He's about two weeks younger.

See, this is why I need a list.

ION, I have a Halloween costume for Ellie, but I'm not sure there's any point in getting her dressed in it. There's only *one* family with kids where we live. I doubt we will even get any trick-or-treaters.

Aimee, those pictures are adorable. Pumpkins! Babies! Aminals!

Maria, I seriously hope they catch the fucker. Grr.

Okay, make suggestions! I want to cook a nice vegetarian picnic lunch for GF and me to eat in the nearest sukkah tomorrow (Jewish holiday thing, for those unaware, like me until about a week ago). Mostly want to make things in advance, so things that are served cold or easy to reheat preferable.

Mushrooms and cheese are excellent ingredients to be used, as both she and I love both.

ETA:

Things I'm considering right now include fried okra (cuz I have okra, so why not?) and mushroom soup. Maybe homemade pasta salad of some form. Ooh, grilled portabello and fresh mozzarella pita wraps could be good. But give me suggestions! What do you think is delicious that is vegetarian and I probably won't screw up too badly?

Hey Plei, what size is Lily wearing these days?

Also, I hate to say it, but I think the poops start smelling like poop based on the development of their digestive tracts. It's not just a matter of what they eat, although there is a disturbing resemblance between what goes in and what comes out.

Who needs a Princess Pumpkin when you've got a Pumpkin Princess already?

It's not about need. It's about me being in Target and saying: WANT.

My pirate pumpkin often expresses to my DH the same opinions I happen to have (about, for example, who should do the dishes).

D, make a mushroom & cheese fritatta.

Hmm. Fritatta. Interesting idea, I shall look into it.

I'm completely pissed at our flexible spending people. They're denying over $350 of payouts--which I KNOW is my prepaid OB fees. Every time I've asked my OB for a proper printout of the fees, I get three pages of billing and payments so I'm sure these fuckwits can't figure out that $360 of that filing is FOR DAMNED DOCTOR so they need to be PAYING US OUR MONEY. *fume*

erika, thanks. Your police~ma is second to none.

Maria, it's so good to see you, you married lady! I'm so sorry about the store and your dad and sister. That sounds so scary.

Thanks, Stephanie. I don't think I had the chance to tell you how happy I am that Joe is finally home with you and Ellie. Things are sliding into their proper places.

Gris, so do I. I want to have the chance to tell him exactly what he did to our family.

Hey Plei, what size is Lily wearing these days?

Mostly 6-9, with a few hangers-on in 3-6. If she was still in disposable diapers, she'd probably be in 3-6 for another few weeks, as she's short (24 3/4") and not that heavy (just under 15lbs on Friday), but her giant cloth ass makes them a little tight unless they are separates.

I just put her in this size's edition of the pink gingham dress. Not quite as cute as the 3-6 month sundress one, but comfortable and sturdy. Hmm. Need to find one for the next-size-up stash. I also need to audit the next-size-up stash to see what I should be looking for when I hit the consignment stores.

Gris, fritattas are great. Go fritatta.
