identity confusion

Dutch is going to be Pippi Longstocking for Halloween. Or a princess. Or a hammerhead shark. She can't decide. She's all in a kerfuffle (thanks, Mama Big Cook!) about all the festivities that fall is ushering in - my birthday, Halloween, her birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas... It's going to be a hectic two months. Last year, by the time January rolled around, Dutch was convinced that she was going to get a party and/or presents every two weeks.

That's all. We're pretty busy these days, and I've got to go make a Halloween costume of some kind.
