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).

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!"

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.

Halloween Story

An older couple in the neighborhood (the ones with the two yippy dogs) had a great haunted house on their front porch this year. Aerin went in and got her candy, but a 4 year old boy was afraid to go in. When she came back out she put her arm around the boy and asked him if he wanted to go in with her, which he did. His dad was very appreciative.
