Costume last year: Scandalously (for me) short red dress, long
black cape, devil horns, shiny red heels, deep red lipstick. Carefully
applied red nail polish on both fingers and toes.
Costume this year: Flannel pajama bottoms and a sweatshirt. Baby urp-up
mostly, but it must be confessed, not entirely removed from sweatshirt.
Number of Incredibly Adorable Baby Pumpkins at home last year: 0
Number of Incredibly Adorable Baby Pumpkins at home this year: 1
Number of costumes for the under-three-month set in the house last year: 0
Number of costumes for the under-three-month set in the house this
year: 3 (two pumpkins, one pea-in-the-pod. Apparently my child inspires
produce-related Halloweening.)
Number of teen girls reduced to incoherent coos and squeals upon seeing me last year: 0
Number of teen girls reduced to incoherent coos and squeals upon seeing me this year:
At least 15 or 20. Hint to those wishing to elicit squealing attention
from teen girls - carry an Incredibly Adorable Baby Pumpkin. It worked
100% of the time.
What I did at 9:30 p.m. last Halloween night: Left the house to go to a party.

festivities. Took Advil in hopes of avoiding hangover. Went to bed.
What I did at 4:00 a.m. this Halloween: Nursed a Hungry Pumpkin. Drank glass of milk in hopes of avoiding hunger. Went to bed.

An incredibly adorable post.
By the way, is there something new about the aol weblogs that now require one to sign in to view the blogs? A couple weeks ago I started having to do this to view this blog.
Thank you! As for logging in, you definitely shouldn't have to do that. Maybe you have a bad cookie or something? I'd close the browser completely and restart it, and if that doesn't work, try deleting your cookies. Let me know if you still have the problem.
