When Halloween falls on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday in Columbus, trick or treat is on the Thursday prior. I don't know exactly why that is, but I've heard it's because of football. We wouldn't want candy collecting to conflict with high school, college or professional football now, would we?
In any case, trick or treat was from 6 to 8 p.m. last Thursday. The weather was in the 60s, which was a nice change from some of the bitterly cold trick-or-treats we've had in the last few years. But about a half hour after it began, the rain started too -- and didn't let up for a day and a half or so. Edith and Atticus still went out in the rain, but not for as long as they would have. Atticus eventually even ditched his costume for rain boots and a rain jacket.
Edith was the eponymous Miraculous ladybug from her favorite show, and Atticus was a combination monster-Minecraft creeper. Plenty of candy was had by all.
