Beebo, I Want To Be a Pollen Jock!

The name of my blog is "All About Home Staging & Other Things". This post would qualify for the "other things" part.
My adorable grandson, 4.5, has been talking about being a "Pollen Jock" for Halloween this year. To in lighten those who don't know about Pollen Jocks....they are in The Bee Movie. Pollen Jocks are the only ones that get to leave the bee hive to go out and collect the pollen to bring back to the hive, so that the worker bees can make honey. It's a really big deal and they are the coolest ones in the movie.
I've been searching for a pre-made costume for the little guy, but no one is making them. Don't the costume makers understand how cool this outfit is?
So, I, Beebo, have taken it upon myself to make a Pollen Jock costume. I've taken a black zip up hoody, placed bright yellow duct tape * around the body and over the hood to create stripes. The antennae are made from black zip ties. The Pollen-ater is a water gun with yellow cups glued all around. The shield for the "helmet" is a pair of cool kid size sunglasses.
I think he looks great, but the main thing is that "he" thinks that he looks just like a Pollen Jock and that's the most important thing.
*Yet another use for bright yellow duct tape!
