we got a wii

It’s official. I’ve been wii’d. When the wii fit came out I thought it was all a bit silly, a computer to exercise on. Just get out in the fresh air! but when you spend as much time as we do at home……..because let’s be honest do you want to go out with 4 children under 5  to places where they are either going to a) get bored b) throw a tantrum c) want everything in sight d) outnumber you or e) all of the above. Well, I was starting to see the benefits for rainy days, super hot afternoons and as a better alternative to dvd’s.  

So I made an impulsive executive decision to get a Wii (and the Wii Fit plus) and I’m loving it. So far my favourite game is Just Dance. I thought we had come home with the latest Just Dance 2 but I had in fact picked up the wrong one (a pair of screaming twins out shopping will do that to you).  Miss keira is a natural……..so long as you let her win and I can’t wait to have some dance offs at our house. I haven’t had that much fun in a long time – i was squealing, singing and high 5ing!  
And I work up a sweat just doing the nickolodean fit when really I should be doing the biggest loser challenge………….Everyone gets involved but the twinnies are given pretend wii remotes and they don’t notice the difference, for now. And it’s just another reason not to fold washing and put it away – one of the jobs that seems to get done on a sunday night…………only to be replaced by a new pile the next day. Never ending washing here!

  1. Congrats to winner!!!

  2. You lucky,lucky pair. I’m envious. Congrats.

  3. Oooh you lucky, lucky ladies who won! I am also very envious! I think I might have to order some of this from Corrie’s store :) I love it! Unfortunately with two boys to sew for I’m not quite sure what I’d do with it…not sure either of them would appreciate a floral quilt?! Maybe I’ll have to just stash some in the hope I have a girl if we go back for a third ;-P

  4. Felicidades a la ganadora. Seguro que se pondrá muy féliz cuando reciba estas maravillosas telas.

  13. OMG, I won!!! Was sitting here at the computer this morning with wads of tissue stuffed up my nose. Just what I needed to start the new year: a cold. Then, wonder of wonders, my name, I won. Now that is the way to start a new year. Thank you Corrie!

  14. Yay! This is going to challenge my new year’s resolution to finish quilts before adding to my stash!

  17. I just have to say that I wish wiht all my heart I could reach through the computer and snuggle that sweet baby of yours. Oh man she looks so dreamy. And seriously, you are one talented lady! I can’t believe all the stuff you can make!

  18. Hi Corrie, Happy new year to you. Can’t wait to follow along with you. Emma.

  19. Congrats to your winners. It seems to me that last time I had a giveaway, I cut and pasted all of the comments into a microsoft word document and they somehow turned up numbered. Or something like that. I’ll bet it wouldn’t be hard to figure out and would probably be easier than counting so many entries!
