We are trying to save money lately - you know, due to the "economy" or whatever good excuse the media has given us for our lack of cash flow.

This new found love of money-saving has forced some of our "wants" as a couple to be pushed aside in order to pay for more important things, really important things...like Abby's new-found love of cheer -leading classes, or my forever love of well-carbonated soda and Key Lime Pie.

Blair, being the nice sacrificial father/husband he is, has been reduced to wearing underwear with vampire like slashes through the buttocks, and digging deep into his closet to find appropriate church attire.

If you call this appropriate...

Over the past few weeks Blair has mentioned that he still has some old "mission" suits he's "sure" will still fit, as long as they're "taken out just a little bit."

I guess he forgot how old he was then.

You see, this has been an important discussion because Blair has worn his more recently purchased suit (as in like six years ago) with a hole in the crotch to church a significant number of times. Thankfully other tears began appearing in the seams, so the suit was deemed out of commission, and tonight's fashion show ensued.

And a mighty fine fashion show it was.

OH... how Abby and I laughed, and took pictures (she with her Fisher Price camera), and laughed some more.

At the conclusion of the show, Blair mentioned to me that he "thinks the pants will work."

Abby looked up with a rather disgusted look and said, "Umm yea, they'll work if you call not buttoning them up working."

Poor guy. I think a new suit just might be in order...at least one from Ross.
