Blog a la Cart

I purchased the Bug’s Halloween costume today. A highlight, to say the least.

Recently, I have been sent many a link to various Lady Bug themed Halloween costumes but I have either felt fairly underwhelmed with their cuteness factor, or have been disappointed by the sizing. My almost-five-month-old may be husky, but she sure ain’t fitting into a 2-year old’s costume, two six-foot plus parents or no.

But today, oh glorious today, a college pal Melody forwarded me the creme-de-la-creme. The Lady Bug costume to top all Lady Bug costumes. It was like saying Yes to the Dress!, except to my baby’s Halloween costume. TOTALLY THE SAME THING!

And I am now shaky with anticipation and excitement.

Because, obviously.

IT IS A BUBBLE! GOOD LORD! Who can resist a bubble? ON A BABY?!

Satan, and Hitler, and Teletubbies, that’s who.

Moving on.

I am going to just gobble her up in this. Okay, I’m not really going to eat my child. But maybe. It’ll be tempting.

I’ll eat you up I love you so!

I’ve been saying that quite a bit lately- what with all The Wild Things hype. I can’t help it.

Anyway, Halloween. Costume. Bug. Right!

I will be sure to document to an inappropriate degree the wearing of said costume. We are headed up to our old stomping grounds of Ventura to visit our dear friends who host an annual Halloween party. The holiday is taken very seriously in their household, and James has been suffering from serious anxiety (no really, like he’s prematurely balding and his skin is breaking out and he can’t stop futsing with EVERYTHING) because we (as in he and I) have yet to come up with a suitable costume, and we may be turned away at the door if we don’t get our shit together.

I kid you not.

At least the Bug will be guaranteed entrance. She can party like a Bug Star, or something.
