The good thing about Halloween being on a weekend is that you get a chance to dress up twice! Today was pretty low key all morning, but we managed to get back in gear post-nap and head out to Julie and Jesse's Halloween bash in the gardens. Elisa was not any happier to get dressed today, but once I explained the candy concept again, she perked up. We were off to do some real trick or treating...
Approaching our first house around 46th Street, she wasn't too sure what was going on. It was about 5:30 p.m. and there were lots of kids already on the street. In fact, most of them were running past us, which didn't make Elisa too eager to get out of the stroller. She hobbled along for a few minutes and got a couple of kitkats and M&Ms under her belt. I think we stopped at three houses, but that was all she was interested in. I asked if she was ready to party at Maya's and the answer was a resounding "yes." So off we went, and what a good idea. The party was a great way to spend the evening in the midst of the hubbub, but safely removed from it. Good food, good company and Elisa got a chance to jump around and dance with her fellow flamenca dancer Maya. When we made it back home around 8p.m., I busted out some chocolate for her. Hopefully, she's piecing this all together and will be looking forward to Halloween by the time it rolls around again next year. It was always one of my favorite holidays in my favorite season of the year, so I'm hoping Elisa will like it too. Now, to start thinking about a family costume for next year. Hmmmm...
