Trick or treat x 2

The kids have been counting down the days until Halloween. It might have been because they got to go out twice this year.  Since Olmsted was hosting the last home football game of the season on Halloween, they moved trick or treating to Saturday.  Since it was the holiday and this was the first year Corrie has been able to pass out candy, we headed to North Olmsted for a bit Friday night.  The kids ended up with more candy than I expected and had a great time running around in a pretty empty group of condos.
Saturday was extra exciting.  Not only did it snow for the first time this season, it was our first Halloween in a new neighborhood and friends got to go out with us.  I was a little worried that with all the kids most people would be out getting candy, not passing it out.  The neighbors assured me that we would be just fine.  Almost every house was passing out candy.  People had fires going in the driveways and the adults had their treats to keep them warm all night!  They got a ridiculous amount of candy and ate at least a third of it that night while warming up.  Luckily Sams school is donating candy to Berea Childrens Home so we were able to get rid of a full grocery bag today.  Our first "major" holiday in the new house was a huge success!
