Aaron has wanted Guitar Hero since playing a friend's several months ago. We told him to save his money...then his mama told him that we would pay half of it if he would agree it was for his birthday. Aaron has worked diligently this summer and has been super patient. I told him to watch the sales and find the best price. When I brought the Springfield News Leader home last Sunday, he spotted Guitar Hero at Kmart for $89. He drove us nuts all week about going to Springfield for the possibility of purchasing this prized game. Well, today was the day(it was the last day of the sale ad)! Kmart was the first stop we made this afternoon and he was filled with so much excitement, it just rippled throughout the car. He was more than anxious to get home and it nearly drove him insane when we visited other stores. A stop at Mickey D's for a quick supper, a final stop for that precious commodity of fuel and we hit the interstate. Of course, he kept asking 'how much longer' as if he'd NEVER made the trip from Springfield to Conway before! His excitement and anxiousness grew as each mile landed us closer to our front door.
After carrying all of our purchases in, Guitar Hero was quickly connected to the living room TV. Austin and Aaron have alternated turns and have had a relatively fun evening. Chris even got caught up in the 'rock star' aspect!! Those guys have been jammin' for hours. Hmmm...I wonder if this mama will get ANY sleep tonight. Well, at least the songs are good ones!!!
