11T13:55:38.227-05:002010-01-11T13:55:38.227-05:00I say you do what works and it sounds like you kno...I say you do what works and it sounds like you know what that is.

Now, if I could flood out and area in my backyard and make an ice rink, that would be cool.<br /><br />I personally, enjoy playing on the Wii and think that Wii Fit is a good way to get some exercise - even with the smack talking computer voice that says I am about ten sizes too big, or whatever it says. However, I am a bigger fan of getting the kids out of the house and playing, plus there isn't any computer telling you that you're fat. :)Roger Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831602215904873587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-89501876886462937582010-01-11T10:11:33.887-05:002010-01-11T10:11:33.887-05:00While I am a Wii Fit advocate - it certainly sound...While I am a Wii Fit advocate - it certainly sounds like your family has its own "fit" routine.

I'm so glad that they are evolving into more than sitting on your butt and playing Mario (or whatever it is that they do these days ;-), but one can only do so much hooked to a TV.<br /><br />I'm jealous of the idea of an ice rink in your backyard!jaynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215255040847440452noreply@blogger.com
