OMG...I know I'm being the evil mean mom. But it's been a long day.

Christian, YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE A POSTER TO KEEP CATS OUT OF YOUR ROOM. We have no cats. No cats have come in the house. And even if they did, they wouldn't read your poster. And even if they could read it, they wouldn't care. THEY'RE CATS.

Okay, I got that off my chest.

Today is Chris's 41st birthday. Money is tight. I wanted to go out to dinner, but that wasn't a good idea. Therefore, we grabbed some "Hot n Ready" pizzas from Little Caesars, made a cake and we presented Chris with this funny T-shirt:

And thanks to the Kohls clearance rack and a "save $10 on $30 purchase" coupon, I helped dress him with some classy tops.

Mikelle had an enjoyable birthday 12 days ago:

And it's clear we're celebrating a "Summer in Hell" birthday, just based on AleXander not needing clothes (as pictured with his goofball sister). And by the way, I had NOTHING to do with the cake. Christian and Mikelle insisted on making it themselves. If you think that one is um, interesting, you should have seen the one they made for their dad today. Hence the first picture on this blog entry.
