Wii is on the way!!

Thanks to Auntie Teresa and the release of the new Wii Fit bundle, a Wii will be coming to our household!

Auntie T was at Target bright and early this morning to grab a copy of Wii Fit and noticed 3 consoles were available.

So she calls us at home at 7am......

"Hey - it's me", she says.

"Uhhhh, is something wrong?" I ask tentatively (after all, who calls on a Wednesday morning unless something bad is going down??).

"Do you want a Wii?", she asks, almost like she is whispering - probably because she is waiting in line with a bunch of other people who don't have to show up to work on time (just kidding, T!).

"Wha???" Obviously, 7am is too early for me to think and have a real conversation.

"I'm at Target - they have a Wii here - do you want me to buy it for you?".

"Uhhh, I guess so....."

"What do you mean 'I guess so'? Don't you want one?" (Teresa has obviously been awake longer than I have this morning - she sounds exasperated with me)

"Uhhhh, sure..... maybe we can find one here......"

"Uggh - I'm just going to get one for you!"

"Uhhh, OK....." I turn around and announce "Hey kids - Auntie Teresa found a Wii and is going to buy it for us".

Much screaming and shouting ensues in the kitchen. Obviously, my kids can comprehend this stuff much better than I can.

So, the Wii is on its way from North Carolina to Illinois.
I am sure I will have to put up with the "when will it be here" rhetoric until it arrives.

  1. Auntie Teresa is one cool aunt. We are having a blast with our Wii. We've had it for about a month and it has been so much fun!

    Do you have it yet? What do the kids think?

  2. Well, Auntie T hasn't shipped it yet! (She's been busy)....
    We should receive it in time for next weekend, though. We already purchased some extra games, an extra WiiMote and Nunchuck.
