We were going to wait until it was officially Father’s Day to present Dex with his gift, but the big brown truck arrived yesterday and if I’d made Edward wait FOUR WHOLE DAYS his head would have burst in anticipation (and mine from the pestering and pleading). So last night we plopped the box in front of Dex, wished him an early happy Father’s Day and watched him open the cardboard flaps to addiction.

Can I just say this? The Wii. Is. Incredible. I think I have a wii hangover this morning. Dex and Edward swarmed around it like flies on.. you know what. And after the kids were in bed, Dex and I played a couple of rounds of golf. And I loathe golf. But not on the Wii. The Wii makes golf fun.

Eddie is not the only one making mental lists of which games to buy next.

The Wii was a splurge. I hesitated to spend that much right now. But we’ve been living with a lot of stress for a long time and we deserve to have some plain old fun together.
