Short attention span?

We had our first D&D game!
It was short... real short (2 an 1/2 hours). But, the campaign has begun.
I had to dumb down the battles because there were only two adventures instead of the usual 4, and every other crossroad was met with the responce "I attack Mike... Mike roll for initiative".
Tom is a elven wizard with mind staggering dex, who never really used his spells (screw ray of frost when I can just use my quarterstaff); Mike is a human monk with really lousy HP.
They fought goblins, orcs, and each other. Never looted an nearby chest and couldn't care less about eq.
I had to babysit them through half of it and let them butcher the rest.... I've never had so much fun!




... Up till now I had always thought elves were known for their beauty... I guess theres unshaven pimply ones too
