Halloween

There were already trick-or-treaters out at 4 pm when I picked up Zack from preschool. The whole neighborhood was into it. You didn't go knock on doors---people sat on their stoops or on lawn chairs by their gates with huge bowls of candy and chatted with all the groups passing by. Several people offered Zack candy even though we weren't actually trick-or-treating yet, and he ate 3 m&ms on the way home. Those, together with a kitkat bar have been the extent of his Halloween sugar intake, and he seems to be totally over it. But those first few m&ms were a pretty big deal to him.

We went back out with Dad, and did a lot more trick-or-treating. I threw away the tootsie rolls and dumdums, and the chocolate candy bars are away in a cabinet in case he remembers about them.


These people wanted a trick. Luckily, Zack has a trick.

Jack-o-lantern!

Jack came over to help carve pumpkins, but Jack and Zack turned out to be more interested in each other than in the carving. Zack is very happy with the finished product, however.

Halloween parade

On Sunday, Super Zack was offered the drum and led hundreds of kids in the local Halloween parade. Until he got tired of walking, and of banging. At which point he and Dad did "the trick" and traveled like that for a while. Elliot accompanying on maracas, but he also got tired of shaking relatively quickly. In retrospect, a 3 block parade would have been better suited to these participants than a 10 block parade.

Halloween party

Last weekend at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Zack had an amazing time with his friend Georgia, dancing with performers in amazing costumes, and meeting lots of new friends. Pizza afterward, big kids and little brothers all on stools. Photos from Alex.

Doll house

Ash loved playing with the dollhouse. He rearranged and took everything out multiple times. He loves the idea of playing with big kid toys. (Week and a half ago still.)
