Apparently you can keep track of your activity with it. It even comes with a pedometer that makes it easy to transport data to the game. I’m not sure if you can keep track of food intake or diet pills supplements with it as I have yet to play it. But it could be a cool portable companion to help keep track of physical activity.

There is also a Yoga game for the DS that could be interesting. It’s just hard to imagine trying to decipher Yoga poses on a 3 inch screen. Still it’s nice to see more fitness-minded games coming on the market for just all platforms.

After reading about Swaptree.com, I might try trading them there for some games I really want. Swaptree.com is a place where people can swap DVDs, books, and video games. Make your want list and then make your have list. Swaptree will then cross-reference the two to see if you have anything that someone has on their list.

I’m still not too sure about it. I had tried some other swap meet website and was disappointed. If I don’t do the swaps, then I’ll just sell on eBay and buy used games.

Profitville is a match 3 game and won’t require you to have a lot of knowledge real estate markets like Wilmington real estate. You will need to run out of town the big bully mega mart out of town to restore how the town used to be.

If you want to stand up for the little guy and are a fan of match 3 games, then check out Profitville.

They are the perfect size to write the content of storage boxes. This is handy when we are storing old video games and then have the urge to play. It makes it easy to find the right box at a glance if they are labeled properly.

They are also good to label bookshelves, baskets, and any where else you might be storing stuff. It makes me feel a lot better when things are in their proper place and with labels it is clear where that proper place is for our stuff.

And most likely I will pass on the casual game, too. I’m sure if I can’t stand to watch the show then I’m sure I wouldn’t much care for the casual game.

Still, for those who like the show or are fans of these type of mini-game casual games, then this might be fun for you. But with a demo download of 77 MB at Big Fish Games, it’s not for me on my Fair Use satellite Internet.

I have to admit that as a new parent I’m intrigued by all of it and want to experience it. It’ll be nice to the kid, too. I guess. If she even gets anything out of places like this. But I do feel that some of these are definitely catering more to adults than to kids. It seems to be working as they are still in business.

Hopefully they will bring around when Rae is actually old enough to enjoy their services. Maybe the novelty will last for at least that long.

I really need some workout shoes as mine has holes in them. Ecco shoes has one pair of athletic shoes but they do look comfortable. I would love to find a pair of shoes like the ones I already have that are falling apart. They really are comfortable.

Besides shoes, I really need some workout clothing. Maybe if I dress the part then I will want to workout longer. You know, like some sort of mind game I can play on myself.

Maybe I won’t have to wait my longer for Wii Fit. I’m ready to play now.

My most recent casual game download to try is Dairy Dash. I was very excited since it is a spinoff of Diner Dash. I enjoyed Wedding Dash and have noticed that Wedding Dash 2 is now out. That will be my next download. Dairy Dash was OK. It’s not as fast pace as the diner. Maybe the levels increase the complexity but the first few rounds were lackluster to me. It will be hard to get motivated to play it again.

I have two Big Fish game credits, so I need to find something. I just hate having those sit in my account. Maybe I’ll at least spend one on some more weekend fun.

BuyCostumes.com has some incredible kids costumes like Uniqua from the Backyardigans. The Backyardigans are very popular with our 2 year old. It’d be fun for us all to dress up as our favorite Backyardigan for Halloween. This Halloween should be a lot of fun since she will be three and into it a lot more. So it does seem the perfect time to dress up as a family for this special Halloween.

Buy Costumes has many great kids Halloween costumes and adult costumes. They have an impressive selection of costumes that would be perfect to wear to a Renaissance Festival. I definitely want to dress up when we go to the Louisiana Ren Fest and with the good prices at Buy Costumes, it seems it would be easiest to buy what I want instead of having it made. I’m thinking of going as a wench, so there are plenty of costumes that would be perfect. With women, men and kids medieval costumes, I can find something for everyone. How fun that is going to be!

Yes, some kids definitely go through a stage where they love to dress up. However, there are some kids who never grow out of it. Here’s hoping I never get too old to play dress up.

I have decided to switch gears a little bit. I will still post about games from time to time but will concentrate on kids stuff like crafts, educational toys, etc. It’s already a topic I know something about and currently interested in.

This week look for posts on:
online coloring pages
Make your own play dough
Stuff your own animal

Summer is just beginning, so I hope to bring lots of good ideas to keep those kiddos entertained. Casual games will still be discussed but Romperz definitely needs some new life breathed into it. I think a change will be good.
