Better Late Than Never

Caleb was a cowboy for Halloween. He has a major obsession with cars, but that costume did not seem as manageable. I saw this ridiculously cute cowboy hat at the store so that was the deciding factor. I made him a vest and chaps to go with it, which I didn't think he would wear, but David did a good job at making them cool so Caleb would wear them.

We went trick-or-treating and had lunch at David's work on Friday, which Caleb loved. It was much warmer and not as much walking for little legs.

He was very excited about the first piece of candy that he got to put in his bucket.

Caleb really liked hanging out at Dad's work. He thought he was hot stuff sitting at Dad's desk.

He looks incredibly tired in the pictures because he is.

Caleb understood how the trick-or-treating thing worked right away.

I tried a new recipe for some Halloween festivities-pumpkin cinnamon rolls. I made a lot of these-4 dozen to be exact. It was quite unneccessary to make that many, but it worked out because I didn't feel bad throwing away the first batch that I felt were not as soft as I thought they should be. They turned out to be quite delicious, thank goodness because they took forever to make. We had plenty to give away to neighbors.

This is my favorite picture. Caleb was really excited to go trick-or-treating again. One of the advantages of living in Utah is that when Halloween is on a Sunday, everyone goes trick-or-treating on Saturday; I didn't have that luxury growing up. It was pretty cold outside so Caleb didn't bust the plaid shirt and chaps, but he wanted to wear his hat and I snuck his vest on over his sweatshirt.
