A little more play time until we head off to our second birthday party of the day.

Halloween Part 2

Just as Noah and I had settled in and were having a look at all the candy he got at school, Andy and Aransas invited us over to trick or treat in their building. It wasn’t hard to motivate Noah.

Savannah was so excited to see us that she ran around the corner and fell.

In Savannah’s building people just left buckets of candy outside their door. Some people poke their heads out when they hear us outside, but mostly it was a free for all.

Of course, some people smartly left instructions.

Derbs when as Gwyneth Paltrow’s kid… Apple (I got bad jokes for days).

Maxine went as Supergirl.

Amelia

Tragedy struck when Noah’s bag busted.

Then Savannah wrecked again.

Seamus kept it together, even if he took off his costume.

Them girls…

The last raid before we went back to our building.

As we walked up to our apartment, Alexa on the first floor came out eager to give Noah a treat, and as we thanked her Honey came out of her apartment asking us to knock on her door.

Honey had an entire basket just for Noah.

Filled with amazing things like whoopee cushions.

And 3-d Glasses.

Honey even had tricks for Kate and I.

So sweet. Thanks Honey! And thanks to Andy and Aransas for inviting us to trick or treat with them.

Every year Noah’s school invades the government offices in their building taking back your stolen tax dollars one tootsie roll at a time. Like any good rebellion, you need a leader – in this case Ms. Yelena – and a good pep talk.

Noah’s costume of choice for this “occupation”: a parrot to represent the colorful lies of the 1%.

Send in the dragons first, to intimidate.

Then show ’em our strength in numbers!

See how nervous the “suits” are?

The “fall” of big business (I’m guessing).

Laila and her mom

Dr. Noah C.

Can’t let the man keep us down with crowded elevators.

Admit it, you don’t read my captions.

Back to the class to celebrate our success.

Nooria

Back in our apartment, taking stock of our loot.

…until… (to be continued)

Savannah’s dad shot some video of the kids catching vibes from the blues band the day that we went looking for pumpkins.
