Trick-or-Treat 2013

We are getting closer to the end of our Hallween trick-or-treating I think.  This is probably the last year for Ashley and her friends, though time will tell.  Brandon is now into the scary costumes and making sure they are creepy enough to bother me while making sure it still has some humor in it as well.

This year, Ashley wanted to be the 'Queen of Hearts' and Brandon had been wanting to be the 'Soul Taker' (insert shiver up and down the spine).

Kevin once again put up our movie screen for the second time and featured "Frankenweenie" and "Hotel Transylvania" which we played throughout the night.  Kevin overheard a group of boys approaching our house commenting that this house (ours) does this every year.  Apparently, we have started a new tradition - good job, Kevin!

I managed to capture a snapshot of the group before chaos started as one of Ashley's friends, Azu, joined and our friends, Martin & Karen with their girls (Mika & Tori) joined us to go house-to-house.  It was fun and the weather was perfect - a really good night to have fun.

One house over in The Cove section though had a man dressed up in a scary costume and would come up to the kids, which Frank Tessitore was excited to see.  He asked for us to take his his picture which resulted in a cluster of kids who were previously scared now smiling at the opportunity to have their picture taken with the scary man who was known to cause a few shrieks from others.

Once home, the kids wants to review their loot and then started to trade their candy before heading home and calling it a night.  Overall... it was a successful Halloween night!
