Halloween - Super Calvin to the Rescue!

It's Halloween weekend! Phil was going to dress Calvin up like a burrito so he could get a free burrito at Chipotle, but it turns out they didn't have that promotion this year. Instead you had to dress up like some processed food, like a chicken mcnugget. So, no Chipotle and no baby burrito costume for Calvin (thank goodness). Luckily his Aunt Winnie bought him a nice halloween costume. Before we got him all dressed up we put him in one of his Spiderman onesies.


And then out came the Superman costume. Phil liked the idea that he was Superman on the outside and Spiderman on the inside. Look it's a baby superman!


Super Calvin is getting ready to fly!



With Calvin all dressed up we headed into Chinatown to have lunch with Phil's family. His cousin, Alex, was in town and wanted a chance to meet Calvin. We ended up going to Congee Village, a long time favorite. Between eating and juggling Calvin, you only get one food picture this time ^__^ - noodles, pineapple fried rice, and Chinese donuts.

After lunch Kevin took a swing at being Superman. Somehow its hard to be taken seriously when your cape is so short...

When we were ready to leave we got Calvin into his little carrier and he was out like a light.

After Congee Village we headed back to the Hester Street fair. It was officially the last weekend they were open before they closed up for the winter. There was a Mexicue truck parked on the street outside the fair that was selling Mexican-style barbeque sandwiches - pulled pork, etc.

I don't remember what they ordered, but I had a bite of the pulled pork sandwich and it was really good. They even gave us a sandwich for free because they accidentally made an extra one.

Of course Phil still wasn't satisified, so he stopped by one of the stands at the fair to order a bowl of chili.

Before we left we made a stop at our favorite stand - Melt Bakery. It was a little chilly for ice cream sandwiches, but they had just added fried apple and pumpkin pies to their menu - made fresh on the spot! We ordered a fried pumpkin pie and took it back to Lucia's apartment to enjoy. It was covered in sugary goodness.

And of course Calvin couldn't go a day without pooping on himself, so he got to get dressed up in a nice new outfit. I think he was glad to finally be rid of that Superman outfit.

Once we got him bundled up and into the car seat he was out again. He falls asleep any where and any time. I wonder where he gets that from... ^__~
