Our town recommended that people not do trick or treating this year because of the pandemic. The kids didn't really mind and weren't interested in dressing up just for around the house, so here they are in their "6th grader" costumes! :)Halloween morning was cold -- 25 degrees! -- but sunny. James's last outdoor soccer game was rained out last week, so they rescheduled it for this week. I assumed they might cancel it again due to the cold, but nope, this is Buffalo, so they played it! He had fun and said the temperature wasn't too bad. (He ended up playing most of the time but had his winter coat for the sidelines.)
In the afternoon we went and did early voting. We had good timing; the line wasn't too long and it moved quickly. Even though they were doing some social distancing, it felt a little crowded inside, but everyone had their masks on (and we were in Clarence, which has tended to have pretty low rates of covid all along -- although our area has unfortunately started to go up in case numbers again). It wasn't as joyful to vote as it has been in previous years (never before have we had to worry that a president will try to avoid a peaceful transfer of power), but we are glad to have it done. We put up a few decorations and put out a bowl of candy in little individual bags. We don't have many trick or treaters in a normal year, so we didn't expect many this year either. There were at least a few, because the candy disappeared, but we didn't get to see them! We had a nice family movie night, too.
