We've had to limit Will's Halloween costume dress-up to 10 minutes a night in an effort to give the Buzz Lightyear costume a fighting chance of making it to Halloween (trust me, this kid can destroy ANYTHING - white spandex and plastic is not going to be a challenge). Consequently, a certain space-ranger-in-training has been chomping at the bit to test drive his new duds. Big sister's costume hasn't even been started yet, but she's been remarkably cool about it so far.

Sarah was such a trooper, she didn't kick up a fuss at all about wearing (gasp!) running shoes with her princess dress. I took the opportunity to test-drive the good ol' skeleton costume.
