No Mercy For Emma

We have been enjoying the Wii. Since Aerin is recovering from mono, she's had lots of time to practice, too.

In order to even out the competition a bit I made my Mii left handed. Even though I am left handed I have always done sports right handed. As Aerin has improved, however, in self-defense I created my right-handed alter ego: macho Dirk Slaughter. In response, Aerin created sweet, freckle-faced Emma.

When Tracy and I got home yesterday from our shopping date, Aerin's Emma had a star covered ball. That means she's a pro bowler with a greater than 200 average. No mercy will be shown to sweet Emma.

Birthday Hat

Aerin made a birthday hat out of K'nex. Why? I don't know.

Wii, Mii, and Miss Goth

My children got a Wii for my birthday.

Aerin eagerly anticipated creating her very own Mii, which she calls Miss Goth. Then she created an entire goth family, including Wednesday (patterned after Wednesday Addams).

This morning she said she was going to create Monday and Tuesday to keep Wednesday company.

Aerin and Otis

Otis will require lots of therapy to recover from Aerin's love:

Nightmare?

Aerin recently watched Atlantis: Milo's Return and said, "It almost gave me a nightmare?"

I asked, "How do you almost have a nightmare?"

She said, "You don't have one!"

The Danger Of Living With Geeks

At the hockey game, Aerin saw a person of small stature, and said, "I think he's one of those ... You know, gnomes."

Sharks Game

Aerin, Jeff, Shannon, and I went to a sharks game yesterday. The Sharks won in overtime, and a great time was had by all. Aerin focused on the food. Mostly.
