Aerin the keen observer of humanity

At the mall last week, Aerin saw a white guy dressed like a gansta. She asked Tracy, "Mom, is that a wannabe?"

Birthday Picture

We forgot the camera, but have the one picture taken at Build A Bear Workshop. Also, we have some pictures on Tracy's phone, but are having trouble downloading those.

So, here you go:

Birthday!

For her ninth birthday, Aerin and 8 friends had a Build-A-Bear party. Aerin's new High School Musical bear, Bella, has a heart from each of the girls, plus a heart from Aerin.

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:
