grumpy bee - a halloween post

he looks so cute right here, right? and he is cute, but MAN has he been one whiny, cranky bee the past few days! eeekkkk! really, it comes & goes - he's his happy, energetic self, then BOOM, the bottom falls out & it's crank-i-licous time. this morning i was desperately trying to keep myself from going nuts as he vacillated between the two. it was tough, but i think i got all the groceries we needed, however i did realize that i asked for the wrong amount of fabric to be cut - too little of course :( bummer. it's just so darn hard to think when you're juggling a 2.5 yr old, you know?! and to think we're having another one. really, what are we thinking???! haha! i know it will be fun & crazy & terrible & wonderful - all together. life is beautiful you know!

so before i get another email from mimi asking when i'm ever going to post about halloween, i'll go ahead & post the pics. as you saw, hudson was a bee & the most adorable part was that when you asked him what a bee said, he said "buzzzzz!" with his little lisp :) priceless! i do adore that little stinker (who i think JUST fell asleep - hallelujah!)...

mom didn't quite get this one in focus!

the elkins boys stopped over for a quick photo shoot. the 3 of them got quite a kick out of each other in costume!

we were just getting the hang of trick-or-treating here & he wasn't too sure about it.

we hit a few houses in our neighborhood & then went on our annual trick-or-treat with the sebas.

the little strawberry, buzz light year, & the bumblebee

one sweet ride!

we had a blast trick-or-treating. the weather was awesome - the coolest halloween we've had so far & that made it great to walk around. hudson still didn't really get the whole candy thing - it was pretty much enough for him to just walk up to doors & get something to put in his bee bag & then get to ride in the wagon to the next house! he did get a little freaked out @ one lady who had one of those bowls with the little hand that will grab @ your hand when you reach for the candy. she didn't do it to him, of course, but she did it to clint & he was totally unhappy about that. he was silent for a long time & then said "that scare me."!!! we felt so bad about it & so tried to comfort him & tell him it was funny (even thought it did actually startle clint!!) & that we were having fun so the rest of the way home he kept saying "trick-or-treat. that's funny? that's funny."!!! i think he eventually convinced himself that it was funny & he wasn't scared after that.

and so there you go! halloween only 2 weeks late :)
