Thank you so much Lynette, for the giggle last night!
We CAN celebrate Halloween, while also spreading Breast Cancer Awareness... with just a little bit of "creative thinking".
These little guys are essentially modifications to Ay & Zhe to create the BOO BEES. ("boobies" as breasts are often called by young children)
Little Bumble Bees dressed up as ghosts. I thought it would also look really cute in a light pink, but thought about it after the fact.
But in sharing the awareness & the holiday, there are some important facts to remember about Breast Cancer. While breast cancer is not preventable; you can lower your risks with lifestyle modifications. The more you know about the disease, the more likely you are to seek treatment and have a greater chance of beating Breast Cancer!
