Okay so....I know it's a bit early to think about this--but, better to get a head start on this than to have it sneak up on you.

Does this place do anything for Halloween? Or for the month of October? I know it could be different in other worlds, but where I'm from there's trick-or-treating, people dressed up in costumes, and loads of candy.

There's also spooky and scary stuff, but I'm not really thinking about that.

[No, she's just thinking about the candy, and the costumes and the other fun things that can happen--but mainly it's the candy.

Oh, and movie marathons about wizards and witches.]

If anyone could let me know, that'll be great! Thanks!

You did? [Oh wow, that's cool! Great minds think alike, she guesses.]

It would be nice to do as a family--especially with John and Oona. Maybe....we could even do a fire pit? Or a campfire and roast marshmallows?

Well, we'll see. No reason we can't do both.

[Well....if one wanted to be a stickler, one could find a lot of reasons to not do both (too much sugar and snacks), but Lucy decides to keep her mouth shut.]

Then let's talk about it with Daddy tonight? Or, are you staying at the hospital?

[He didn't mean at the same time! But he'll make that clarification later]

Yeah, we'll talk about it over dinner.
