Trick or T-T-T-reat in the C-C-C-old!

What's a little light snow and freezing temperatures to a determined trick or treater? Not much of a deterrent I'll say! It was a pretty miserable day weather-wise for poor Halloween Revelers here in Camillus. The town's first ever fall harvest fest was packed with fun things to do for kids and families, but the weather kept all but the die-hards from coming out. By the time trick or treat time came we had seen our first snow of the season (more like wet, white rain) but luckily nothing stuck at all and it was dry when the kids headed out.

Corinna went next door to one house and did her best "trickortreat" sound and was THRILLED when candy got put in the bag. Then back home with mom to hand out candy. The boys, with Natia, Kaitlin, Kim, and Charlie braved the temps and scored candy big-time. This is quite THE neighborhood for candy handouts! My favorite part of the night--trading all the candy you don't want--was loaded as Natia, Jake, and Aidan spread out all over the living room floor and thoroughly went through their loot. The boys were so good. Jake dressed as Spider-Monkey and Aidan as Mario.

Corinna's firs and only stop, next door.

Kaitlin was really getting into the spirit!

Mario loved his mustache and wore it for hours (EW!)

Spidermonkey, ready for anything.

Natia in her final costume of the season, the werewolf.

Our front stoop. Cue the creepy music coming out of the bushes and the strobe light
and it looked pretty darn cool!

My candy hander outter helper. She spent nearly all night taking candy out of the drawer and putting it into her bag. Emptying it and starting all over again. Adorable--until she figured out how to unwrap the candy without me seeing!
