Updated: I made the Spider Baby costume. It turned out OK and I got a couple snapshots before my wife got too weirded out.

Well, I gave it my best shot. I think my conceptualization skills exceeded my ability to execute. Plus, my wife and I both got jobs in the interim, and I had less time than I'd planned for. But enough pre-apology. Here's the goods:

Whatcha think?

EDIT: I'm thrilled to have caused a few gasps and chuckles. Thanks for the positive feedback; I'll use it as rhetorical fodder in next year's inevitable spousal argument over Halloween propriety.

Babies do all pretty much look the same (especially black ones lol [it's ok because I'm black {not to mention capable of triple parentheticals} and race jokes are funny anyway] jk), but I blanked out my daughter's face because the internet is a big place where nothing ever really disappears, and she has a novelty Facebook account besides. Better safe than sorry. And that Orange Head Trip (nice, ReddEdIt!) meme is funny enough that I just might redraw the oval inside the facial boundary for a more exploitable image.

footbolt, you are an inspiration to parents everywhere. I've always maintained a strict "no journal" policy in my life, so when I'm old and senile, none of my crazy anecdotes will be falsifiable. I hadn't even considered the obvious cross-generational corollary.

Happy belated Halloween, everyone! Hopefully your Christmas isn't Creeping yet!
