Did you remember to send your Halloween pics in to the Local? Check out the ones that made it. I see Cameron, and some other familiar faces there! Thanks to Tiffany for the heads up.

Today, Brooklyn Junior opened! They are located near the corner of Clinton and Myrtle in Clinton Hill. I stopped in before their Halloween Party which starts tonight at 6pm (Cameron’s bed time, unfortunately!) I took a few pictures to share with you all so you could see what it looked like. The space is small, but bright, with lots of cute clothing and some toys. It looked like they were still getting things in order…. so I can’t wait to see how it all comes together. So far, so good!
Don’t forget they have a 10% off Coupon you can print out, valid until 12/31/09!
How exciting! The New York Times Local blog is calling for pictures from Fort Greene and Clinton Hill residents again. This time, it’s all about Halloween. So be sure to snap some pictures of your little one all dressed up in their Halloween best, enjoying the neighborhood, and send it in! The details can be found here. Good luck – I got Cameron in last time, as well as a few other photos I took!
Brooklyn Junior Opening Party
You might recognize this old storefront on Clinton near Myrtle
New details were posted on Parents Around the Hill (via Fort Greene Kids) about the Kids store that is comming to Clinton Hill / Fort Greene. Check out the website and Blog for the clothing line / store named Brooklyn Junior where you can read more about the clothes and see what they look like. Super cute! Of course the store will also have some toys and accessories. I am hoping once it opens I won’t have to trek over to Area Kids for Birthday Presents…. with this place and Greenlight Bookstore, we are set!
The opening party is Halloween Night, 6-9pm. After that, regular business hours will be Tuesday – Sunday 12-6pm (closed Mondays). CLICK HERE TO GET A COUPON FOR 10% OFF!! Valid until 12/31/09. I will visit once the store is open and post some pics!
No real updates today – this mommy is SICK! And unfortunately it seems like Cameron has caught my cold. 
Just a reminder – on Saturday is the Greenlight Bookstore Storytime (and other grand opening celebrations) and then on Sunday is Ghouls and Gourds at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Here’s to hoping for good weather, and a speedy recovery for myself and Cameron!
Can’t wait until Halloween to show off that spiffy costume you got for your little one? Well on Sunday October 25th from 12-6 the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is having a Ghouls and Gourds event.

I was walking down Myrtle the other day when I saw a poster for it – and I’m so glad I did. This one looks like it’s jam packed with all kinds of fun stuff: There’s music all daylong including a drum circle and costume parade. There’s a flea circus, craft workshops (make your own leaf rubbing, make your own egg shaker, mask making,) giant puppets, temporary bug tattoos, and SO much more!! Check out the Brooklyn Botanic Garden website for all the info.
