BOO!!

This year, Jack dressed up as a firefighter and Spence was a monkey. It's the first year that Jack wasn't some type of food (look through the archives for shots as a chili pepper and a hot dog). This year was also the first time that Jack responded to his costume. He loved it! Spencer didn't seem to care one way or the other. :)

In our neighborhood, there are several options for trick-or-treating. The retail stores and restaurants hand out candy. Several of the brownstones on W. 69th St (one block away) put up over the top decorations and hand out candy. Lastly, kids can trick-or-treat in the building. We took Jack to walk around 69th street as well as a couple of stores (you know, the ones that know us - the wine store and the Italian restaurant). Then we met up with a bunch of other kids for trick-or-treating in the building. Jack was younger than most of the kids, but he did his best to keep up. He learned to say "Trick-or-Treat" but didn't  quite understand getting candy. (I think that this is great - the longer he doesn't crave candy, the better). As the kids ran up and down the hall, Jack held on tightly to his fireman's hat with one hand and his trick-or-treat bag with the other. It was too cute.

The look was too good not to include!

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
