I am so happy we're actually going to DO something with the kids. This is one of the big holidays for me, and I didn't want to do nothing again this year.

I'm gonna aim for a 10 p.m. bedtime for the little ones, but am not holding my breath. We'll see how long they last. But if Alex can stay awake, she'll be rewarded. She wants to watch a genuinely scary movie, and after the other kids are in bed, I just might oblige her. *If* she can keep her eyes open.

Of course, the way these things usually go, we might only make two out of the three planned treats before they get so distracted and flipped out on sugar that we only carve one pumpkin and there's no special drink at all. Kids.
