It's getting darker
Oct. 31st, 2006 04:26 pmAnd the kiddies are coming in.
In Park Slope, the kids trick or treat at the stores along the big shopping street. We're not a store (well, we are, I guess), so we get them, too.
And they are completely adorable, of course (except for the very tall teen-ager in the mask with the tag still on and *not* accompanying younger siblings).
We have a laundry basket with candy and I'm giving one piece per customer.
Lots of witches, one V for Vendetta, no Potter. A couple of Batmans.
And while a lot of kids have the traditional plastic pumpkin or the less traditional but reasonable plastic shopping bag (and one had a pillow case), I'm seeing a lot of cloth bags - mostly quilted pumpkins, but also other designs, some fairly large. I don't remember this from last year. Are these new?
