| Old, old friends, the Mulvihills, joining us for a fall Harvest dinner and pumpkin carving fest. |
 |
| Nanny and Papa joined our Halloween this year - a first! Griffin's school Halloween party |
 |
| Princess Leia's hairdo |
 |
| Princess Leia, or should I say Princess Julia, whose force few boys in the class are immune to |

 |
| Gotta say, with no bias whatsoever, that Alice stole the show at her school Halloween parade, in her Indian Deepavali wear. |
 |
| Griffin and Princess Leia at the parade. Note any chemistry there? |

| Bugs crawling up the side of PS 107 |
 |
| Our friends, Jack, Marcel, Cheryl, and Jude Van Ooyen, not to mention Matt, are famous, and have actually won awards, for their Halloween house decorating. Park Slopers come from all over to see it. This year, Cheryl was too stressed with work to do it, and this is what happens when they barely make an effort on decorating. Imagine what happens when they put their creative brilliance towards decorating? Last year, they covered their brownstone in plastic, with huge bed bugs crawling on it, and a bed bug bed that rolled down to the parade, to roll through the parade with all of them in huge bed bug costumes. Hate that we missed it! |

| Our neighbors we love |
 |
| It's so good to be back with so many people I love, at such a festive neighborhood ritual. Funny, though, I do feel like we are relearning local customs all over again, including Halloween. |
 |
| Candy, little boy? |
 |
| Note the chocolate-colored mouth already |
 |
| PS 107 kids put together these puppets for the Halloween parade |
 |
| Chefs distributing chocolate |
 |
| Ken in his traditional clown wig |
 |
| We love our local firemen. Boom is in such awe of them that he barely mustered the courage to ask them Trick or Treat! |
 |
| This photo doesn't do justice to the outrageous dragon hanging off the building, moving up and down, as a puppetry work of art, by a Bard College art professor and his daughter. |
 |
| Dan and Amelia, our close friends |
 |
| The famous Park Slope Halloween parade! With the traditional pirate ship |
