A Wii Wiik!! (A Wii Week)

Well, we hope all is great with everyone.  We had a good week, super busy at work too (well, for Melanie anyway).  Yes we watched our movies, and let me tell you, after watching Johnny play Sweeney Todd, I’m now re thinking my favorite actor.  He was really creepy in that flick, however it was good.  The real fun started on Wednesday when my cousin texted Andy letting him know that some Nintendo Wii’s were coming into his store!  Naturally, we told him to jump on it!!!!  That evening we sold the futon in the playroom, and soon after Andy set up the Wii!  After the girls hit the sack, we played a quick game of bowling…and OOH the fun we had.  I almost thought I was gonna throw the remote through the screen of our TV.  Next morning I woke up with an aching right arm, shoulder and back, never thought a video game could give you such a work out.  Alyssa had a sleepover at Mimi and Poppi’s on Friday evening so that we could re-decorate her and Maddie’s playroom. Unfortunately, when she got home, she was feeling under the weather so we took Alyssa to the after hours clinic Sunday morning to find out she has a virus.  Her tonsils are very red and swollen, doc did a strep test that came back negative, however, he’s sending it out to a lab just to be certain.  While we were busy working on the playroom we had a landscaping guy come to the door asking if we needed any work done…well, for those of you who have SEEN our front and back yard, know that it needs help, so we had them work on it for us.  Both front and back yards, they worked for near 4 hours, and it’s looking so much better.  Andy liked it so much, that he decided to hire them to come out twice a month.  We figure this gives him more time with the girlies and I, rather than going out for 3 hours every other weekend to work on the yard. 

Alyssa and I had a little present for Daddy when we came back from getting the mail on Saturday night.  His alternative fuel license plate came in!  He LEGALLY drove in the carpool lane to and from work today and it knocked about 20 minutes off his AM/PM commute.  The Hybrid is a fun car to drive, no real power, but fun.  It’s cool to make the MPG meter hit 100mpg, although that’s not the mileage it gets.  Andy filled up last week for $30 with appx 43.5 mpg.  It’s really a good buy for the amount of driving he does to and from work, and picking up the girls. 

Alyssa and Mom’s day off consisted of two rounds of Alvin and The Chipmunks and one round of Enchanted (which by the way is really good).  We’ll now fall to sleep with the sound of a chipmunk serenade.  “Christmas, Christmas time is near, time for toys and time for cheer…….”  Is it in YOUR head now?  Good!  Hehehe!  Good thing is, Alyssa appears to be feeling 99.9% better and can go to school and daycare tomorrow. 

Hope this finds you all doing well…wishing you all a wonderful week!  Love you all!
