Trick-or-treating has not been cancelled by the state or the town, but we already told our kids that it’s not happening this year. The kids deserve to celebrate Halloween, though, so we’re going to have to do more around the house to make the holiday happen. Toward that end, today the kids and I made some black paper bats to use as decorations. We gave a name to each bat, among them Bat Attitude (mine), Kitty (Livia’s), and Child 3 (Marshall’s). I asked Marshall which of the names he had given was his favorite, and he told me it was Child 3, because the mom and dad bat had only had two bat babies, so where had the third one come from? Interesting!
