Super Mario Brothers

Since spring is taking it's sweet-ass time getting here, we've still been trapped in the basement trying to entertain ourselves. While Simon is still pretty happy with his Geo Trax, Harmon was looking for something new and different to occupy his time so Kevin introduced him to Super Mario Brothers on the Wii. This has been a questionable decision on our part as he just can't get enough! In his defense, it's in his genes - we spent way too much time playing Atari!
 
He actually picked it up really fast and is pretty good at it. He also can be a bit competitive at times, especially when he's playing with me! I got him a Super Mario Brothers t-shirt that he wants to wear every day and he and Simon (Simon digs the music and "thinks" he's playing when he holds ANY controller) have a few of the action figures. Harmon rolls with Luigi and Yoshi while Simon rocks Mario and Toad. Donkey Kong remains unclaimed.
 
Donkey Kong's status may be on the rise, though, because last night (April 17), we picked up Mario Kart for the Wii. It's part of Kevin's Easter present and away we go.
