I'd love to say that we're going to have our traditional Halloween chilli and enjoying all the neighborhood kids coming to the door. But this year we took in a foster dog from the shelter and while we're loving her, she's still decompressing and very barrier reactive and unpredictable, so people coming to the door would not be good for her, for us, and certainly not for small children. We're leaving the candy out, hoping the squirrels don't get at it first and hiding out in the office with the door closed. We'll play some games, listen to tunes, watch some Netflix, and she's big enough that we could use her for a bolster pillow and she won't mind. Actually sounds kind of OK.
Went out with the kids, but when it started to lightly sprinkle in the neighborhood, Youngest (who has sensory issues) wanted to bail after like a dozen houses, and SmilnHer forged ahead with Middlest as Youngest and I went home. He wanted to watch a classic monster movie, so we put on Frankenstein and hung out whilst the others finished their rounds. Then when we sent them to bed, I watched an episode of Twin Peaks. Pretty relaxing, overall.

I'm becoming THAT person on the block who hands out full bars. :)
Also SiriusXM is just about to switch over to the Holly channel and I am *ALL ABOUT IT*.
