Where's my DS?

"Where's my DS?" has become the most commonly asked question in our house these days with "I'm hungry. Is it snack time yet?" running a close second. Brenna has mastered the My Little Pony game and the music from this game is burned into my brain. So much so that when I was up one night with Austin this week, that was all that was going through my head. I also find myself humming the tunes while I'm at work. I think I need some serious therapy or perhaps an exorcism. I really shouldn't mock the My Little Pony game. It has made the drive to and from school more enjoyable. Brenna does a lot less back seat driving and there are fewer complaints that she is "dead thirsty" or "dead hungry".
For those of you who might be concerned that she is going to spend too much time playing video games, don't worry. There is still a healthy does of other activities that don't involve electronics. These activity cards from Usborne Books have been a big hit and often travel to and from school with us as well as help keep her busy mind occupied at home. Too bad there's only 100 activities. I might be able to get more blogs posted if there were say 1 million!

I hear those words too. The DS does provide some education too. It's not all fun & games. Believe it or not they do learn different things with each different game. Glad she is enjoying it.

Lots of love, hugs, & kisses,
