In our living room.
On the Xbox, the new sister-wife we welcomed into our family in an intimate ceremony involving our debit card and a rather crowded Microsoft Store.
Xbox is fitting in well, and has already helped facilitate family time today. She seems to be a real gem.
But the river rafting. Like I said, it was on the Xbox, and it's pretty simple. Like any river rafting experience, you're on a raft, and you have to get as many tokens as you can by leaning around the raft and jumping. Totally normal, done it a thousand times in real life. But doing it with a three year old is an etirely new experience. Those are times that I realize just how competitive I am. She was irritating the bejeezus out of me because she didn't understand the leaning and shuffling side-to-side. The fact that she is three and never had done it before escaped me as all the little tokens kept going by, unclaimed by us. I did manage to get a hold of myself and calmed down so I wouldn't be such a nut about it.
It does seem pretty fun, and the Hoosband is enjoying his Christmabirthday present quite a bit. I just need to get that other kid off my raft so I can get those precious tokens.

OMG! You. Are. Back! I had stopped checking because it made me sad when there weren't any updates, but now there are! I'm so happy! Also, congrats on the new sister-wife. Had I known I would have sent a card. Or perhaps a gift certificate to a Sharis or Shooneys (trying to think of the saddest place a family of sister-wives would eat on their honeymoon). I'm glad you're writing again, you totally crack me up HB!
Love/nice hair cut,
April
