Sim City

Have you ever wondered what kind of zooming capabilities Sim City has on the iPad? If so, please enjoy the following instructional video. (And please ignore the conversation in the background... apparently I'm not fancy enough to edit it out.)
This was also another unsuccessful sales pitch to try to get me to put Sim City on my phone.

Angry Birds

The little guy loves Angry Birds. He tried teaching the baby how to play, but then got distracted and drew an angry bird on the iPad.

She thought it was pretty awesome.

Wii!

Eric and the little guy played with the Wii all morning. They bowled, played baseball, the little dude played tennis against himself (it was hilariously awful), and then they played more baseball. The baby had an empty wiimote cover that she happily swung around.

The only less than awesome part of this is that the little guy kept creeping up on the tv while swinging his arm around. I don't want to end up with a shattered flatscreen (it would be such an obsolete accident...).

More Snuggles

The little guy just climbed up on Eric's lap to play Sim City for a bit this evening.

How sweet!

Help Unwanted?

Poor Eric was really enjoying playing Sim City on the iPad. Then the little dude got involved and made some questionable choices. Apparently he's starting to get a lot better, but now the baby wants to play! She actually managed to get the game open on her own tonight.

I don't know how she can stand having that bandaid on her nose, but it makes her happy.

Another Snow Day!

Well, we had another snow day today. I'm kind of grateful, since the baby was sick yesterday it was nice for her to have a chance to recover. Here she is looking better (she looked REALLY bad yesterday):

The little dude is helping Eric play Sim City on the iPad (lucky Eric!). I don't really know what's going on, but I think the little guy may have made an unauthorized glass purchase or something. They're having all these big discussions about strategy. It's pretty cute.

I can't believe...

... that I'm about to say this, but I am SO proud of how the little guy is playing MarioKart. (I know, right?) He's just learning how to play and he's pretty terrible, but he's sticking with it and he isn't getting frustrated when he drives off the road and comes in last place.

I'm so proud! (Plus, he's getting better!)

Wii!

Today was another snow day, so we just holed up. The baby played with the bug jar and looked out the window this morning. She's such a climber. The little guy was never like that, but we can't keep her down. She loves climbing the stairs and standing up in this desk.

She's so serious in her firetruck pajamas.

The little guy and I built two snowmen today and sledded some more, but the most exciting thing was that we taught him how to play MarioKart! He's been trying to play a Star Wars Lego video game on the iPad, but he's not old enough and finds it really frustrating. I think the Wii will be a better choice. Look at how much fun he had!

I don't know why he's wearing his sister's hat.
