Trick or treat come hell or high water

Our neighborhood's annual Safewalk, where they close several streets for kids' safe trick or treating, was canceled this year due to Hurricane Sandy. But on the Prospect Lefferts Gardens listserve, the community voiced a different opinion—GAME ON.

We brought out our tripod and took some photos of kids from the building. You can see the semi-successful attempts at getting the toddlers to stay still.

And for those who aren't familiar with the brand of toys called UglyDoll, I made a Ninja Batty Shogun costume for August to match his stuffed animal. Potentially last year that I can force him to wear whatever I want him to wear, despite his vain attempts to remove his hood (maniacal laugh "bwahahaha!").
