you wii, we wii

this weekend we had some friends over for pizza and wii. madelyn was really excited to have kyle over to play and kyle did really well with all of madelyn's "come!" calls. they really played very well together and it looks like kyle is going to do just fine with a little sister in a few months (baby is due in april).

they had a lot of fun climbing up and down the stairs while their daddies were playing wii before dinner. the mommies, however, were not thrilled about the unsupervised trips - often made with an arm full of toys.

after dinner we all headed downstairs for some wii fun and the kids were really interested in getting in on the action - especially when we got out the wii fit board. they kept climbing on with their dads. madelyn climbed on and grabbed kyle by the hand so that he could stand up on it next to her. matt helped them lean to play the soccer game. it probably needed both of them for there to be enough weight because later we tried kyle by himself and the game kept saying that it could not "find" him. we finally gave up since he wasn't really playing anyway. it sounds like kyle is upset in the video, but he was really having fun. they were both really excited to be participating and 'danced' along when their dads hula-hooped and step danced.

it was a late night for the kiddos. i think we went up for cake around 8:30 or 9:00! then they got into their pjs and kyle got bundled up to head out to the car and a long drive home. madelyn had fun showing him how she could hide in the coat closet as we were saying our good-byes. kyle even got in to give it a try before he left.

it took maddie a little while to settle down in her room after lights out. she was just singing quietly to herself a little, very sweetly. i think that she got up around the normal time the next morning so that was nice. usually a late night means an earlier than normal morning.

love.
