Dodgeball Anyone?

We broke down and bought an Xbox with Kinect. Our Princess has been asking for something, anything like her friend has. I've been researching since last fall and had originally planned to get it for Christmas, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. Call it guilt for giving into the computer gaming wasteland. But, all the games we have use the Kinect, which is a full-body controller system. No handheld devices necessary, which limits the amount of flying objects at the TV (cat notwithstanding...poor kitty...not mine, but poor kitty...). We've had a lot of fun using it as a way to burn energy on days like today, when it is too wet and cold to go out. I much prefer this to her DS, which, as far as I'm concerned, could get lost in the bowels of her room forever. And the rule is it has to be miserable weather or the weekend to play, just like the TV. We'll see how long that lasts. Well, as school work doesn't get done by itself, we'd better get to it!
