You know you're ready when you watch your wife spend two weekends and $80. making two Pokemon costumes and then you go out for an hour on one night and get 5 bucks worth of candy with them. Of course you also get the excitement and the frantic pestering (Dad is it time yet?) and the joy of hearing your son tell several strangers how his Mom "made my costume because she's so good at it and she really loves me.".....three times!

A few years from now there will be other joys and these will be just memories. Ya' know, I'm starting to envy you a bit Wes!!!!
