I try not to let them do it too long or very often and it's always after their work is done...Lego Star Wars that is. It's definitely one of the "cooler" activities they've enjoyed doing this summer.
The game was the catalyst for my girls falling in love with Star Wars the movie. I'm not sure how I feel about it, them being so young and loving Star Wars, but at least if anything it's a classic. I have to admit I can't help but laugh each time Megan quotes Han, "Laugh it up fuzzy ball." It never gets old.

The Logo games are the best! :)
I know my kids like the Lego game at Jill's house too. I would have thought you were in the clear for gaming systems too. I guess none of us really are..... (I am still pretending it will never happen....)
that's one of our favorite games. we've just gotten the Raiders of the Lost Arc Lego game. i'll admit, i still love the original Star Wars best, though!
We have the PS2 Star Wars game and Austin loves it. It cracks me up how obsessed your girls are with Star Wars. It's so cute.
How crazy! Did they get it from their Dad???
At least it's a classic!
I have a love/hate relationship with our gaming system. I think it could be great for the kids...if only they could get some balance! But seriously, the best thing that we've done so far is to make the kids earn their video game minutes (Kinda like an allowance) They really want to play their video games, so they clean their room and pick up after themselves, then they get, like, 30 minutes or something (per task) to play. They've actually been playing a lot less, and things are getting done! (and if they don't feel like doing a chore, they decide not to play games and go outside! Yay!)
You probably don't have that problem (w/ your kids wanting to play all the time,) but if they ever do get addicted, then that's a good system...
sorry for the really long comment:(
amanda we actually do how ever many minutes they read, do art, or something related they can play the video came for that long. It works great for us.
I would love to hear Megan quoting Han Solo!!
