The Scariest Halloween Ever

With all the destruction and horrible things happening around New York and beyond, this Halloween week was doomed. Yesterday we salvaged what we could, took a walk around the hood, had a few laughs and gathered much candy. Finley was Hermoine Granger. Craig resurrected "the scary old man" once again though this year he looked like Dumbledore to me. The best was when we passed a restaurant where an elderly couple were having dinner - the old guy had long white hair and a moustache - he and Craig had a hilarious conversation through the glass. "Brother! - you never call!" I was going to be an insane nursing student zombie... meaning myself, essentially, but was then stricken by a brilliant and simple idea... a white (ish) sheet! I love a good ole scary ghost. Another great moment was at the end of the night while giving out candy on our stoop Finley just starting running up and down the street with other neighbor kids giving candy to everyone. "Really? Even though we are grown ups and um, not wearing costumes? Thanks!"
