Halloween for Caeleb

I am still stuck in the hospital but there is an end in sight. I just need to go for another ultrasound. I wanted to be home last night for Halloween. Originally, Chris, Caeleb and I were going to go trick or treating together. Chris was going to be a Scarecrow, Caeleb a Lion and me, Dorothy, all from the Wizard of Oz. Nathan wanted to hold down the fort and hand out candy.

But Alas, here I am and was unable to go. Caeleb and Chris ended up joining Paul and Kamille's family and they ventured out into the cold with them for some Trick or Treating. Chris forgot Caeleb's lion costume so he went as the Cat in the Hat. Caeleb could only tolerate about 6 houses because of the cold but Chris said that he had fun saying "treat" with the other kids (he was there for a "treat" not "trick" right) and "thank you" when he was given some candy. Oh, I so want to see pictures myself because I was looking forward to seeing Caeleb dressed up. The more I think about it, the more dissapointed I am that I couldn't be there but I can imagine that Caeleb looked and acted adorable when he was trick or treating for the first time.  Nathan held down the fort and I guess there were not as many children that came to our place as we originally thought there would be.

For the record, this is Caeleb's 3rd Halloween. Last year Caeleb had a tiger costume that he wore but he did not go trick or treating. I had to work that evening and he was a little too little to know what was going on. Also, Caeleb was a bear for his first Halloween in 2010. He was only 1.5 months old and looked so precious in his little bear outfit that Wendy let us barrow.
