As you might imagine, Halloween at the Free School is pandemonium.  The morning follows a normal schedule.  I wasn't there due to still feeling sick but I suspect that between missing two days of school for the hurricane and being wound up about candy, not too much was accomplished.  I arrived just after lunch, as everyone was getting into their costume.  This involved a lot of running about, face painting, and posing for pictures.  Then we all paraded through the neighborhood where various parents and neighbors sat on their stoops passing out candy.

After the parade there was a party in the big room upstairs, with music and candy-trading.  A wonderful time was had by all.  I was a feeble bunny.  One of the kiddos suggested I looked like the energizer bunny but I felt far from energized and I didn't even make it through the whole parade.  At least I got to experience the spectacle.
