Halloween: Superman!

Happy Halloween! This year Calvin went as Superman! That was my old Superman cape from when I was little and it is still awesome! Thanks mom for the cool dress up. Calvin was a great superman (does he even know who Superman is? I don't have an answer for that). He loved Trick-or-Treating and getting to hang out with Aunt Kyra was a lot of fun too = ). The picture with the doughnut mess is from our neighborhood Halloween party (sponsored by the ward). Man it was cold, but so much fun! We love Halloween around here!

Manly Apron

I have heard that Calvin was not particularly manly in all of the pictures I have of him in my aprons. Fortunately, his Nai Nai (grandma) took care of him. She gave him this very manly Lightning McQueen apron and he is loving it! Particularly when we are making chocolate cookies for the Halloween party.

Glasses

Calvin likes to wear Mr. Potato Head's glasses and I was finally able to get a picture of the fun!

Corny!

About a week ago my family came out over Conference to visit. It was a lot of fun. I wish that I had some pictures that included them; however, I only got Calvin pictures (I am biased) while we were all at the corn maze. Well, at least he is cute. The corn maze was a lot of fun, and there were a lot of fun activities for kids and families too.

Kinetic Sculpture

Calvin and I went to the Farmer's Market at Thanksgiving Point a week ago. They had an art exhibit that included this cool kinetic sculpture. It had big buckets of water that was piped and moved around. There were various switches and levers that could be pulled to affect the sculpture. Sometimes it made noise and sometimes it shot or dumped water. It was a lot of fun. I couldn't get Calvin away from it. He was in little guy heaven!

How to get a kid to eat his vegetables

It turns out that all you have to do to get some kids to eat their vegetables is to grow them yourself. If we pull it out of the garden Calvin will pretty much eat it. He is eating raw Zucchini here. He eats carrots, squash, tomatoes, cucumber, strawberries, peas, lettuce and peppers so well when he helps pull them from the garden. Yay!

Monster Carrots!

So that is why you are not supposed to plant carrots too close! Yesterday I wanted to pull some carrots from the garden to put into my dinner, but this was the beast that I ended up with! You wouldn't believe how intertwined those things were!
