The first snow fall & Halloween

Yes you are reading things correctly! On Tuesday night, October 28, we had our first Nor Easter of the season. I can't believe it snowed before Halloween! You really do have to LOVE the North Country (some days)..ha ha. We really did get pounded that night with over a foot of VERY heavy wet snow. Schools were closed on Wednesday due to broken branches blocking roads and some downed power lines. Fortunately we did not loose power at our house. Here are some pics from Wed. morning and Thursday morning while the boys were out playing.

The front of our house Wed. morning after the storm. Yes it is still snowing in this pic just not as hard.

The front bushes & our sidewalk are buried under there somewhere

On Halloween most of the snow had melted, although in a few of these pictures you can probably see some remnants of it. Andrew was Spiderman again this year. He still loves his costume from last year and since it fits I decided not to spend the money on something new. Of course he would not wear the mask, but that didn't surprise me. He refused to wear it last year too. We went Trick or Treating on Fort Drum instead of our neighborhood this year. Some of our friends were having a Halloween Party so we went to the houses in their neighborhood before the party.

Trick or Treat!

He wanted to go up to this house by himself

That is one scary man. This was Andrew's comment after going to this house

I hope everyone had a great Halloween! We had a good time and I'm kind of sad it's over. This means Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before I know it! This year has flown by!
