Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween!! We had two ninjago characters and a dinosaur this year.  We started out the day with a party at Ryan's preschool.  It was really just a lot of chaos and screaming from 2-5 year olds. They did get to wear their costume though and Ryan seemed to have fun. 

Pulling some moves

Not too crazy about this costume....but also the starts of what turned into his first double ear infection.  I should have known it this day, not 5 days later...poor baby.

We trick or treated with our friends Jasper(Michelangelo) and Felix (Optimus Prime). We went down to 78th street again this year and it was MOBBED.  The decorations are pretty cool though and they had a fun time.

I was trying to get the street, it was endless

Then we came back and did our side of the building. After a free for all with the candy (basically...) the switch witch came and brought some books!

All the candy and beer wore this football player out

I forgot to get any pictures when we first carved. This was five days later and down one pumpkin.

PUMPKIN CARVING

Before we carved, Andrew and I went down to the Tribeca Performing Arts Center and saw the musical, "Bunnicula." It was really cute and is a cute story if you don't know the book. The boys were a little grossed out for about 1/2 a second.  Then Andrew did a pumpkin on his own-I cut the top and he scooped, designed and carved. And, I forgot to take a picture of it before it got all moldy in our 100 degree apartment. 

                                                     

                                               Who is this 12 year old looking boy?!?

                                     Julian woke up from his nap and wanted to "help"

The bad thing about pumpkins in an apartment is that it is so hot, they only last a day or so. We stretched ours to four and it was too long!

Fall Picnic

 A fellow KPMG mom set up a fun, fall family gathering by the Turtle Pond in Central Park.  Before we headed there we tried to stop by the Fall Festival in Central Park but it was complete MAYHEM.  We did manage to snag a picture with this huge pumpkin.  I wish I would have taken a picture of the line for the haunted house, it had to be 500 people long.  

                                       The leaves are definitely changing!

We don't know these people, but this was a beautiful area for a wedding shot.

Before I know it there will be two more little feet on the ground :(

                                   Searching for the scavenger hunt items

I didn't take an adult pictures, but it was a great way to get to meet some of the new families coming into the rotation.  The kids all played together well and there were lots of yummy treats!

             And of course, no outing is complete with out swords, nunchucks and masks
