Not quite yet, though. New sink arrived, which meant the sit-around-being-lazy time was over, and I spent yesterday and today being all productive.

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.
