Wii Night With Andy and Rondi ...

Andy and the Wii

Photo-A-Day #653 01/21/07

Today Allison and I went to Mass this morning and then over to see Andy and Rondi. They have a Nintendo Wii. Actually they have one because I gave them the one I got at Target last week. You know nothing of this? Well that is because I kept it quiet because it was for Andy’s birthday. On Wednesday I had a Doctor’s appointment and then went up to the Camera Company to get my camera fixed and on the way back I stopped into Target to see if they had any Wii’s in stock. 

I walked in and the usually un-stocked shelf was stocked with Nintendo Wii’s. So I bought one. Then I went outside and called Allison and asked her if she knew if Rondi was still looking for a Wii for Andy for his birthday. She was, so I went back in and attempted to by a second Wii. I was told that they had a limit of only one per household. And so I called Allison back and by the time she was out of work all of the Wii’s were gone. That is okay because I gave Allison the Wii I got and had her give it to Rondi so Andy could have it for his birthday when he returned from his trip.

We had a good time playing with the Wii and we played all the games for the sports part. Rondi dominated in Baseball. Allison and I played the boxing game, Then Rondi and Allison played. We all played bowling and I actually got 100 points, (For some reason I screw up bowling every time). We also played a game where you didn’t use the wiimotes with the sensor. It was a mindless shoot ’em up side scroller. It was fun. Allison made some buffalo Chicken dip and brought it over. Very tasty stuff.

Then we headed home and Andy and Rondi came over to watch the game. Our beloved Patriots did not win. But it was nice having a full house over to watch the game. Jenn came over as well, plus Tara and Erik and Mom and Dad. We took Andy and Rondi and Jenn for a tour of the upstairs so they could see how things were progressing. They liked what they saw.

And don’t worry or think I am crazy for giving up the Wii. We will be buying one once it becomes available through Amazon.com. That way we can save some money and get money back because of the Amazon affiliates program.

Here is a picture of Stephen the Dog, he has a blog.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
