With a mere 24 degrees out this fine Monday morning, it appears that fall is moving on and out. Last week, this was the view, looking straight up, from my front yard at sunset. Sadly, it doesn’t last. Fall’s only fault, really.
Did I post Cole and Dan at Halloween? (That’s really a rhetorical question. I actually know the answer; I just didn’t know how to transition into the next paragraph.)
Thank you, Adobe InDesign. For letting me make the best halloween costume accessory ever.
And of course, don’t forget about bee, er, I mean, me.
20 plus years in the same costume. Lookin’ GOOD sister. Lookin’ good.
Farewell, sweet Fall. We barely knew ye…

You ARE frugal!
Love the wire spaghetti. Looks like mine except with the dust sheep (yes, they are bigger than bunnies.)
kreativekate says
LOVE the boys’ costumes. They are better together!
Stacie Jo says
2 questions – who plays the piano (in picture of the “boys”) 2. What did the lovely Aiden go as? 🙂
sue Treiber says
but didja get snow? we did in Detroit.
You are one hot bee!
michelle says
i heart the boots that the young bee is wearing in the last pic…where did those come from?
cathy says
Answers for Stacie jo:
1. no one, sadly.
2. some garden variety goth princess! and i got NO photos because she went to a party where they dressed up there, and took off all the costumes before i picked her up.

I like Dan’s FBI agent outfit, but I think he bears a striking resemblance to the guy in the Matrix. Ya know the one than can duplicate himself and keeps trying to kill Keanu Reeves? Must be the dark glasses. But still, a great costume and so is Cole’s.
Kim says
Wow, he totally pulls off the Fox Mulder – how adorable!!
I love your iconic bee costume – very classy.
Tell Aiden to get a pic from one of her friends… you KNOW they took pics of each other. 😉
Cyndi says
Love it! You are a riot! Thanks for making my mornings.
Nanette says
You are a wonderful start to my day!! Love your blog. Love the costumes and especially the ‘Bee’ Fantastic!!!
BethBG says
Wow, Fox and the alien look great 😀 XX’s
jenny says
Love the photos…You probably have already done this but…I think a mini album of you in your Halloween Bee costume over the years would be so fun!
Anna Willett says
you are awesome! i would like to visit your house for one day to view all the craziness in person. you guys must be cracking up all the time!
Stephanie T. says
ok…next year they both need to be the “Men in Black’ guys…and you can ‘bee’ the alien!
oh gawd…i need more coffee….
Lisa says
I just love reading your blog.
Natty says
It is a perfect combo – Season 2-ish Mulder and a Little Green Man, I know technically Reticulans are grey, but green is so much cooler! And of course, that bee had a lot to answer for in the first X-Files film! :oP
cindy b says
Like I always say…BBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE yourself. 😉
kristi says
ok since no one else has the nerve to say it I will…..
Wow! Mulder is Hot!!
rubberbandgirl says
Dan was good-lookin’ before, but in that costume? Whoa!
Jeanne Pellerin says
Love the bee. Again. I was a nun. Again. (When you’ve spent 13 years in Catholic school, you get to dress up as a nun for Halloween, and the Church doesn’t hold it against you. I think, anyway).
Teal says
CATHY!!! DO YOU READ THESE??
Sorry for the yelling, guess I’m a little excited! I was just going through some old magazine pages I had torn out for inspiration. And there, on one of the perfectly filed pages, was you! Or your name at least!
Imagine my surprize – Cathy Zielsk – St. Paul, MN and your layout of “Sharon & her Boys” or something like that.
OK, so YOU knew you had it in there, and probably do did everyone else, but it was fun to “discover” you myself!
beth s. says
Great costumes!
Glad you got a fall, here in Texas the leaves turn one day and fall the next.
This year, I will say the leaves have been pretty, but it’s still in the 70s!
Rebecca says
CLASSIC!
Petra says
Love the costumes Cathy! And yes.. I think your Hubby ist HOT! When I look out of the window here in Germany most of the trees have lost their pretty leaves… but one.. just outside my office window ist still full of lovely orange leaves.. the colour of fire. I like to imagine it has kept its leaves just for my pleasure.
jody says
Heidi Klum copied your outfit…she’s such a follower LOL
Linda says
Cathy–you could be having much warmer weather this week (ok,it would be wet) if you had com the CKC in Seattle! We will miss you!
Cheri says
Dan totally looks the part! Love his badge.
As for your costume…I bought a $40 mummy costume (really cool sheath dress, etc) at Target 3 years ago and I plan to do the same thing, as long as I can fit in it and pull off the whole tight dress thing;)

You are bee-utiful! (Sorry, that was pretty lame…but I couldn’t resist)!
Tiffany K says
The picture of Dan and Cole cheered me up. Thanks!

Fall is so beautiful where you are! After hot weather earlier this month we finally got some sweater wearing fall weather. Just as I put away the summer clothes and pull out all the cold weather stuff I hear that it’s supposed to get back up into the 90’s this Fri & Sat!! I guess that’s why I love living here–in Southern California–you can’t beat the great weather!
Stacy says
Okay, I’m totally in love with the X Files costumes. I may have to steal these next year!
