Bubbles

Trick or treating with a group of neighbor kids last night was awesome. Essentially we ended up with all the kids who use our bus stop. The first grader from around the corner was especially glad to have BB along. We also talked with another one of our neighbors who works in IT exclusively on Macs. Being a bit of a mac fanboy myself, it was great to chat with someone who lives and breathes his fandom. Best of all, he was dressed as the new OS X, Leopard, complete with a tail. Awesome!

Most popular treat: little Darth Vader masks filled with candy.
Best costume: AO's retro Halloween dress. She looks like an indie girl at a Dinosaur Jr. show.
Best moment: watching LB do a running waddle down a dark street in his Yoda costume.
Weirdest: hanging out with real native-born types who grew up in this neighborhood.
Most gratifying: when a Brazilian friend turned to us with a big smile and said, this is what I like best about American culture. It must seem like Carnivale, but for kids.
Most surprising: when LB spontaneously said Bubbles after mom blew some into the air. Let me repeat, he pointed into the air and said, bubbllh, over and over. Most awesome.
