Halloween Impending

Two weeks until Halloween and we haven’t even begun the costume negotiations. Kiki wants to be a white sorceress. That should be fairly easy. Link wants to be Metal Mario from Super Mario 64. I’m not at all sure whether we can manage that. Gleek and Patches haven’t expressed their Halloween intentions yet. Tomorrow I’ll haul the Big Bag O’ Costumes down from the top of the garage and the chaos will begin.

The timing on this actually works really well. I’m done tweaking the store and I’m not yet getting stressed about all the shipping and release party preparations. I have a couple of weeks to concentrate on giving the kids a happy Halloween. That is important because they haven’t had much of my attention for the last couple of weeks. I keep arriving at bedtime and realizing that I’ve taken care of the kid’s needs all through the day without really looking at any of them. My life has been moving so fast lately that I keep missing bits of it.
