Our House

Aerin: I like our house.
Mom: What do you like about it?
Aerin: It's very Marr-y!

Chuck E Cheese Dogpile

Tonight, Aerin and I had a Daddy/Daughter date at Chuck E Cheese's. Aerin said that if the rat got close to her, she would punch him out. Chuck made his appearance, and a worker started tossing tickets from the second story. Soon there was a mass of wriggling, grasping children at Chuck E's feet. But where was Aerin? Yup, at the bottom of the pile.

[We used to fear that our older children might get roughed up in such a situation, but with Aerin we fear the opposite.]

I have failed

While in Utah, Aerin insisted that she and Mom only listen to Country music on the car radio. Well, at least Gpa Beagley and Dallin will be happy.

First Day Of School!

Aerin looks ready to take on third grade:

Aerin's teacher is Mrs. Barth, who was Shannon's 5th grade teacher.

Risk

While Aerin was in Utah vistiting the Calls she learned a "new" game: Risk! Yesterday she beat me horribly.

Guess what I did?

Aerin: Dad, guess what I did!
Dad: What?
Aerin: I called Mom 'woman' and lived!

New Game

Aerin and I have been playing Clue-opoly on Sunday afternoons. It's just like Clue but with Monopoly pieces for the suspects. Actually, that's because we lost the suspect pieces.

Donuts!

Aerin: Where's Grandpa?
Tracy: He went to get donuts.
Aerin: Donuts!? That's why I keep him around!

[This could apply to both grandpas, but in this case it was Grandpa Marr. - ed.]
