The rest of the neighborhood is great for trick or treating though, and luckily we still get lots of kids who are willing to walk down to get to our house. <br /><br />All that rushing around to prepare reminds me of myself this year! I've never been so busy with other stuff in my life, and it is seriously cutting into my Halloween time!Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369930481493283849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-28812830117253512812009-10-29T19:17:14.566-04:002009-10-29T19:17:14.566-04:00Just a fun poem, it's not autobiographical at ...Just a fun poem, it's not autobiographical at all!<br /><br />: )Rothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329750481399948095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-27679162268011334762009-10-29T19:00:30.885-04:002009-10-29T19:00:30.885-04:00Nice!
