Just one more year added on........

October 31st is here again. Halloween for some, but in our family, it takes on a much greater focus. It's Mrs. Lime's birthday! Yes, Mrs. Lime is 29 years old again (for the 4th straight year). We're excited to have a nice quiet evening and pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters that wander by our house.

Kali 0.8 hasn't quite figured out that she's supposed to be scared of all of the Halloween decorations in our home. She laughs at the headless man screaming over the loss of his body. She giggles at the near-death butler, who's heavy breathing sends other children running in fear. She watches the spider that hangs above the doorway, fully knowing that it will drop at any second on its web to scare most others. Yes, we're obviously raising a child with a warped vision of Halloween. When she grows up, she'll be the leader of the group, dragging everyone else through the haunted houses. She'll tell them "there's nothing to be scared of" while the other children hide behind her. What do you expect from the child of a person born on Halloween?!?!?!
