My boys decided to go in together with their Target gift cards on a Wii. Problem is, no Target has them, pretty much no one has them. I spent a lot of time yesterday researching/searching/calling looking for one. Late in the night, I found a nifty “back door” to check Wal Mart in-store inventory online. I drove over to a store that showed in stock but they were out - the inventory is only updated once a day in the early hours of the morning, so that info was pretty old by then. This morning I looked at it again and a store about 30 minutes away showed in stock. I called. They said they had them. So 2 of the boys and I hopped in the car to try it. Amazingly enough, we got one. Now this means I had to buy some Target gift cards but I can be finished Wii-hunting. We also picked up an extra set of controllers and a game at Target.

I haven’t had a chance to play yet on this one. I might like to get Guitar Hero because I enjoyed it at my brother’s house at Thanksgiving. I read that Wii bowling is pretty popular at assisted-living centers and I think that is way cool! Wouldn’t it be fun to go to a nursing home and play Wii with some of the residents?

My 4 year old was FINALLY able to get a Nintendo DS lite today, too. The handheld games are really good while he’s wearing his eye patch for amblyopia. I would like to get the Brain Age game and borrow his DS to play it. lol.

I am looking forward to sleeping without dreaming of where to find a Wii tonight!
