One Sweet Honey (Bee)





Such drama! Such pathos! Such pressure!

Who'd a-thunk that outfitting a baby out for his first Halloween would be so intense! The competition: 1) banana; 2) pirate; 3) bumble bee. Each was charming and would work, but in the end, there could be only one winner. It was a real crisis, trying to figure whether to buy the banana costume on-line, find a pirate costume (or some other one) in a store, or make the bumble bee one! The date was drawing near, and the question just could not be easily resolved! Finally, at the last minute, Mommy made an executive decision, and got all the elements together, creating this Mommy-made bee outfit for the little guy. Could he BEE any cuter?!? We don't think so!

And to think the costume is just a onesie, some electrical tape, some aluminum foil on cardboard and black pipe cleaners (and those anntenae just crack me up!), along with sweat pants (heaven forbid!) and a bat hat converted to a bee cap... Very creative! Mommy is so darn creative and inventive!

Now that we have his first major life event (OK, second - after being born) taken care of, we now must turn our attention to the next big obligatory crisis: The Christmas Card! Oh my!
