To Wii, or Not to Wii

B got a substantial gift card to Toys R Us for his birthday and I'm debating whether we should use it for a few toys or to pay for half the cost of a Wii.  I'd like a Wii but I don't know if Joe is on board with this idea yet.  But for real, do we need more plastic toys filling up our house?  A Wii sits nicely tucked away by the TV and there's no clean-up at the end of the day (Hello, HotWheels, GeoTrax, Thomas tracks, Legos ... I'm referring to you).  And I think B is getting to an age where he could start playing a few entry level games.

But let's be honest, I really want one, too.

Honest to God, last time Pat and I went to Vegas-SOOOOOOOOOO LONG AGO-we saved up our winning, and we waited in line for one-AMAZING, life chaning, my 80 year old grandpa bowls, my 5 year old son won't SHUT UP about Mario-just don't buy Mario-he may not like it now, but for the LOVE OF MONKEYS! Your parents will like it!

We finally bought a Wii a few months ago. It's pretty fun. We haven't been able to use it much lately, as so much has been going on, but I figure when Kathryn is a little bit older it will have been a good investment.
