Happy Halloween!

"Buzz. Buuzzzz. Buzz."

Translation: Happy Halloween!

This incredibly sophisticated bee outfit was made, in part, by the AJB Corporation. Although the onesie was purchased, Ashley made the tu-tu and the wings by hand. The wings are made of 100% genuine pipe cleaners and the tu-tu out of edible tulle (well, at least Eden thinks it is edible) with an elastic waistband. AJB even provided a matching pacifier clip (which you can order for the low cost of 19.95 ... but wait, if you order now ...)

On Wednesday, we took Eden to the annual Sorority Row Halloween Trick-or-Treat Festival. Every year, several sororities have the street in front of their houses closed and hand out candy to the kiddies. Although Eden did not actually receive any candy, she enjoyed looking around at all the fun stuff.

As we walked the street, Ashley and I tried to notice reactions to our costumes. Many people looked somewhat confused. Others smiled, said "How cute. A little Bee. And her beekeepers", and went on their way. Others could not resist talking to the bee (one little girl in particular who also asked, "What are you?" to me).

It was a hit all around (thanks Spencer, Maren, and Lance Madsen our costume inspirations and to Eden's Aunt Whitney and Uncle Boston for the reminder).

Tonight (Friday, October 31), we'll stay at home and pass out candy to the Garden District Trick-or-Treaters. Perhaps next year, Eden will be saying "Trick-or-Treat" herself - how fun!
