So this year I thought and thought what we should do for Halloween as a family. A lot of time passed and since mail takes several weeks, I worried that I would run out of time to order something online (costume or materials).
Then it occurred to me and Nils that we could dress up around the theme of a costume Jane already had - her bee costume! I found some materials to make various things for the rest of us. I made a sleeper out of a black T-shirt for Harry and added stripes and wings. Nils and I just found things in our closets and added accents (I made my belt). The one thing I struggled with was how to do antennae for everyone. In the end, as you can see, I simplified my life and just drew them on. Harry has a mustache as a result of playing around the night before and realizing how much he resembles the baby on The Addams Family Values.
So here we are, at a friend's house, all dressed up as the Bee Family! We were the only ones that dressed up except for a 2-year-old Batman, a 5-year-old witch, and a 5-year-old creatively thrown together "bat lady".

What a Bee-yootiful family. I wonder if this was a party for out-of-towners? Do Kazakhs celebrate Halloween? When Sharole was a wee lass, Halloween wasn't a real holiday for Australia, it's only just come up in the last 10 years. And you can blame that on America and China.
I love love it!! You are so creative! :)
You guys look great!
Totally cute outfits there. Great job Emily.
Did you do any buzzing noises thoughout the night?
Next year tell all those new friends of yours to pull their socks up and get dressed up and have some fun.
Emily,
I don't know if you remember me -- it's Anna from YW camp in Indiana. I hope you don't find this creepy, but I found this blog after I looked you up on the Internet because I wondered what you were up to these days. I'm so happy to see that you're doing well and have such a beautiful family! I think it's really neat that you are having international adventures together.
And isn't it your birthday around this time of year too? Happy birthday!
Anna! I totally remember you. How are you!?! How can I get in touch with you and catch up?
My email address is (my first name) dot (my last name) at gmail dot com. My last name (spoiler alert!) is now Pugsley.
