Kinect

While we were at Target yesterday, Steve discovered an XBox Kinect on sale for $99 - and it came with 3 games!  I had been talking about getting one for my birthday since they have a Fit game for it.  Cheaper than the gym!!  So we snapped it up...early birthday.  Wm has a love-hate relationship with the thing.  Since he's so tiny, it has trouble following his movements and often misses what he's doing (and also, SOMEONE is so spastic that it can't follow is rapid-fire shenanigans).  So while Wm loves playing the Kinect, it often leads to fits of temper and evilness.  

Notice how Wm's legs are just a blur of motion

Wm is currently in hog heaven because we celebrated a belated Christmas with Great Papa today and he got presents!!  He has been building Legos all evening.  I even talked him into a hair cut (I only had to threaten taking him to Cookie Cutters and letting strangers do it one time!)  Steve's friend Mark also had a brilliant idea we will be putting into action ASAP.  He suggested we hang Wm's Lego Star Wars ships from his ceiling like they are flying.  This has the double bonus of getting some of his Legos off his floor and out of his bins and decorating his room fancy-like.  

Lastly, if anyone is interested in buying a retro school desk circa 1987, we are selling the one in Wm's room to give him more room to play - he never uses the thing.  I stuck it up on Craig's List for $20.  

Relive your glory days in this vintage fab desk.  Mullet and Poison tape not included.
