HaBee Halloween - The Whole Family

For our regular blog followers, you may recall what Jane dress up as for Halloween last year.   And if you don't remember, or didn't catch the post, here it is.

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".
