The Cruise!

When asked what was her favorite part of the cruise to Mexico, Aerin replied "The shopping!"

Fashion Expert

One day Tracy had tucked in her shirt. Aerin said, "Mom, don't tuck in your shirt. It makes you look like a dork!"

Shaving(?) Accident

Aerin came out of the bathroom one day last week with a bit of toilet paper stuck to her chin. She said that she had seen me do that when I cut myself shaving, and she had a boo-boo on her face.

Aunt Marge

Tracy's Aunt Marge never had to do dinner dishes. She always disappeared into the bathroom right after the meal, and didn't reappear until after the dishes were safely disposed of. Her "skill" had passed to Dallin, and now has passed to Aerin.

Aerin's cover was blown, however. We could hear her chortling as she read Garfield long after she was "done". Now she has a time limit.

Sharks game

Aerin went to her first Sharks game tonight. Actually, her first hockey game. What an exciting game! Bummer we lost in overtime.

During the second period, I felt a nudge on my shoulder. Sharkie, the mascot, sat down right next to Aerin, but she wouldn't pay him any attention. Finally, I grabbed her hand and made her give him a high five.

And Still More Monopoly

Today Aerin was beating me badly at Monopoly. She said, "At least you still have your dignity."

Another Cartoon

Aerin's sharp eye and sharper imagination continue to poke fun at her image of married life. This week features Shannon, with hair died purple and wearing a fez, terrorizing Jeff.
