Halloween is big around our house.......

Yes, many full moons ago on this very day, Mrs. Lime was born. She says that it made for great birthday parties because all of her friends would get dressed up and they'd go trick-or-treating in the neighborhood before coming back to the house to eat birthday cake and open presents. Sounds like a good gig to me.

As long as everything goes well, this will also be the last birthday she has without a child in our family. By this time next year, we'll be dressing up our baby in some stupid pumpkin outfit or MU cheerleader outfit that doesn't even fit her small body. But it won't matter. Stupid baby pictures are perfect blackmail for when that kid gets to high school or college. I'm sure that Mrs. Lime and I will have plenty of those via our digital camera and video recorder. For that matter, I'm not sure that much of this blog will actually be about myself or Mrs. Lime once that baby comes along.

So, hopefully Mrs. Lime has a wonderful birthday. We've got loads of candy ready for the new neighbors and their kids. Hopefully, they show up in droves or else Mrs. Lime and I will have to find ways to give away a lot of perfectly good candy. I have a feeling we'll do just fine.

Last year in Baltimore, we actually gave it all away too soon and had to close shop for 10-15 minutes until we scrounged up some other stuff to give to the kids. I'm thankful that we actually found more stuff or there might have been riots in the streets.
