Andrew and I played Splatoon a couple of times today. I downloaded it the other night as it was on sale on the eshop for about $40. It was a good discount and I knew that they would like it because it is a game that Andrew plays every time that we go into Target. When the kids and I got home we all played the game and I was amazed at how quickly the kids picked it up. Eva played for the first time and kicked all our butts three times in a row. She loves to trash talk, too. Not that she really knows much trash talk except for “Oh Yeah!”. We had a nice time playing until Andrew went a little too wild and he rolled over on the Wii U gamepad. I had to put a stop to it and turn off the game. He’s got to chill out and not break something that we enjoy playing as a family.

I took the kids to Friendly’s tonight and when our meal was over there was a Balloon Artist. The Balloon Artist made some nice balloon lightsabers for the kids. They both wanted the same thing. Then they made some epic poses. I got a little of them goofing around with their lightsabers after they got them. They are so silly.
