3. What to dooooooooo?

I am having a similar issue to Mae over at Two Hoots & a Holler.
I have no idea what to dress up as this weekend!

So first... go check out Mae's conundrum...

Now... Hear mine!
For the past 5 - 50 years I have dressed up as a bumble bee...

Here are a few examples...

2009 @ the Chicago Zoo
FYI: That is my ridiculously good looking husband, when he was my ridiculously good looking fiance. He thought I was cute even when I was pushing a stroller in a bee costume, with rain boots, in public.

2008 @ My parents' house. This was a rejected super hero party, and I played the part of "Buzz Kill" (hence the wings and machette). I walked around sulking and killing conversations with negative chi all night. You can think of me as Debbie Downer, but dressed as an insect with a weapon.
Burley's superhero was "The Flash." 'nuff said.


Now... I DID bring the bee costume to Denver, but I feel like turning over a new leaf. I want something more! something new! something different!

Any ideas?

  1. Yay for followers fest! Love your blog, it's so cute and I'm glad I found it!
    And... I suck at Halloween costumes. I would probably just wear the same costume and say I was a hornet or something.

  4. hahahaha - Alyx. First, thanks for stopping by. Second, I love the idea! keep the costume, change the name. I think this settles it. The bee will return for at least one more year!
    Thanks for the moral support Mae :)

  5. Hey girl! Found you via the Follower's Fest as well! I am pretty certain of two things: we should be friends (I'm ALSO in Denver AND part of the LinkUp...so much in common already!) and we should swap buttons for November! I couldn't find your email, so I'm posting this plea for all to see :) Let me know what you think and keep buzzin!
