This seems to be the only picture I have from Halloween. That’s my friend Nomi from the playgroup holding Faire at our Halloween party. She’s wearing a hand-me-down bee costume from Reagan, which is about as cute a costume as I can imagine for a little bub.
I fondly remember lots of home-made-costume makin’ growing up, but until Faire is old enough to understand dress-up and Halloween, and get excited about her own costume ideas, I so don’t need to go there.
We went to a playgroup halloween party on the 30th, and then we went to a kids Halloween parade on Halloween itself. It was a couple hundred(?) kids all dressed up in their costumes, with their parents, and we met on a street corner and followed a pair of bagpipers up the street a few blocks to a park where the kids could play.
Oh, I was also really curious what kids do for trick-or-treating in the city: they go around to all the businesses. Walking back to the subway on Broadway after the parade was a total madhouse.
