We weren't sure what to expect, but the kids weren't going to let the holiday just slip by. While our street didn't have much activity, there were several well-decorated houses just a few streets away, with lots of trick-or-treaters milling about. It was quite the experience walking through black wrought iron gates and up marble steps to these these gorgeous, multi-million dollar single residences bordered by gleaming white columns. (Needless to say, we don't live in one of these residences; rather, we're in one of the very modest residences that has been subdivided into several small apartments.)
Lily was Elphaba from *Wicked* and Brendan was the phantom from *Phantom of the Opera.* We found a cute little skeleton costume for Oliver but he had to stay bundled up and didn't get out of the stroller.
Also, yesterday we went to a "Wicked Day 2010," a "free day of family fun" at the St. Pancras train station -- see the poster below. It was a bit too crowded, but still fun.
The first picture below is of "Tiger Lily" from our recent trip to the London Zoo, where some master face painters were working their magic.
