Finally!!

We are the owners of a Wii. We have been patiently waiting for it to magically appear on a shelf. We have only been waiting since Thanksgiving when we played it at Uncle Bryans house. The kids loved it. So, not knowing about the demand, Shane went to find one the next day. Two hours later, he comes home empty-handed. This was fine with us. We didn't NEED it , it was just going to be fun. We were not going to wait in line in the wee hours of the mornings to get a Wii. We were going to wait until the "demand" died down. Today, a friend of ours, who knew we were looking for one, called and asked if we wanted one 'cause he was standing in front of the last two of twelve that were on the shelf. Long story short - he bought it because there were too many people there that wanted it and Shane hadn't made it to the store - which was only 2 minutes away - to purchase it. The crazy thing about all this is that there was no rushing, or yelling, or pushing or shoving to get the Wii. Just a friend who happened to be a Target this morning and found one. Since then, our house has been split. I am catching up on blogging and the other three are perfecting their bowling skills. This Christmas - Thanks to grandparents, my kids have entered the electronic age. With a Cars and Deal or No Deal electronic game (for the car) and a driving wheel that hooks up to the tv to play, and a camcorder (Brittyn) - our kids have expanded their free time activities. Which also gives mom and dad more to use in our arsenal of discipline options. Heh, Heh, Heh
