Trying to think ahead here. Halloween is coming up and need to get geared up for how to handle the Trick or Treating.

What I'd like to do is not have WH take DS at all. But that's not good for DS and I know that wouldn't fly with WH. Usually one of us takes DS out and the other man's the door to hand out candy then we swap off.

I guess I will tell WH that he can come and take DS around from 7:00 to 7:30 and I will take him from 7:30 to 8:00. Will have to handle so I don't see WH at all. I guess I'll have to shove DS out the door.......

What is everybody else planning??

why don't you just have him take DS for the entire time so WH doesn't have to come inside? That will give him a taste of what divorced life will look like.

I could do that....I always enjoy walking around with DS though. Wasn't planning on letting WH come in. After his turn I was going to lock up the house & take DS around. I could e-mail my plan to Sara so WH would know before-hand -

DS is going to be Mr. Incredible. The costume is SO CUTE!
