Wii Shopping Channel

When I hooked up the Wii the other day I also set it up to connect to the Internet so that I could download some classic games for Allison. This past Christmas I gave her a Wii points card so she could get her favorite game: Super Mario Brothers. Well I finally got to use the Wii points card and we downloaded Super Mario Brothers as well as Sonic the Hedgehog. So we have some old school fun games to play along with the new games like Monster 4X4 World Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Wario Smooth Moves, and Wii Play.

Connecting with the Wii was a very simple procedure and so was loading the points card onto the shopping channel. I also signed up online with Nintendo and was able to link that account to my Wii account and got 3 issues of Nintendo Power magazine coming my way. I still have all my classic Nintendo Power magazines too.

You had to have cats….

This is a line my wife likes to give me each and every time the cats end up getting on her nerves. Well I get to tell her that tonight when she gets home from knitting class. Our little fuzzy angels got into our bedroom (the are not allowed int he new bedroom and usually we remember to lock them out) and knocked over the vase of flowers that I gave Allison for Valentine’s day. I was working on a post and I heard a big, loud THUMP! and I ran to the front of the house to discover the door to our bed room was open. Our cats are very adept at opening these doors in a tag team cooperative attack on the doorknob and the bottom of the door.

Oliver will climb up onto the couch and start pulling at the door with both paws. Duncan will reach one paw under the door and start yanking it toward him. They can usually get the door popped in about 15 seconds. That is unless we lock the door with a sliding bolt. Then they cannot get through, but it doesn’t stop them from trying. But they are cute.
