The boys have really wanted to get the Wii gaming system. We told them that it wouldn't even be an option until our basement was finished. So, they began saving up all of the Walmart giftcards they have received for various holidays in hopes of buying one by Christmas time. Well, now that the basement is done, we decided to meet them halfway and pay for the rest of it as their birthday gift from us. Caleb's birthday is August 11th and Noah's is September 11th, so we decided we'd better give them the gift soon, as they were wondering what we would be doing for their birthdays (to celebrate). We wrapped it up and gave it to them on Sunday....and were they excited!! Of course, this meant that they would only be able to invite one friend to go out to eat with us on their actual birthday, as we don't usually spend big amounts of money on gifts for the kids....but they were just fine with that. They've been playing non-stop the last few days! I figure they better get it out of their systems now, before school starts and we have to set stricter time limits on it.
