We will no longer be able to shake it, shake it like a Polaroid picture?

Of course, he's too lazy and is happy with WOW on the computer. So the xBox sits, in the same spot as when it "died" about 3 months ago. Iunno which is worse, tho.

Wii QUESTION ~ All you Wii fans, can you give me some hints. First, is it even to late to get one for Christmas? And second, what should we look for in "bundles" if it's not too late? It'll mainly be our 9 & 6 year old girls who use it (well, and Mama wants one of the fitness games).

they're easier to get now and you're going to need to get the Wii Fit board to take advantage of the fitness stuff. As far as games for little girls, there's a ton of them, but the safest choices are anything with Mario in them. Super Mario Galaxy will keep them busy for days/months and so will Paper Mario.

The disney princess game is great! It is easy for little kids, they use the controllers as wands and wave them to turn trolls into butterflies. I enjoy it too! I think a Dora game just came out that looks very similar.

I have to admit, I lost my sanity long ago. I am scared though, not enough things to do in a day to keep the little angels busy.

good, hopefully they turn off the flashing lights in front of Luna and whatever that other school is. Those things are SO annoying when they are on at 2:15, which is when I drive through them. I don't understand why they start so far in advance to the school actually letting out. Are they even on when the kids actually get out of school?

I haven't seen it in person, but I was told about it today. I don't think I even want to see it. I'm talking about the latest Barbie. Has anyone seen it? She comes with her own dog...leash and pooper scooper...and yes, apparently, if you push down on the pups tail it does it's thing! Please....someone tell me that this is a joke on me...and Mattel hasn't literally sunk to the sewer level for inspiration. I thought the preggo Barbie was bad about 10 years ago! She came with a dummy tummy that you remove after junior was born! OMG....we are scarring our children.

Sorry if anyone has this doll under the tree....but this has to be one of all time lows in childrens toys!
