Buzz Lightyear

Cal's love of buzz started back in September, when he found this little spinny buzz man at a store in disney world:

Then, after a few times of watching Toy Story with the spinny buzz in hand, his buzz fetish continued.  It wasn't until Ryan's brother, Rob, sent us their son's old buzz costume that he truly became 100% obsessed.  This was his first time seeing himself, and he was mesmerized:   

So, naturally, we HAD to coordinate for Halloween!  I had fun figuring out how to sew a little woody vest for Ryan, and he secretly (ok, not so secretly) loved being a cowboy.  And I chose the oh-so-exciting 8 ball, to show off my new curves ;)  

We had such a fun time at the ward trunk-or-treat!  It was amazing how creative people are.  One of my favorites was our friends the Lelegrens, who dressed up their cute little daughter in a dinosaur costume and dressed up like the original Jurassic Park cast.  They nailed it.  

35 weeks, large and in charge!

And then, Halloween night, we took Cal out way past his bed time to try out trick-or-treating in a fun neighborhood.  All of the homes were completely decked out, and there were kids crawling all over the streets.  Although he would hand us his bucket full of candy and chase dogs most of the time, I think he enjoyed it! 

Here's a pic of some of Cal's little buddies all dressed up:

I am so excited for Halloween next year!  It truly is such a blast with little imaginative kids.
