Wii and Go Bucks!

I get it now.

I never had video games when I was growing up (I think part of it had to do with the fact that we were a family of all girls). I played them occasionally when I went to friends’ houses, but I’ve just never been into them.

So when the Nintendo Wii came out I thought it was cool, but nothing I would ever think to actually go buy. But this year hubby has become increasingly more interested in it, and actually talked about getting one. I didn’t take him seriously until recently when he would drag us to stores looking to see if anyone had one in stock.

Then he found a friend that is down supporting our Buckeye’s as they beat LSU tonight that has a Wii. His friend is letting us borrow it. And I’m completely addicted!

I now understand how Sherry over at The House of Mis-Fits stays up late each night bowling. I love the bowling! And the best part about it? Hubby, my daughter and I bowl and we are each playing as hard as we can and it’s a good game! What other system can you say that you play as hard as you can against your 4 ½ year-old and they win???

We played it all weekend. And then my sister-in-law and her family came over and we played it with them and had a blast! Hubby and I had to stop playing and make ourselves go to bed last night because we were having so much fun!

So needless to say we will definitely be getting one when they actually get back on the store shelves :)

And I hope you all tune in tonight to watch the Championship game…we are so pumped up here! To give you a better feeling of what we’re like in the Buckeye state, here’s a funny forward I received about Ohio (and it’s so very true!):

Jeff Foxworthy on Ohio:
