year so we never made it to a pumpkin patch for the requisite cute kid sitting amongst pumpkin photos. We did, however, do other fun things to commemorate the event. The day before Halloween we went to Montclair Village for the annual costume parade. We thought it would be fun for Noah to see all the kids dressed up. The event was chaotic and we choose a poor spot to sit (right next to the shopping carts full of candy to be given away from Rite Aid) but Noah got a balloon and seemed to have fun. He also got to see cops on motorcycles, horses and a marching band. 
On Halloween morning we went to Boo at the Zoo which was fun. We did their scavenger hunt, checked out all the animals and rode the sky chairs, carousel and train. I think Noah's favorite part was seeing the elephants participate in an Easter egg hunt with pumpkins. It was pretty cute to see them hone in on the pumpkins and eat them like apples. Of course, the tiger and monkeys were a big hit as usual.
That night we had a dinner party with a bunch of friends.Noah was supposed to be a punk rocker, but in true punk fashion he never actually let us put his entire costume together. For the parade we didn't have the right hair product so his hair ended up being rather pompodour-ish. He looked more like a 1950's Fonzie type of guy...well, except for the Sex Pistols shirt and the studded belt. For the zoo we remembered to add buttons to the jacket (for that more authentic punk look) and we had better hair product,, but Noah wasn't nearly as patient with us. His hair ended up being half spikey, half mohawky and really weird looking. Too bad we never even got to spray paint it blue.
