Happy Halloween! (Armstrong flavored)

Aidan and Shad got into carving their own pumpkins this year, scooping out goopy seeds and everything! Aidan had hoped to save ALL the seeds, but he was happy with a handfull after I assured him we could plant them and grow a whole pumpkin field all by ourselves with them. (In theory, I mean. I realize pumpkins are durable choice for veggie gardens and all that, but follow-thru should never be assumed.)

Our Four Costumed partyers!
Shad has decided he's Spiderman forever - I think this is the 3rd year, and quite frankly, it fits him! Camten decided Aidan's cool cape was so awesome - we had two batmans! :) And they can run really fast with those capes, too! Those two have been wearing their costumes almost daily for two weeks!! Trinity had to dress in her Princess outfit every time she saw it, so we either hid it from her, or didn't give her any chocolate, caramel, yogurt, juice, bananas, crackers, rice, lollipops, cereal, or pudding while she was in it.
Trick-or-Treating has always been memorable for us... and not just because of the sugar-rush! Shad, Aidan, friend Cody and Trinity went door to door as enthusiastically has they could until the neighborhood ran out of candy, and the kids couldn't fit one more in their buckets. Camten reserved his energy, discovering he had to talk to people, which he's not sure he's ready to do, yet. He had his Daddy, though, so he was happy to walk along.
