. . . . . . . . .

horrible sore throats and runny noses (for the bumble and the mama bee)…not quite how i pictured Halloween, but it’s ok.  the schedule’s full: school in the morning, a school party from 11-1:30, home for a little disco-nap, then a neighbor’s party from 3-6 and trick-or-treating through the building immediately following.  not sure if we’ll make it through all that.  all i know is that bear has graciously agreed to keep all the candy away from my greedy little fingers, which i greatly greatly appreciate.

oh, and just in case you don’t know why she’s a bee:  my husband calls me Bee (melissa means “honeybee”, so it works), and when we were pregnant, we called the baby-in-belly The Bumble.  thus the bee reference.  she’s been a bee before (and dorothy last year), but i figured this was the last year Mama Bee would get to choose her costume, and i wanted one more bee year!
