A Wii timeout

OK back on Valentines day Naomi got a Wii for the whole family, yes we have been wanting one for a long time, but they always seem to be sold out. The system came with Wii sports and this game is very  fun and easy for the whole family. I must say that Christopher must have inherited the Swisher bowling gene as he averages above 160 and his best game is a 204. Even Naomi enjoys playing and since we purchased it we have acquired a total of 4 controllers and 4 games. I got the Wii Play game after getting 2 more additional controllers and almost took it back but Naomi is very good at the games on this one I think it comes from having steady hands ... Dr.... 

Since we purchased it we have all had a lot of fun.... but then something extraordinary happened, bedtime started getting later and later for the boys and for us. Sunday night the boys got to bed after 10pm and we didn't make it to bed till nearly 3am. The next morning the boys missed the bus and were late to school. So the Wii and all other video games and a few other select luxuries (TV for 1) have all been sent to time out so we can all get back on track. 

About every other word out of the boys mouth is I want to play Wii. Example I would say boys its time to get ready for bed and they would reply, but we want to play wii. They wake up and the first thing out of their mouth is can we play Wii, even though the bus will be here in about 30 min. I to have seemed to find extra time to play Wii and as a result let things lax around the house here and there.

So far we are on day two of our Wii timeout and it seems to be working well. Usually its a battle to get the boys to sleep at night but last night they both got ready and went to bed at the right time and Christopher was asleep 10min later. Jon was quite when he is usually up talking till after 10pm. Christopher was up bright and early this morning at 6am so progress is being made.

Been a while

So it's been some time but I will try to post more often.

So a quick update:
Naomi is getting along quite well at the clinic, and now even has a few conferences under her belt. (One of which was in Orlando :P) We recently purchased a silver 4 door Honda from Tim Wells sister and brother-in-law. Now she doesn't have a rustbucket to drive to work... She has got to do quite a bit of birds as of late and the clinic actually has a resident bird named margo which knows a few phrases and words.

Christopher is doing well in school, this quarter his teacher said a conference was not required. So his behavior has greatly improved. He is playing basketball in an instructional league at the church and likes it a lot. He likes the pg position, has some tricky passes, and prefers not to shoot. 

Jonathan is also doing well in school and seems to be very outgoing in public, more so than he used to be. We went to the hair salon last week and he went with the stylist all by himself and told her he wanted a kings crown stlye hair cut and that he was a wild guy. Later while we were waiting in the lobby for Naomi to finish her hair cut a couple of ladies walked in and sat down. Jonathan went over and introduced himself and let them know that he was king Jonathan and his hair cut was a crown.

I to am doing well, no work but I keep busy round the house. I haven't heard back yet from Marshall but I will start looking again at some other options and knocking on doors and sending out resumes etc. I have become more practiced at guitar hero and can play many songs on hard or expert. I have also found a nack for playing songs on my cell phone which I started a word doc with the keypad translated as notes. 

FYI list of songs I can play on my cell phone

Jesus Loves Me, Mary had a little lamb, Row Row Row your Boat, London Bridges, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Silent Night, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Star Spangled Banner, Up on the House Top.

And some say I have to much time on my hands. 

Well that's it for now and more to come soon.
