We got a wii for Christmas. David is really liking the wii. I've hardly played it--and I'm originally the one who wanted it! David really likes bowling and making miis. Yesterday he probably played the wii 10 hours. Even Jarom's friend David has played our wii longer than I have. I finally I took over the wii for about an hour. Actually, David played, too, but I picked the game and had the main wiimote, so I was in control - even if I didn't know what I was doing.
We played Mario Karts and I was horrible at it. Well, for the first dozen times, at least. I kept going the wrong way on the track and bumping into walls and falling into the water and quicksand and coming in last place. It was driving the kids crazy. They were all yelling instructions at me (and David) and that made me even more confused. Then, miracle of miracles, I came in first place. I found out I'm much better playing as Bowser than Yoshi. Poor Yoshi. He kept making very sad noises when I ran him into things and lost.
After an hour of Mario Karts, Jarom and I came upstairs and watched "Strange Brew." He had never seen it before. Can you believe it??? He thought it was funny. Especially the part where they are in the courtroom and Doug has bullets up his nose and he sneezes. He thought Hosehead the dog was pretty weird, too.
Friday morning I made pancakes for breakfast. Before anyone could eat, I made them listen to "The Twelve Days of Christmas" by Bob and Doug MacKenzie on the Christmas CD Becky made for us. Cameron was getting frustrated because he thought it was dumb and his pancakes were getting cold. Tonight when we were making dinner, the kids finally figured out that it was the "Strange Brew"/"Brother Bear" moose guys that did the Christmas song. "Oh, that was them?!" they said. Um, yeah... Somehow they seemed to like it better once they knew who "sang" it. David says that song is the only Bob and Doug thing he likes.

Yeah, Ray & Dana totally hog the Wii too. And then they run the batteries out and the Wii Fit Board just says "Low Batteries!" at me in that cute squeaky voice it does. Maybe I'll get to play on it for more than 5 minutes one day.
That's very silly about Strange Brew. It's one of those movies that you just love because it's so stupid. And their 12 days of Christmas cracks me up. Especially the part when one of them (I can't remember which is which) says "This should only be the two days of Christmas...it's too hard for us!" Did you listen to "Mamacita, Donde Esta Santa Claus?" That's one of my new favorites.
I got a whole bunch of wierd new music for Christmas to burn CDs for you. Hooray! :)
Amazingly, we haven't had our original batteries run out. We even bought some rechargeable batteries and a charger at Sam's Club, just for when they do run out. I will have to try your wii fit sometime. I am contemplating getting one myself.
I thought "Mamacita" was funny. I liked how they changed the names of the reindeer. I'm excited you got lots of new weird music, I love the cd's you burn for me!
