We had a fun Halloween. Aaron Scott was a Power Ranger, and Landis was a pumpkin.
They were very cute. Our friends Sara and Sean and their daughters, Aerin and Teagan, came over for dinner. It was very confusing having an Aaron, an Aerin and an Erin. After dinner, Goat and Sean took Aaron and Aerin trick or treating while Sara and I distributed candy to the neighborhood kids and tried to keep the babies out of trouble. 
Landis decided he was done being a pumpkin. His cruel mother continued to unsympathetically snap pictures, but sweet little Teagan crawled over to comfort him. "It's OK, Landis. I know what you're going through." She's such a good friend.
I finally relented and took off his pumpkin suit, and he and Teagan played for a while before the older kids got back with giant buckets of candy. Somehow we managed to wrench the buckets from them, but only after they had eaten enough sugar to stun a small elephant. Our friends headed home, and we watched Aaron Scott bounce off the walls until the sugar high ended and he crashed into bed, exhausted. We quickly followed suit, tired and thankful that Halloween is only once a year.
One of these days I will put up the pictures from Landis' birthday party.
