You know you live in Suburbia when....

1. The HOA has a 4th of July Parade and the kids out number the adults 8 to 1.

2. You are convinced the neighbors around the corner are Swingers.

3. When you go for walks around the neighborhood - you must participate in the mandatory "hello" exchanges from those that are sitting on their front porches...which is of course every other house.

4. You meet your neighbors for the first time, and they immediately start telling you the age and gender of every child under 10 on the block. They can't remember parents names, but they know the kids...and that's only because of their kids. Oh - and they of course know their dogs names.

5. You are at the neighborhood pool and the lady next to you is 50+ but has had enough surgery to make her seem around 35...drinking Dos Equis in cans...by herself. And of course she was also covered in bling. Maybe she's part of the Swingers Club too.

6. There is an awesome Sno-Cone Truck that rolls through the neighborhoods at night...driven and run by a girl no more than 16 years old, cute, blond and very tan.

7. The average number of kids per household is 3.5.

8. Everyone has lawn service, even though most yards are so tiny it would only take 15 minutes to mow it yourself.

*Disclaimer* - I know this post was a little out of the ordinary for my Baby Blog, but I just had to share and shake things up a bit. We have many more additions to this list...so I'll add more as they come in. We can't wait!
