026: No fighting on my birthday!!!!

So my kids have been up for just under an hour (we have one extra with us today, Christian) and they have already started fighting. In this case, Ellie doesn't want to go swimming with Frankie and Christian, so she's out back yelling at them and trying to bully them into doing whatever it is that she wants to do. Frankie (although she would UNDOUBTEDLY claim that is was a complete accident) sprayed Ellie with the hose.

I don't want any fighting today... But you can't always get what you want....

Today is my 33rd birthday... I have grey hair on the sides of my head... I'm at least 50 pounds over-weight... But HEY! I got the DVD for Jack Black's "School of Rock" and a cool Gameboy game called "Fire Emblem." (Keenan and Carson, my cousin's who are 9 and 11, tell me that what I have is actually the SECOND "Fire Emblem" game, but I thought I had the first. This information was corroberated by Christian, who is 13... I'm too old to keep up with video games, I guess, but I still like to play...) OH, and I got a box of Whoppers, too... Rock! (I can't wait to get back to school though... Working and I just don't get along... And I have to work TONIGHT even! Ucky...) Ummm hmmm... 

Here is the cake that Mariah and the girls made for me. It looks hardcore (PUNK!!!!) and tasted awesome! Vanilla cake, vanilla frosting, blue sprinkles, and vanilla ice-cream... MMMMMmmmm...... 

This is a close-up of the center of the cake. Mariah says it's supposed to be a heart, but it looks a bit more like some kind of pagan symbol... Either way, I'm cool with it... 

Frankie drew this picture for me a few days ago. I particularly like the creative spelling!!!
