Evening kiddies

Rich had a long day at work today so we got home just a little while ago. Tonight i'm cooking. I need new ideas. I'm getting tired of hte same ole stuff.
Anyhow, I'll be on tonight after "So YOu Think You Can Dance" Got hooked on this show last summer and definitely have to see the new season.

And at some point I'll catch up on this thread

Ok, so we have the Wii now (very well hidden in my closet!)... tell me what are the best things to add TO it! I already figured Wii fit, my boys LOVE lego and star wars so I figured to get that game, as well as the new Indiana jones one, I was thinking Carnival might be fun too?

Any other must haves or should have's?

thanks!

DH was worried about the warantee if we wait to open it till Christmas and then find it doesn't work. Hmm... I wonder if we should open it up and hook it up in the bedroom for US to use until Christmas? LOL!

Hey Candy, I found a thread you started and put my 2 cents worth on it!

Allen, Randy here..I was actually the one who started it. I thought it would be interesting to read the stories of how everyone got hooked. Kind of a glimps into our family history and our thoughts about Disney. Kinda cool!!!

Thanks for contributing...

We have a game called Super Monkey Ball.....the kids LOVE it (and so do I!!!) it has 50 different games on it!!!!!! I think I picked it up at Walmart for $15 ?

Evening all!!!!

I had a really nice lunch with my friend today!!!! She is a really good friend and we have a great time whenever we get together!!!

The weather has been really weird for So Cal!!!! It snowed in our local mountains this morning, it was really windy yesterday and last night, and now it is raining with thunder and lightning!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great day!!!!!

Candy,

Glad that you had a nice time at lunch. Isn't it nice to be able to get together with friends and enjoy lunch. Makes for a perfect day.

The weather here has been nutty too. It is still soo cold and just damp feeling....>!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about that!! Y'all should sign Ran or Can after your posts!

Now I'm gonna vent!!!!!!!
Just finished mowing the yard, and thats it! We are going to walmart and get a new mower. I bought a craftsman mower 3 or 4 years ago, and that is the biggest piece of %&#@! I ever spent money on!
Venting complete.

Good Evening everyone!!!!

Heidi, I would say extra controllers...so everyone can play together! Charging bases for them...they come with the rechargable battery and base. Extra Nunchucks too..... the boys are telling me right now that thier favorite Wii game is Super Smash Brothers. They do play it A LOT!

As for luggage....we are being charged $20 for the first bag for EACH person...that's an extra $80 to the total. Then, if we were to choose, we could take 2 bags at $20 each or 3 bags for $140! Yes, they are charging $100 for the 3rd bag!!!! and yes, that's PER PERSON. So much for our really cheap flight! If we were staying in a condo with laundry, I could see being able to pack just a carryon...then hitting a store for all the toiletries. I have actually concidered seeing how much it would be to UPS our stuff to FL and then just having a carryon! It's going to be hard to pack light. I REALLY don't want to do wash while on the cruise, but it looks like we might be forced to!

Kristin, the boys want to know if you bought the mean version of WiiFit and not the nice version?? We were LOL at your comments! Mine has not said anything mean to me! Last night, Steve wanted me to show him some of the things. I was whining because i just wanted to go to bed...it was getting late!! Well, when I logged in it said, "Good Evening. It's getting late. Aren't you ready for bed?" We just burst out laughing! I told Steve, SEE!!! It knows me already!! I ended up staying up until 1130 and Steve stayed up a bit later. He said he quit when he was doing the yoga and he reached for the ceiling and hit his finger in the ceiling fan! LOL He's 5'10" and then standing on the board, that adds a few inches! He said the thought never even crossed his mind to watch for the fan!

Really? Steve bought me a Craftsman a few years ago...about the same time as you...and I LOVE that mower!! It got it's first tuneup this spring and it runs like a charm! I am sorry you aren't happy with yours! Mine is the Craftsman EZWalk 5.5 hp Honda Engine.

Good luck buying a new one!!!!!

Allen,

THat is the type of mower Bruce had before and then he got rid of it someone actually bought it from us for $200.00 lucky them. LOL!!!!!!!! He ended up buying a John Deer which we both LOVE!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cdhheidi]

Guess it is a good thing we are driving! LOL! I realize a lot of our gear is medical, but I can just imagine the looks people would be giving us as we piled on to a plane with ... 6 carry-ons! NOT including a backpack with reading material and games for the flight...

Oh my gosh Michele, Are you flying with AA???

I think I got the mean version.. Since today I was doing the hulla hooping and I got hit in the head with the hoop twice since you start with one hoop and they continue to throw more and more at you. Then the WII asked me do you have? I was laughing. Then the second time I got it, the WII said stay focused be sure to look when something is headed toward you. I think it hates me. LOL!!!!!!!! Then when I went to play it today it said that I was dedicated for coming back for day two...LOL!!!!!!!!! I think it really hates me...LOL!!!!!!!!!!But I did advance to the next stepping class today and jogged a half mile.....!!!!!!!! But during the run other MII's pass you out and my mom was running by me and stopped to tie her shoes (my mom's MII) and some other random MII came along and tripped right over her all of the other runners started laughing and waving...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do what we did. I accidently ran over the big ol' tree stump and totalled the motor. We had no choice but buy a new one

We are flying on Allegiant Air into Sanford. with all the fees and taxes it's still about $205 round trip per person...not TOO bad!

The boys are LOL at you!!! Connor said he has seen people pass and stop and tie thier shoes, but NEVER trip all over each other! That is just too funny! I LOVE the hula hooping! I can't get across the tight rope to save my soul! The skijump is REALLY fun and we have done a lot of that too. I did well at step class, but have only done it once, so I haven't had a chance to advance. I really like table tilt too...it reminds me of the game we used to have as kids....it was a wood box with knobs you had to twist to tip the table...I think it was just called laberynith? (sp) Connor ran for 20 mins today. He said it equals about 4 miles.

The boys are watching K-19, so as soon as it's over...which CAN'T Come soon enough, I will do a bit of WiiFit!!

I wish there was a way you could see how it treats me while I'm playing it. I swear it hates me...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! The hula hooping was FUN.. Bruce did well on the tight rope and loved the skijump too I've not tried either of them yet...

The step is my favorite and the running too!!!!!!!!

Does Allegiant Air have all of these fees too now???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is only a matter of time till they all do!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????
