First "Trick or Treat"


Thinking of a topic for my new post I was looking through the family pictures. And while reminiscing I came up with the idea to structure my blog in a way that a story from the past takes turns with a story from the present. It won't necessarily be some chronological retrospecting, just a separate standing narration about people and places that we love. How great is that? I find this motif quite peculiar, and hope you will like it too.

So today I'm travelling back to the year of 2013, the month of October. This is our first Halloween with Askar. The celebration started early in the morning at the Brooklyn Public Library (Dyker Hights branch). Toddlers' Time reading and playing session gathered a lot of kids that day, all wearing cute costumes. Askar's character is a blue monster from the Monsters, Inc cartoon. To my mind he is fitting perfectly into this monster image, isn't he? 

Later in the day we joined our friends in Bay Ridge and participated in the 'trick or treat' procession. We met the fellow monsters in the crowd and took group pictures. Boys were very excited to come across a beautiful lady wearing a vivid red dress and feather in her black hair. A grand finale of our adventures was a basket full of treats from folks who hated tricks. 

It was a damn great day! Must repeat it again this year...
