Halloween Is Upon Us

In just a couple of weeks, we will be celebrating Halloween. Our family is Halloween crazy and makes the most of the evening marching in the New York City Halloween Parade. I suggest all people, young and old, make this pilgrimage to the parade at least once in their lifetimes. The parade has tens of thousands of marchers and crowds more than one million strong. New Yorkers go all out making their costumes and while you still see the traditional witch or ghost, you are more likely to witness people dressed as five-headed monsters, flying saucers, or

over-sized subway rats.

Since we became dads, we have dressed our family as some type of four-pack with each year getting more elaborate than ever. We've had some fantastic costumes and group ideas, but last year's was beyond amazing, as the four of us went as Barack & Michelle Obama and their Secret Service agents. People on the street went crazy and it was one of the best nights any of us have ever had. By the end of the night, Cyrus and Grady even believed that they were Barack & Michelle, respectively.

Our friends have been asking us for months now, are we ready for Halloween yet. We are learning dance steps, doing final fittings on costumes, practicing music lyrics and reworking wigs for the big night. Stay tuned to see the fun unfold on Halloween night.
