Halloweenies

We may not go door-to-door in quite the same way as when mommy and daddy went trick-or-treating as kids but it's every bit as much fun!  Instead of ringing the doorbells of the Jones, Smith and Johnson houses, we visit our beloved local retailers who doll up their windows, dress up to the nines and stockpile the candy for our little trick-or-treaters.  Sometimes its hard to tell who's having more fun, the kids or the grownups!

A local East Village shop decked out for the occasion 

(notice the tiny trick-or-treater inside).

Big Brother dressed up as (go figure) his fave Yankee Derek Jeter, while Little Sister went as the main character in her favorite book series Ladybug Girl. The resemblance is striking...makes sense that Ladybug Girl's name in the book is none other than...Lulu!

After a fun-filled trick-or-treating adventure through the East Village we arrived home to find our amazing downstairs neighbors bearing Halloween treats for the kids.  A squashy marshmallow pumpkin and Mickey Mouse lollipop delivered by our infinitely patient downstairs buddies (would you want to live underneath this family??) rounded out the loot and reminded us once again why we love it here.

Happy Halloweenie Everyone!!
