"Is it Halloween? Is it Halloween?"

For four weeks now we've had an urgent interrogation each day: "Is it Halloween? Is it Halloween? I need a costume! I need a pumpkin! We need candy! Is it time for Trick or Treat?"

We've tried showing the calendar, but then a simple trip to the grocery store undoes all THAT good with a row of costumes, candy, wigs and decor. (Thanks, Raley's!)

We've tried all manner of, "Not yet, Bud," but clearly we are speaking some space gibberish, because all we get in return is, "But I need a costume!"

Finally I got an idea -- a wonderful, terrific, spookily perfect idea! I'll get a countdown going! He can't argue with the numbers -- bwahahaha! I thought I'd put it here for those of you who are confused each time you head out to buy groceries, too...
