halloween.

i know i know. it's mid-november and i'm just now taking this back to halloween but a) harper was the cutest "spaceman" {so the brits say} which i can't miss documenting, b) i'm pregnant, hormonal, and that's just how it's going, and c) i've got even older photos to post-date so you just wait! :) 

halloween around these parts is very american driven. the brits haven't fully come around to our ghoulish traditions just yet. only a few neighborhoods celebrate, but the ones that do really go all out, decorating their porches and dressing the part. harper was old enough this year to really get into the trick-or-treating spirit and loved running from house to house yelling pumpkins!!!, as that's what marked which houses were passing out candy.

i bought harper two costumes this year {thanks to target for having a BOGO sale!}. the first, being an astronaut. she's been on this whole la luna kick lately, so i knew she'd dig it. the second, was an elsa costume. i don't push the princess thing around our house, and to be honest i kind of hate that i bought it for her. but then again, technically it was free, and i felt like i'd be a horrible parent NOT giving her that option. ya with me? luckily, with only minimal persuasion, she bought into the astronaut idea. i couldn't be prouder. she rocked it. and london was at ease knowing there was one less elsa on the streets that evening.

***carving our little 'ol jack-o-lantern to get into the spirit***

***harper was quite into the guuuuuts and had to document every step of the process***

***early on, either todd or i went with harper to the door. after she got the hang of it, she was on her own!***

twick-o-tweat.


at the rate in which i'm consuming harper's halloween candy, i figure it's only fair that i take a minute to talk about our halloween before the skittles and milky way disappear. during the early afternoon, before the parade of sugar-high kids rush the streets, we walked down west 69th street to enjoy the decorated brownstones. we saw big spiders, wicked witches, overly-creepy ghouls and a whole lotta' pumpkins. i love how they get into the spirit up there.

after our stroll, we met papa downtown and began halloween part II. every year in tribeca, the stores open their doors and pass out candy to trick-or-treaters. it was our first time celebrating in tribeca and it was a blast! harps totally got into the spirit saying twick-o-tweat to every door she passed, whether they were handing out candy or not. bam! halloween success.

***this brownstone wins the award for most creepy. i think it was the body parts chained to the fence that really did it for me.***

***i never would have guessed that kings pharmacy would have been harper's first place to trick-or-treat #citykid***

***eyes on the prize***

***we're super lame and didn't dress up this year. we planned to dress as pirates to accompany our parrot, but i looked more like a gypsy than pirate in my stripes and head scarf.***

a weekend in the poconos.

happy friday! before this weekend hits, i'm still dreaming about our last! we spent ours in the poconos with some friends from the city. and by some i mean 16 adults and about 14 littles. it was wild! i can't even describe to you how nap time went around those parts...not to mention bedtime! our friend was turning the big 3-0 so his wife organized this whole weekend without him knowing! and with all of our big mouths, it's a miracle none of us slipped. the daytimes were spent cooking, golfing, and taking walks around the neighborhood. with the leaves changing in the mountains, we showed up at the perfect time! and after long days, we greatly welcomed bedtime for the littles so that we could stay up talking, vegging out, hot tubbing, and just enjoy one another's company. i love the life-long friendships we've made. even though we've been gone for a year, we pick right back up where we left off. 

***the cutest pumpkin patch you ever did see***
***harper was so excited about her pony ride until it was go-time. then she was terrified, so daddy stayed right by her side***

***the pigs on the other hand...she loved!***

these two...we got to keep our eyes on them***

***isn't that landscape something else?***

***we're missing a few babies in the picture who were napping***
