Well...it's almost here. According to Bloomberg, it appears likely that Obama will have the bill on his desk next week to extend the first time home buyer tax credit. Needless to say, this bill, in it's current form extends the tax credit to:
Non-First Time Homebuyers can get a $6,500 tax credit as well!!!!
Check out the article from Bloomberg since it was released last evening. Homebuyer Tax Credit, Unemployment Bill Advances in Senate.
Lawmakers voted 85-2 to move closer to a final vote on the bill, which would extend until April 30 the $8,000 homebuyer credit that otherwise would expire at the end of this month. Homebuyers who have lived in their prior residence for at least five years could receive a credit of $6,500. Couples earning as much as $225,000 a year and individuals earning up to $125,000 would qualify. That's up from the current $75,000 limit for individuals and $150,000 for couples.
It'll be interesting to see how the final version of this bill looks when it's finally signed into law.

Not too often I can go ahead and brag about looking worse than the kids who dress up for Halloween. However, this Halloween consisted of a lot of fun for the entire family. On Friday we had the first annual Chili Cook Off. It was awesome. We had 10 different types of Chili. I've never made chili before, but I did make it this night. Let's say that I didn't make the top 3.
The next day was Halloween. It was awesome. Here I am with my oldest son. He looks really old here. I'm really not sure who looks worse, but my wife almost peed in her pants laughing so hard. It was a lot of fun and my kids said that it was the best Halloween they'd ever had. Sure, this is a day after speechless sundays, but I really had a lot of fun to share!

Halloween is just around the corner! Every year I like to give a lot of shout outs to protecting your children. My kids actually like Halloween, but I think that they like the party and the chili afterwards more than the actual trick or treating. I'm the same way.
However, I'm a NAZI about child protection. There's a lot of wierdo's out there....and in this world more than ever. Halloween isn't probably as big of a deal for the wierdos, but the time is right and there've been too many horror stories in years gone past.
Keeping the children protected means staying away from wierdos. Needless to say you need to watch your kids year round....but...without further ado....
Here's one Way to Protect your Child
The Sexual Predator List(s):
These are your kids. I always check both prior to going on our little Halloween excursion. Be safe...protect your children. They're the most valuable assets you have.
