Crazy for Angry Birds

When we travel we rely on a lot of technology to keep our kids entertained so they don’t drive other people on the plane in to absolute madness. Portable DVD players, ipods, ipads, Leapsters these all help keep children busy and Mummy and Daddy from drinking to many bottles of mini wine.

This summer my sister introduced Angry Birds to my kids. Her and I laughed about her Angry Bird Addiction and I started playing it a little bit, but when the boys got a hold of that game it became a full blown obsession!

To say they love Angry Birds is an understatement! They play the game on the iPad, they pretend to be Angry Birds, they have Angry Bird toys that they throw at each other! They have made up names for the birds based on the sound they make and what is worse is that I use the names too!

They wake up in the morning and it is the first thing they ask for and I am pretty sure that if the battery life of my iPad would last long enough they would play it all day! My children need an Angry Bird Intervention!!  Although that probably won’t happen anytime soon, because of their obsession I have been sucked in too!

I find myself at the playground, or waiting to pick them up from school trying to pass levels for them. The sad thing is that they are way better then I am at that game. I guess we will just have to battle the addiction together.
