On a related note: There are officially Halloween things in stores now! I may have gone a bit overboard at Target yesterday and made a child extremely jealous at the checkout counter

Child (frantically pointing at my tub of candy corn on the belt): "Mom! Look!"

Mom: "Oh, is the Halloween stuff out already?"

Me (turning around from my cart with a bag of Halloween candy on top of some pumpkin cupcakes): "Um ... yes"

Child: "Why can't I have that!"

Mom: "We only made it halfway through Target and you wanted to check out because you're wearing your heels."

Child: growls and stomps her plastic costume heel on the floor in indignation
