buried in little black spots

I took a break from the costume making Sunday and Monday, and now I am in the final push. I’m currently in the process of covering the whole back of the costume with spots (by the way, have I mentioned how many hours I have spent cutting those out?).

How am I keeping Caleb occupied? Two words. Moon sand. He loves that stuff. We bundled up in several layers today and spent a long time on the screened porch. Him playing in the sand and me cutting out little black dots, and smiling to myself as I watched someone mow at the house next door (more on that later). I just realized, since we are having a cold snap with a high of 50 today and 25mph winds, that Caleb doesn’t have a thick winter jacket yet. He has several light weight ones. So I put him in a long sleeved shirt, a sweatshirt, a jacket and a hat pulled over his ears with his hood up. He might not have been able to bend at the elbows, but everything was warm except his hands and nose!

Didn’t I take this picture last year? I’ve come to the conclusion this hat is never going to fit.
