We're One of Those Families

I NEVER thought my little family would be one of THOSE families.

I don't believe in it, after all.

I frown upon those who do.

I cringe when I see children doing it in stores.

Or on the soccer field.

ESPECIALLY in church (we NEVER will be that family).

It's fine for THOSE families, but NOT mine.

We, the Gordostyle family, are completely addicted to video games.

With the addition of the Wii system and the Nintendo DS this holiday season...

Um, well let's say, we (ALL) may have a slight addiction problem.

I let it slide over Christmas vacation and splurged with time spent in front of the T.V. or the little screen on the DS.

However, Scott may have to go to DS Anonymous.

SOON.

He did make this comment the other night, while playing Super Mario in bed (how romantic), "Mario. All of this for a girl? Sheesh!"

He (and maybe all of us) are more than a little addicted to Super Mario Bros.

Hence, no blogging this week.

(OK. Seriously I've been SUPER busy with other things this week. That blogging sentence above was a joke. And besides, I'm being sucked into my addiction to the Twilight series again.)

((Hence, the NO blogging.))

(((Book 3 is getting SO VERY GOOD!)))

Anyway... does the Wii count as exercise? Because both the Peanut and I were totally stiff from it on Monday. I wish they had something that my left arm muscles would get use out of (while bowling or playing tennis) so my newly formed muscles on my right arm would match my totally-gone-with-the-wind-non-existent muscles on my left arm.

And might I add just one more thing... the DS works MARVELOUS when you have a non-shopping-kind-of-kid with you and are trying really hard to hit ALL of the after Christmas sales. Although, you may need a leash... because when they are following you and have their nose GLUED to the little screen, they don't pay much attention to following you.

Yep, we're one of them now.
