[div class='excerpt"]Later today, the president and first lady will welcome school kids and military families to trick-or-treat at the White House, which will be lit orange for the annual occasion. The Obamas will dole out treats, including White House M&Ms, jelly beans, cookies and dried fruit (which may be more trick than treat).

The First Dogs are also getting in on the fun. A giant topiary of “Sunny” made of ribbon is dressed as a sunflower and a huge “Bo” made of pipecleaners is wearing a pirate costume.
