Hugs Flame. 
Totally understand what you are saying. I wasn't trying to lecture about pixels, I hope it didn't come across that way. I know all of us here know the priority of in-game items vs. real life, I think I was just stating how I often have to step back myself.
As far as friend codes, when the kids get back from Grandma's house, we'll have to pm you their friend codes. Our son and his best friend live about 25 minutes apart and both home school, so they see each other at church on weekends and other planned events, but can't get together as often as they's like, They love linking up on the Wii to play Mario Kart. I love technology in that way. They are miles apart and yet are playing a video game together like they are in the same room! LOVE IT! Plus, King and I love to race too. Nothing like family game night playing Mario Kart. 
No, your post was fine with me, Wendy
I know about 'stepping back'. Had to do that a few nights ago. I take Hero, and we drive around looking for the rare TRON: Legacy toys at local toy stores (all of us are TRON fanatics!). LOL you don't want to even know how many toys we've landed from the new movie that are considered 'rare'. Sadly, the line has ended. There is talk about releasing some more toys around April when the Blu-ray/DVD hits stores...so maybe more action then. In the meantime, stores aren't getting any more new stock, and they're selling out of what they have. Sometimes we can hit almost 10 stores in a night. LOL. It's just the boys going out, some good old (safe) rock and roll playing loud, and some high-fives when we score a rare toy
LOL. And some horseplay mixed in there, too
It's alot of fun for us. Definitely a 'bonding experience'. Sometimes we talk instead of listening to music. Every time is different. I give him things to do, like finding a department rep to ask about the toys. I'll have him ask them questions...so I'm building his confidence in himself so that he knows how to talk to people and take charge of certain situations (like if a rep gives him a hard time). Although he's pretty well set now, and needs little to no coaching from me, anymore
He's an incredibly intelligent kid. Very talented. A good kid. And I'm totally biased, of course
LOL
Can't wait for the friends codes. The kids used to play against a couple other kids on the Wii, so they'll be happy to have a couple of new kids around their ages to have fun with remotely. It's a cool world with all this new technology! When we were kids, we had to do everything the 'hard way'.
Anywho, glad we talked. Racing time is always stressful for me. But the rewards sort of make up for it in the end, I guess
We will do our best. Because the best is all we can do
(hugs) again
