The walrus costume was a huge success. Everywhere we went it was a fan favorite.
The next photo here is our family dressed up for actual halloween. Renee is Gail Simmons from Top Chef and the Walrus is self explanatory. I stayed true to my own personal traditions of never having a costume ready until about 2 hours prior to needing to be somewhere. As I thought my trip to the basement would yield some great finds and materialize a costume, I was left almost empty handed. I pulled an old chain out of the ground that was probably circa 1900 and Renee begged me not to use it. If it wasn't for her amazing suggestion I probably would have been hauling the chain around park slope.
My costume was a new dad. Complete with nappy hair, bags under my eyes, pacifiers, fake dirty diapers, actually dirty bibs, bottles, wrinkled shirt, sweatpants, a lamb, and dress shoes.
Brooklyn has some killer parades put on the by the Center for Puppetry Arts.
Her first halloween parade.
Getting up in the action.
She loved the music so much she was charging into the center.
Ever seen a walrus get down?
While Bobofet and storm troopers loomed in the background she was fascinated by the music.
The final parade today on 7th Ave.
