Whee! A Wii!

Gracie is one lucky girl! Her school was holding a raffle to raise money for an AED for the nurses office. I was happy to support the cause, and also very excited about the prize, a Wii. I had been admiring my siblings' Wiis and thinking about what a great family activity it is. Of course, I'm too cheap to shell out for one, but it was definitely on the wish list. My friend has been bringing Gracie home from school for me, since Rosie is too little to mingle in the germy cesspool that is kindergarten. When I opened the door on Friday to Gracie's incessant doorbell ringing, imagine my surprise when my friend handed me a Wii! Gracie won the raffle! It wasn't just any Wii, either. It was a Family Fun Pack with extra controllers and games! We all had a great weekend bowling and golfing and playing Mario Party. Mark even got his parents in on the action when they stopped in on their way home from Utah. (Isn't that sad? We live so far out here, we only get visitors as they drive by on long road trips!) So thanks Anthem Elementary! If only Gracie were old enough to hit the slots. . .
