I am not the best person to write the recap of Halloween because I worked that night, however this is what I gathered from the evening.

Liam was Elmo and Lance was a pirate that would not wear the head scarf (he didn't like the way dad put it on him, he looked like a girl) nor the earring that I set out (it hurt). So Lance basically had on a shirt and a pair of pants with a sword. They set out around 6:30 and hit the neighborhood houses.
Our friends Rodrigo and Mariela came over and went trick or treating with them to see what it was all about. They just moved here a few months ago from Buenos Aries and had never seen Halloween. After the boys had a good stash of treats they came home and manned our door for about an hour. During that time they also examined the candy and traded accordingly. For some reason Liam thought Dots were the hot candy this year and he traded really good candies for a small box of Dots from Lance. Liam thought they were medicine or something, don't quite understand that yet and I'm done asking about it. The last group before they turned off the light was a large group that came out of two minivans Lance said. They said one of them held the door open, the other just shoved candy into everyone's bags. I asked Lance if he wants to go trick or treating in the minivan next year, he said no, he has more fun walking. That's cool. 
Thanks to Rodrigo and Mariela for going with our family this year and for taking pictures and video!

Great pictures! Except it kinda looks like the pirate is trying to kill Elmo. Poor Elmo ... He never hurt anyone!
Ryan said he took a picture of Elmo trying to kill the pirate also, just for balance.
What a great dad...making sure everything's fair!
