First, about a week ago:
CP: We have no halloween candy.
Me: So? Last year we had what, one toddler? Why buy candy?
CP: You know this means we’ll get trick-or-treaters this year.
Me: Fat chance.
Halloween night.
*doorbell rings*
Me: *painting foyer* Uh, is it halloween tonight?
Kids: Trick or treat!
Me: Uh. Would you like some paint, instead?
Kids: …
Me: …
CP: Told you so.
Me: …
Yesterday was massive cleaning day, in prep for having friends over. …And now, I find myself reluctant to do jack with the kitchen, foyer, or dining room — it all looks so nice, I’m loathe to mess any of it up. Maybe this is a good place to take a break for a few days. Or a day or two. Or at least a few hours…
