Wii are having so much fun!

Jared has been aching for the Nintendo Wii for quite some time. I considered getting him one at Christmas only to discover they sold out in about a nano-second. So I figured by his birthday they would most certainly be back on shelves. HA! Delusional thought that was. And then Valentine's came and went and still no Wii had arrived at our house. I think poor Jared had just about given up hope. Well we were on a random trip to Target and he happened to ask if they had any or were getting any. Well the 12 year old who worked there got all excited and said they were getting a hundred and selling them for $100. I found this highly unlikely. So as fate would have it we were back to Target just a couple days later and he checked with another employee who confirmed that the Wii was coming but hadn't heard about any special pricing. So Jared gets up early on the appointed day and gets to Target about a quarter to 8:00am. He's like the 40th person in line! But he got his Wii and for all those dedicated shoppers who stood in line they got 25% off their purchase. Of course it didn't actually save us any money, Jared just stocked up on extra controllers and games. But he didn't actually spend more than the original price so I can't complain. We all had a great time creating our Miis and I think Jared gets the prize for best resemblance. He is however quite annoyed that I've beaten him at golf, boxing and most recently target shooting.

Sweet! I'm so jealous! We've been trying to get our hands on a Wii here and have had no luck for over a year! We tried going out to get one from a Japanese store (since they are everywhere in the local stores), and found out Japanese was the only language setting! It was such a bummer! Glad to hear you guys are having fun with yours!
