Halloween Solo

Awaiting the visit of little ghosts and goblins tonight, and for the first time awaiting them solo. I'll be on both candy duty and Copper duty this Halloween, and am not quite sure how it all will work except that some chaos will be involved.

I usually see the girls (and now guys) for Thanksgivings and Christmases — but Halloweens not so much. I have an invitation from Claire to come hand out candy at her house, but I would miss the neighborhood kids, three of whom I've watched grow up and who will be moving out next month.

So I'll try to carve the pumpkin and try to keep Copper occupied (or sedated) ... and hope for the best.

It will be noble experiment.
