Additional Comment: Labor had a Halloween best trick in a costume contest and I got home from work around 5pm when I saw it posted and had until 7pm to submit, so I grabbed Emilie and made her wander around the hood with me to film some stuff. I ended up winning too! This got more likes than anything else I ever posted.
