Happy Halloween...almost a week late!

Not sure where this week went, but I am just sitting down to post pictures from Halloween.

We have not given Callen candy yet, so we figured we didn't need to take him door to door trick-or-treating. He wasn't going to eat it, and I didn't need to eat every fun size candy bar that came into the house! We opted to walk up to the local Mexican restaurant for dinner with Cal dressed in costume. We did walk around so he could see kids dressed up, as well as see a few of our friends and their kids.

For Cal's costume, I knew he would not keep anything on his head or wear any kind of costume. We had been given a leather jacket as a hand-me-down, so I had the idea of him being an airplane pilot. We then thought to make his wagon into a B-24 bomber. Doug did some awesome work with cardboard!!

People loved his costume and all the kids were walking by saying how cool it was. Doug was so excited when one guy pointed out that it was a B-24. We hope to continue making homemade costumes for as long as possible. I know there will come a point that Cal will want one from the racks of Target, but a homemade costume is so much more fun and special.

After returning home from dinner and walking around, we had a few trick-or-treaters come to the house. Cal would go to the door with me, and then put candy in the bags of the trick-or-treaters. Thank goodness he had no idea candy was in the bags, or he would not have given them up so easily!
We hope everyone had a fun evening...and recovering from the sugar coma by this point in the week!
