happy halloween!

it's hard to believe that one year ago today, we were taking maternity photos in the park, and now here we are with a 10 and a half month old baby.
park slope is the place to be on halloween - and since it fell on a sunday this year, kids were out in costume starting at about 3:30.  we ended up rushing home from our afternoon walk to start our candy distribution.  alex had read about neil gamian's all hallows read campaign, and so he offered every trick or treater a copy of his comic book.  the kids FREAKED OUT, the parents seemed really impressed and appreciative, and overall, it was pretty amazing.
penny sported two looks for her first halloween; her daytime attire:

 and her costume:

for those of you who don't know what this is, penny is nibbler from futurama!  not a bad job, if i do say so myself.  wandering around and seeing everyone dressed up, visiting our favorite stores and showing penny off, and watching the parade with friends - plus candy and wine!  halloween is such a great day!
