Halloween here in Manhattan is like nothing else. There were tons of fun and festive events all around the city. Probably more than I've ever participated in my entire life! We managed to score a bucket full of candy that now sits on top of the fridge. I don't want to even look at it...way too tempting! Saturday, in true church fashion, we had a trunk-or-treat at our building along with a chili cook-off. There were fun little games the kids played then they went around the 2nd floor knocking on doors trick-or-treating. Merrick kept offering his candy from his bucket to the person behind the door. It was pretty funny! He also couldn't understand why he couldn't go to nursery. Poor kid. He love love loves going to nursery!
These two are so funny together!
He kept wanting to push Buzz's buttons :)
So if you're wondering how the heck you go trick-or-treating here since no one has houses, let me tell you. Our building, and all the others, had a sign-up sheet and if you wanted to participate you received a paper pumpkin to put on your door. So to each floor you go looking for an orange paper pumpkin taped to the front door. The Herway's invited us to go with them through their building which was great. Theirs is huge! Plus they had a list of ALL the apartments participating in all of Battery Park City!! That saved us some time. Some doors were all decked out as haunted houses which was neat. Others Merrick wouldn't even go to without some reassurance from his dad :) We had a great time doing the "normal" Halloween tradition here!
Oh and Merrick loved his costume!!! He still wants to wear the Woody Hat everyday.

he made such a good woody! Did you get a pic of the boys in costume together? Maybe Kimber did from the party. So fun.
