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.
